We'll see what happens when it's game time, but I love this quote from Coach Morris about Andre.

"Every time I see him, he’s grinning from ear-to-ear because he knows what’s in store for him.”

So ready to see what this offense can do on the field***

Morris said a 2 TE set. I love that.***

One thing I don't agree with him on is that punting is okay or that FG's are okay. To me, a punt is nothing but the result of a failed drive. The same can be said of a FG, except you failed closer to the goal. Granted, every drive can't result in a TD, but that should be the goal, and as an offense, it should make them sick if they don't get a TD every drive, IMO. I'm so excited about this season. Spot the ball!

he said that punting isnt good but getting a field goal means your doing some good things ofcourse td's are the way to go but sometimes you have to settle for 3 and not 7

"Kicking the ball" includes extra points.

Now that is an acceptable kick!

What you said is true, and a FG is better than nothing, but I want us to look at having to settle for a FG as being short of the goal. A TD per drive with no punts or FG's should be the goal, and an offensive player should not be satisfied with less, even though it's better than nothing. Kind of like going out with an ugly girl. It's a date, but nothing to be really proud of.

I think he meant that if a drive ends in a kick, chances are you're not giving the ball back to the other team deep in your own territory. It makes it easier on your defense.

I hope this guy isn't filling heads with a bunch of crap. I hope these boys will be ready to play. We will see over the next month. It all sounds good, but we will see shortly.

I think what he meant was is better to kick then to throw a pick or force a throw. Win the battle of field position. Throw it away and get ready for next play or drive.

Go tigers! Ready for first game!

Maybe, but that's not how I took it. I really don't think they like punts any more than I do. We do have a very good punter now, and that can be a huge help when we get bogged down,but I'd just as soon not have to put him in.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm not sure I understand the kicking comment.


Aug 22, 2011, 11:02 PM

I hope that's a misquote or taken out of context. I'm not sure how kicking every series is a good thing.

Re: I'm not sure I understand the kicking comment.


Aug 22, 2011, 11:13 PM

As you should know by now Morris's biggest peeve is turnovers. If we are kicking the ball (PAT, FG, and Punt) it means that we are protecting the ball and not turning it over.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He means either ends in an extra point, FG, or punt, and not


Aug 23, 2011, 8:06 AM [ in reply to I'm not sure I understand the kicking comment. ]

a turnover.

the goal of course is a TD, which we will score plenty of with The Chad at the helm. But he preaches NO balls in jeopardy and make sure the drive ends in some sort of kick, even a punt is better than a turnover in your own territory.

I get it now. Sorry. I had a few Monday night cocktails and it was late. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Everyone hung up on the kicking comment when the most


Aug 23, 2011, 8:25 AM

revealing comment he made was about the OL. I believe "sad" was the word he used when talking about developing backups...

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Screw Calford.


Re: Everyone hung up on the kicking comment when the most


Aug 23, 2011, 8:53 AM

That has been the norm at Clemson that we may get some good starters but once they are gone the OL suffers. 2 or 3 years of Robbie Caldwell will change that though.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Agree, I think Caldwell didn't have much depth to work with


Aug 23, 2011, 9:05 AM

...the new class coming in will fix a lot of that.
