no one believed me when i reported on the Spring Game ... Inliterally watched the sideline and listened to the conversations the whole time. saw zero energy and zero difference

and hype man Ben Boykware - quiet as quiet can be during games except that one and only sack where they got clemson media coverage on him getting hyped. guys been like that since the UGA (which again, i studied the sideline like crazy. i'm always watching body language and interactions )

next level of observing Clemson - count the number of yawns during pregame warmups . it'll shock you

It definitely didn't. It is noticeably better. It's just nothing special.

I miss the aggression of our defense under BV. Sometimes they would hit a big play on us but we would hit them in the mouth more than not. Oklahoma defense this year reminds me of ours in the past. We playing it seems bend but don’t break but Hampton let their WR blow by him and get complete separation for a TD. For us to win Defense had to have a stop but could get it watching their QB continue to get first downs. Hardly any pass rush. I’ve seen much more out of Capehart and Heldth than Parker or Woods.

Which part? The fact that we can actually tackle people now at the line of scrimmage or the part where we dont get run on for 250 yards with 70 yarders at will? You're high. It not brent venables level FOR SURE, but we are better than last year on defense without a doubt. They're on the field twice as much and giving up less point per game.
