Dan Scott: Clemson - Ga. Tech Prediction
Through seven games the Tigers are 6-1 and ranked No. 12 in the country. Picking games, I'm 5-2 and, while ranked nowhere near that high, my stats this season are infinitely better than they have been the past two years. Full Story » |

I don't understand how Dan Scott gives a slim edge...

to both teams, then counts them as even on special teams and coaching, then says Clemson beats GA Tech by 11?

special teams until we prove them wrong; one reason GT is worse than us statistically is we've squibbed so many kicks... limiting returns to 5 or 10 yards... and we've also got placekicking issues (as does GT)... but GT's punter is averaging over 43 a kick I think

GTs net punting is 39.5 to our 37.0.

Their opponents average starting on the 30 after a kick-off. The Tigers opponents average starting at the 31.

GT hasn't played in front of a tough road crowd this year...

To their credit, the VT crowd was a non-factor 1/2 through the first quarter. I think GT could easily get rattled.

Come on Dan...Get your head out of the clouds and come back to reality. Basing your decision on skewed stats and athletic ability is wrong, wrong, wrong. Take away Clemson's punching bag games (La Tech, Temple, FL Atl, & yes, NC) you will notice that the "true" stats are basically on par with everyone else in their conference. What you are forgetting are the intangibles and mental preparation. This is why I believe, past games have been so close. Almost every year, Clemson has always had an advantage with better athletes but Tech has always countered this with a logical gameplan. Yes, Tech usually wins the game because they "outsmart" the Tigers. Trying to fill an athlete's head with more than they can handle will usually lead to mistakes and blown coverages. This is what Tech will do tomorrow. This year Maryland almost did it to us but you must consider where their coach came from. I really don't care who wins but I am hoping for a good, clean, game that will put the ACC's best foot forward to a national audience. Don't be too shocked or dismayed if Clemson comes out on the short end of the stick on this one.

Really, I didn't know that this was a private forum. In any case, don't get me wrong, I like and follow Clemson Football since they are a bona fide member of the ACC except for one game a year (maybe two this year if things go well for both teams). I sure would like to know how you came up with your picks and I would guess from your grammer that you're a student.

"Run around and throw it to Calvin Johnson"...I'll give you this, at least it's logical. I would not, however, call it a "plan".
Here's to an injury free contest...and here's to y'all getting your a$$es handed to you on the field.

I apologize in that I may have mislead you to the pertinent points that I was trying to convey. Hopefully Tech's "logical" gameplan will not be as simplistic as you have indicated.

I simply pointed out that your "mental preparation" boiled down to a single philosophy.
Enjoy your evening.
