Didn’t think our Oline could get any worse but oh my. They have been totally manhandled. And when not being knocked around they have been standing around.

This is pathetic. Offense still looks boring and unorganized. Cade is not a smart QB. I don’t expect things to change next year. Sorry Clemson faithful but being average is now the standard.

Three blocks in the back on that KR TD, Facemask on the sack, Offensive PI on the big pass in the 1st half... These refs are terrible.
