My D only operates at about 40% completions as well.
I think I need to see a doctor.

Faced a lot of running and/or bad QBs so far

Even so, their stats against us have been much worse than they were against others. The only QB to put up respectable numbers against us was Marquise Williams, and I think UNC is showing that they're a really good offense.

This is a surprising post for you

Did you actually say something negative about our opponents and their QB's?
I'm thinking that your perception of them as "bad" is a direct result of having played us. Jacoby Brissett seemed pretty hyped coming into our game. Reggie Bonnafon was supposed to be hitting his stride and a legit dual-threat guy. Tyler Murphy made the real USC look silly and is on pace to break Woody Dantzler's rushing record in a single season for an ACC QB.
Until we stifled them, I'm not quite sure they were being labeled as "bad QB's".

Are you always wrong, or just since you registered for tnet?

Bonnafon hasn't been any good. The closest thing he's had to a good game was against Wake when he was only 16 of 32 for 206 yards.
Brissett is an OK QB, but he hasn't really done anything great this year outside of the FSU game.
If you were able to read through the blinders you like to put up, you'd see that I said the QBs we've played that weren't pretty bad who we shut down were running QBs- like Tyler Murphy. In fact, we may get through this whole season without playing an above average QB because Winston was out when we played FSU.
I'm sure you won't, but if you'd educate yourself, you'd realize that the truth about other teams is nothing to be afraid of. Too many people on tnet are almost as ignorant of other teams as you are, which leads them all to expect us to beat teams like UofL and BC by 30 just because we shut out NC State. Then they're disappointed and unable to appreciate wins that aren't sufficiently dominant.
And if you're offended by reading something other than uninformed trash talk about other teams, then maybe it's you that lacks confidence in Clemson.

But for a few broken plays and some bad coverage mistakes our back 4 has been pretty solid.
Our front 7 is phenomenal and has gotten great pressure on the passers when they aren't throwing them to the ground.
Check out our rank in the TFL sector ...it is very telling .

Consider our Offensive Pass D for a moment...

There were two balls that should have been intercepted by BC that our receivers knocked down.
It's infectious!
Even our O plays D well!
