Thoughts on the ACCCG?

Obvi, APM hopes Clemson beats the Domers. Given that our guys SHOULD have won in regulation up there with a depleted squad, APM is not too worried about the game. Despite their ranking and their wins, APM still is not convinced ND is really THAT good. If they play Alabama, Bama will kill them.
That said, it's 2020, and whatever happens happens. The only game APM allowed himself to get excited about (FSU) was forfeited. Once bitten twice shy. APM will tune in, no doubt. But not getting too excited about it, not making it an event.
Where y'all at with this one?

this season has been strange for multiple reasons. I hope we win as you said, but it won't bother me as much this year as it would in the past if we don't. Is what it is at this point for me.

that being said...Bama is going to go in dry against anyone

they play so I don't think it really matters who is in the playoff with them. They will beat ND, Clemson, Florida, OSU by 14+. They are pretty much unbeatable right now.

650yds and 48 pts up against them. Heck, even an anemic TN offense had 300yds. AU had plenty of chances to make it a tight game with them, but they self-inflicted wounded themselves to death. I'm not entirely sold on Bama being the Darth Saban variety team this year.

JK...I get that, but Bama just always seems to get it done for some reason. And they normally don't play down to their competition like we seem to do at times. Def not like we used to woth Bowden, but sometimes it is clear that the team overlooks underdogs.

If not, it's 2020 so I wouldn't hate it for Clemson because 2020.
BUT IT WOULD SUCK FOR THOSE COCKY SMUG BASTERDS TO DROP BY THE ACC FOR 1 YEAR AND TAKE HOME A TROPHY SO HELL NO.

we will have a mostly healthy defense

Trevor will create some runs with the RPOs
Etienne won't give them a scoop and score
Tigers win by double digits

I think our offensive efficiency improves with Trevor and

hopefully a healthy Ladson and Dixon and theirs regresses with our 3 defensive starters back and their center out which leads to more at bats for us and fewer for them. Also, our increased functional depth on defense will allow a 4 man front and pressure with our front four allowing our linebackers to run free and make tackles. More tackles from our front seven means fewer tackles from our secondary and fewer nicks dings and injuries during the game and a better performance late in the game.
Tigers win by 10.

From your lips to God's ears. Honestly, two things keep me

from betting any money on this.
Defensively, the things that hurt us last time are still there. Book had acres of green grass in front of him all night and linebacker play seemed to be a weakness. Getting Skalski back will help, but who is betting on his health? Davis will help, but we didn't lose the game there. We'll be better defensively, but I would be surprised if its night and day.
Offensively, I can't see how we're going to improve on the 1 yard per carry we got last time. In the end that lost the game for us - we got over 400 yards passing, so how many do we need to win? - and it will be an issue tomorrow.
I don't think that means we'll lose. I think we'll win. I'm just saying that people who think last time was anomaly and that "the real Clemson" is going to blow out ND this time are expecting different things to happen with the same players. We're a very good team. So is ND.

Book is a Conner Shaw clone

something about slow white quarterbacks gives us problems.
If we can get some pressure on him and not let him get those easy yards, I will be happy.
I am officially concerned he will still get his short runs for first downs and keep our offense off the field and when we get the ball, we will feel pressure to make things happen and TL will not look as good as DJU did and I am afraid it is going to be a close close game.

and elusive - and he's a handful. I know we have 5 star all world defensive ends, but he ran past and threw over them all night.
