People...you're all overthinking this game.


Nov 26, 2014, 10:43 PM

This is still the SC that lost to Mizzou, Kentucky and Tennessee. This is the same team that gave up 52 to A&M, 45 to Kentucky, 42 to Auburn and 45 to Tennessee. When this "record setting" offense ran into a defense (Mizzou/UF),they scored 20 and 23 points, respectively. Don't get me wrong. They don't have a BAD offense. But they ain't world beaters.

SC fans want to tout the "improvement" of their defense. Stop kidding yourselves. You played a Florida team that couldn't pass the ball (which conveniently plays right into the fact that you haven't been able to get a pass rush all season), and South Alabama. How quickly we forget that 2 short games ago, you got gashed by Tennessee to the tune of 645 yards and 45 points. And the game before that it was 551 yards and 42 points to Auburn.

Watson is going to play. I know it, all the Clemson fans know it, Spurrier knows it, and SC fans dread it. Sit back. Relax. We're gonna take care of business in Death Valley at high noon.

Go Tigers! The streak is over! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkjkQNXpSHI

It's a nice pep talk. If DW plays, we can pass the ball.... If not. I'll just let you make up your own scenario there

if and a big IF Watson doesn't play


Nov 26, 2014, 11:28 PM

I'm okay with Stoudt. May seem surprising to some of yall but I think he really wants this. In his interview he sounded like a different person. He wants to beat them. Plain and simple. He wants to go out as the quarterback who ended the streak. As long as we give him enough time in the pocket I think we will see the Stoudt we have wanted to see. No way we lose this game. Our players want it just as bad as us fans do. Lets get it done boys

My brother actually has English 102 with Watson, and according to him Watson is definitely going to play Saturday. He told him as much last week, this injury is nothing but a sprain.

I'm think 37-21 Good guys Saturday

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Dude why haven't you been telling us this all week.


Nov 26, 2014, 11:00 PM

Very encouraging to hear

Re: Dude why haven't you been telling us this all week.


Nov 26, 2014, 11:02 PM

Didn't really hear anything concrete until Monday. But supposedly he's bee feeling pretty good in practice.

Don't hold me to anything but I'd be surprised if DW isn't suited up and ready to go Saturday

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

WHAT? You mean coots last two wins wasn't a big turn around for them


Nov 26, 2014, 11:07 PM

but but Spurrier said it was & he is always right. Ha ha. GO TIGERS!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Man i hope your right


Nov 26, 2014, 11:21 PM

WE CAN NOT LET THEM LEAVE DEATH VALLEY WITH #6 . Just can't happen. Its in our players heads. They have wanted another shot at them since the offseason. Just a high tension game for both schools. Would love to be playing in this game but I'm sure the butterflys are already setting in. If we win I'm driving 5 hrs to Clemson to celebrate. Going to be a huge party in Clemson if we win and i want to be a part of it. Go tigers!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That's one of the advantages to playing Watson.


Nov 26, 2014, 11:26 PM [ in reply to Man i hope your right ]

He's a freshman and the there's no more than typical game pressure on him.

How do you keep Gamecocks out of your yard?
• Put up goal posts

This is the worst SC defense I've seen in maybe ever. Probably as bad as the one Ford played in the 80's when he handed SCAR a 45-0 loss in Columbia.

There is nothing about that defense that should scare anyone. As I said in another post, even if SC somehow gets a two score lead do not fret - SCAR had double digit leads against Mizzou, UT and UK and still lost. Also had double digit leads against UGA and UF and squeaked out wins.

Re: People...you're all overthinking this game.


Nov 27, 2014, 9:10 AM

I don't know. They beat UF in the swamp. Same team that smoked uga on a neutral field - who pounded us. If dw was completely healthy and had played a bunch, I'd feel better. Right now seeing is believing. Got to go do it and I do not think we do it with Cole (unfortunately).

is different from all those. Those games don't matter.

Re: This game

We lost all three games because Of play calling. We should have ground out the clock, but didn't.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It is different, but it isn't.


Nov 27, 2014, 12:34 PM [ in reply to This game ]

It's different in the way that...this isn't those games. But it's the same in that their defense is still awful.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Remember too folks, that UT had their back-up QB,


Nov 27, 2014, 9:36 AM

Missou had Mattie Mauk, who hits less then 50% of his passes! and a very mediocre UK QB. Turns out, Heisman contender aTm QB, was only good when he played against sorry defenses like Scar. He is not even aTm's best QB. Two of these QBs were mobile and one was more of a pocket guy (uK), so there is not one type of QB that can beat them.

Re: Remember too folks, that UT had their back-up QB,


Nov 27, 2014, 9:57 AM

Very good.

But none of that will matter if we turn the ball over and get out coached like we have in recent years. No question that the level of talent makes USC look like a pop warner team, just gotta put them and themselves in position to beat the prison dic* outta them...Its honestly that simple...

Nov 28, 2014, 12:11 PM

Yep. Turnovers will be key. But we turn the ball over a lot less with Watson in the game.

Precisely sir!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Apparently...


Nov 27, 2014, 1:31 PM

you didn't watch the Ga state game.


I don't want to throw our team to the wolves, but....


having watched Clemson football for 35 years, I have seen some good teams, and I have seen
some not so good teams. And even when we were not so good. We still took care of business
against teams like Ga state.
(Ga state)- that may have been "THE" worse offensive performance I have ever seen, ever.
Had it not been for the 3 picks, thrown by them- that game may have been really, really close.
Sad, so sad...
We have no modivation on offense....
ok, I understand that should change against SC, least it better. But I have come to the conclusion.
Its just like our coaches said, we're in no position to take.....ANYYYYY-ONE for granted.
SC will play out of their minds Saturday....u can bet the farm on that bud.

:)

Happy Thanksgiving.

We should have no excuses with their defense. None.

A very fine analysis indeed.....yes Watson will play and yes we are talking about a very mediocre (at best!) defense....THE STREAK ENDS THIS SATURDAY!!!! Go Tigers!!!!!!!!

28-0 is not " taking care of business " ?
SMH at some of the fans that purport themselves Clemson faithful.

Guys... I told you not to worry.


Nov 30, 2014, 7:49 AM

I told you this was still the same old SC and the same old SC defense and beating Florida meant nothing.

I told you to just relax and enjoy... maybe you'll trust me one day. ;)
