Dabo acknowledging he does not play to win games big ...


Oct 7, 2020, 7:53 PM

He plays to win big games. That's what is so counterintuitive about outsiders viewing Clemson. The ACC talent level drives Coach Swinney to manufacture impediments -- this and Swinney's propensity to play benchwarmers drives Clemson's stats far below what they could be (impacting individual awards). And it is also what prepares Clemson to compete with the out of conference big boys. Clemson and Dabo are very good for each other but can be challenging and frustrating to understand from the outside.

How do you expect outsiders to understand this

when there are Clemson fans that don’t even understand it?

Dabo wants everyone to talk Clemson down so he can go out to the barn and start up the Roy Bus.

disagree. Coach Swinney has set a standard for his program. He doesn't care how other view it and imo seems happy to be who he is whether the outside wants him to be the favorite or the underdog. Its my favorite part about him. He is just who he is

Who cares what outsiders think?

Any one with half brain knows this if paid attention last few years.***

Bobby Bowden was good at running up the score.


Oct 8, 2020, 2:02 AM

He’d leave the starters in until the last few minutes.

Different rules for Bowden era......

Polls were driven by headlines as very little tv coverage. Nothing made better headline than huge score back in the day. Having no conference he had to get headlines to get the big game.

I think this would explain playing the 3 DL. It created challenges that didn't have to be there but hopefully having those young DL take the strain now it pays off later in the season.
