Dan Scott Prediction: Clemson at Duke

Dan took a beating last week, both on the field and on the website. Can he bounce back this week? Full Story »

I agree with the final score prediction but, as a matter of policy, I'd expect to never see Clemson having a special teams advantage over any team until one or more of the following occurs:

(1) We have a punt from around the opponent's 40 yard line and are able to down it within the 10. Last week, it went all the way out of the end zone, which is ridiculous.

(2) We have a game where we make all of our field goal attempts.

(3) Our special teams D actually causes problems for the other team's special teams unit (i.e. block a punt, block a kick, etc.)

Having said that, Duke can't outscore us based on special teams alone so we should win easily. However, just because Maryland didn't return a kick against us doesn't mean any problems are fixed....still giving up decent field position, botching field position turnaround opportunities, missing field goals, etc. We're the worst special teams program in the country, year-in and year-out.

Were you at the game last weekend when the punt sailed on Jimmy? Did you see the flag on that end of the field standing straight out? He kicked it high like he's supposed to and the wind got it plain and simple. Did you see him nail one on the other end at the 8 yd line? Special teams may not have turned the corner yet, but get off Jimmy M's back-he's done a great job this year-period!

Agree ... Maners' punt downed on the goal line probably saved the FSU game, and he did that after having been victimized earlier by an "Ole'!" punt protection that allowed a devastating block that turned the momentum around for a long while.

Maner's has been a breath of fresh air this year.

I agree, Maners has been solid this year...the lone bright

spot on special teams.

And he helped pin VT on the 1, which led to to a safety.****

This missed FG was into a 20-25 mph wind.***

Wow I just stuck up for our FG kicker...

Must be drunk at work

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You should stick up for him. He's not bad.***

The Maryland punt that you are referring to


Nov 2, 2007, 4:01 PM [ in reply to Re: Dan Scott Prediction: Clemson at Duke ]

went about 75 yards in the air, from where he kicked it. It wasn't because he was trying to do that, it was because of the wind. Look at the kickoffs from last week. We were driving the ball 7 to 8 yards deep most of the game on kickoffs.

Also, compare that punt to those of the Maryland punter in the opposite direction and you can really tell what a difference the wind made.
