Predictions for the season
Aug 20, 2019, 9:21 AM
|
|
The following is my game by game prediction for the coming season. For anyone with a short attention span that is already thinking about replying with "TLDR" the short version of this post is 15-0 natty champs. For mature readers who value serious football discussion...
Game 1 vs Georgia Tech - I have mixed feelings about playing GT in the first game, but at least we get the triple option over with early instead of having to prepare for it mid season. BV has proven to be worthy of stopping Paul Johnson's offense and this year will be no different. The bees are in for a hurtin. Clemson wins 38-0.
Game 2 vs Texas A&M - The Aggies are about to get the brunt of all the offseason Bama/SEC chatter. The coaches and players are mad and they will unleash the mother effin fury on that angry elf of a coach and their weird team with no cheerleaders. Clemson wins 63-17.
Game 3 at Syracuse - Let's be honest, Dino Babers is a heck of a coach, but he is not very classy. Last year when Clemson beat them in Death Valley Dino didn't even come into the Clemson locker room to congratulate our players. This is a revenge game for them beating us 2 years ago and for head huntin Trevor last year. RIP Cuse DBs, Clemson wins 72-9.
Game 4 vs UNCC - As was mentioned on an Ohio State message board recently and linked here on the Tiger Board(s), UNCC is one of the two FCS games on our schedule. That means we win big and all the coaches' kids will score TDs. Clemson wins 75-3.
Game 5 at UNC - After beating Charlotte the week before, our Tigers have to travel to UNCC's satellite campus in Chapel Hill where Mack Brown thinks they can beat us in front of their 12,000 cardigan wearing fans. But they'll be too full from white zinfandel and brie cheese to make an impact. Clemson wins 63-8.
Game 6 vs FSU - Will Willie Taggart even be employed by this point? Doubtful, Clemson wins easy 52-0.
Game 7 at Louisville - The Wildcats will get curb stomped in this one. Their thuggy fans will be all lugubrious in Lexington, especially after they lost their best player Benny Snell to the draft. Clemson wins 60-7.
Game 8 vs BC - I think BC will keep this one tight for a while. If you'll recall they were moving the ball with ease last year until their QB got injured. However, Clemson will just out-talent them in the 2nd half and take over. Clemson wins 35-21.
Game 9 vs Wofford - Our second FCS opponent who we'll beat 62-6.
Game 10 at NC State - This is the game most experts believe is by far the easiest win on our schedule. I think the experts got it right, Clemson fans will face dangers of getting urinated on by wusspack fans and being shot during tailgates, but Clemson wins 78-2.
Game 11 vs Wake Forrest - My Newspring rep told me we have an opportunity to purchase Wake's playbook again, we just need to raise enough funds. If we do, Clemson wins 60-0. If we don't, I think Clemson wins a close one 21-20.
Game 12 at UofSuCk - Another revenge game after the coots walked into Death Valley last year and secured a moral victory after narrowly losing by 3 TDs. Jake and his receivers lit up our defense all night, to the point where Nikki Steele's husband even called it a loss for Clemson. Well listen up coots, I say #NeverAgain and #GameOn. Clemson gonna send those inbred fans home in the 2nd quarter en route to a 78-0 victory. Feaster will rush for 2 yards on 18 carries and Josh Belk will record 0 tackles. But hopefully Dabo does the right thing and gives both of them a natty ring after the season because let's be honest, those men helped build this program.
Game 13 vs Miami - That's right, I think Miami is our opponent as Mark Richt continues to bring da U back. Unfortunately for him Clemson will be clicking at this point and win another ACC Championship 45-12.
Game 14 vs Ohio State - Clemson remains #1 all year while the fighting nut necklaces finish the season ranked 4th. Just to tweak their fans Dabo selects the Fiesta Bowl for the semi final game where we sent their jersey wearing fans home with a 31-0 loss last time. This time rookie head coach Ryan Day realizes he's in way over his head as Clemson wins it 32-0.
Game 15 vs UCF who beat Oklahoma in their semi final game - It's the matchup we've all been waiting for. The 2017 national champions vs the 2018 national champions. Looking at both rosters side by side there are definite advantages on both sides of the ball for both teams. I think this one stays fairly close through 3 quarters, but our co-Heisman winners Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne take over the 4th. Clemson wins back to back natties and our 3rd in 4 years 42-20. In a post-game interview Dabo proclaims lil ol Clemson isn't supposed to do this but we did and the best is yet to come.
On to basketball season where the World Champion Clemson Tigers will dominate the ACC like they dominated the world...

Minus 3 for not mentioning: Paul Johnson's constipation face, Bobby Petrino and the local volleyball scene in Lexington, and for omitting the words "yards" when discussing the coots' moral victory.
Plus 4 for mentioning: Babers' lack of class, the ruling that Nancytate will be awarded 2 points for our use of laptops this year, Newspring, and an unnamed reporter's moral declarations.
NET of +1

Average score 57-7... not too bad. And 5 shutouts, but ironically, none of them against the FCS teams.

He's been GT's head coach for more than a decade. In fact, Dabo's first game as interim head coach was against Paul Johnson and the Georgia Tech nerds.

On December 7, 2018, Geoff Collins was announced as the head football coach at Georgia Tech. PJ retired the month before. He was previously the head coach at Temple University, and had served in the past as defensive coordinator for the University of Florida and Mississippi State University.
