Elliott isn't the issue.


Nov 8, 2020, 12:59 AM

Have you been watching the games? We lost and the OL was horrible. BV, DS, and TE all share the blame for this loss.

To blame one guy is being an idiot.

I agree about the OL, they can’t run block.


Nov 8, 2020, 1:01 AM

But given that, why do we continue trying to force the issue and run?!?

Especially when we need 1 first down to put the game away in regulation?

We did the same thing in Chapel Hill against UNC last year.

It's frustrating.

We couldn't close the game out last week either***

You have the best running back in the history of the ACC

Nov 8, 2020, 1:08 AM

And you would have the same people say you should have forced the run... the interior of the OL needs to get better run blocking. They should be able to move a guy 1 on 1

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

And it took him 2 games to get the 40 yards...


Nov 8, 2020, 1:09 AM [ in reply to Re: I agree about the OL, they can’t run block. ]

He needed to break the record. This line is bad. The second sack in OT tonight is proof. Completely missed the guy coming off the end.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He isn’t playing like the best RB in ACC history this year


Nov 8, 2020, 1:22 AM [ in reply to Re: I agree about the OL, they can’t run block. ]

because that requires an offensive line to open up holes.

I’m not saying to never give him the ball, but when the game is on the line and we need our best plays to get 10 yards, wasting two of them running up the middle is idiotic.

But that makes sense.

Nowadays nothing makes sense and it’s perfectly ok.

Two reasons. First, sometimes, in some situations, a run is


Nov 8, 2020, 1:13 AM [ in reply to I agree about the OL, they can’t run block. ]

just called for. You have to do it even if you aren't great at it. Second, we have the best RB in college football, who happens to be the greatest RB in Clemson football history. We have to give him some touches. Unfortunately, talent aside, our O-line looks amateurish and lost out there. As an offense, we had no clue as how to run block ND tonight. In fact, we had no clue how to run block BC or Syracuse either; our O-line was totally outmatched by those defenses.

Of course Etienne should get some touches.


Nov 8, 2020, 1:26 AM

But with two minutes to go, up 7, and all we needed was 10 yards, handing off to Etienne on both first and second down was stupid.

That is the situation where you do whatever it takes to get 10 yards. Do something that has been working tonight. Pull out a play they haven’t seen yet. But DON’T do the same crap that hasn’t worked all night.

all is equally idiotic...Some of our playcalling, entire series at times, left a lot to be desired to put it kindly

We gave up over 500 yards to ND. Stop blaming the offense.

Dude, yes the OL was a sieve, but he coach should understand that and adjust his play. Don’t take my word, EX COACH TONY DUNGY even said Clemso should get away from running up the middle if it’s not there.
