I agree that ETN should get 75% of the carries bc, once a RB gets warmed up and starts to sweat, they are hard to stop, especially one that runs as hard with power as ETN does!!! But by just playing one RB, it will affect recruiting with bringing in several top RB's IMO!!!

Re: TNET: Swinney announces change at quarterback


Sep 24, 2018, 11:28 AM

If you are a Clemson fan and you sat through the Sugar Bowl you had to know this day was coming. We are at our best when our tall receivers are making plays down the field, our TEs are getting involved a lot, are running backs are chewing up yardage, and Hunter Renfrow is scoring TDs because opposing defenses are too busy chasing everyone else.

The ACC is not guaranteed a spot in the playoff this year. Style points will count whether they claim it does or not. Especially if Notre Dame keeps winning. We are already dealing with SEC bias so we know they will put 2 SEC teams in the playoff. They will definitely put an undefeated Notre Dame in. That leaves 3 conferences vying for a single spot. We have to win big and we have to pass the eye test each week so there is no doubt. Not sure my heart can take sitting through selection Sunday on December 2nd if the aforementioned scenario plays out and resumes between the champs of the ACC, Big 10 and Big 12 being compared.

As it looks the ACC Championship game will be between us and Duke. Not exactly the resume builder we need even after blasting the coots by 40.

No but you do have to worry about that worse case scenario...

If Bama (or UGA instead), OH State, Stanford, and OU all end undefeated with Clemson...Clemson loses out. SOS of all 4 of those teams is stronger than Clemson's. So winning out isn't all...we need some help in some teams losing.


SOS per the S&P FEI Ratings:

Sep 24, 2018, 11:28 AM

I believe he hasn't redshirted (correct me if I'm wrong). Could transfer for one more year of playing time.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

This is the question!


Sep 24, 2018, 12:49 PM

He played in 2015, 2016 and 2017. He can play 4 games in 2018 (and he already has) and then transfer for 1 year of eligibility. But he is in his 4th year right now. If he takes 1 more snap in any remaining games, he is done with college football at the end of the year.

I have to give the coaches a lot of credit here. They could have waited until after the Syracuse game to make TL QB1. That would have removed all options for KB. Hopefully, KB will stay engaged and work to retake his position. We would be in major trouble if we lost KB right now. We had 3 scholarship QBs leave this past off season. Our depth is already shaky.

AS A KB supporter............he had a fair chance!


Sep 24, 2018, 12:54 PM

All you can ask is for it to be fair! Clearly - TL outplayed KB. My argument before the GT game was; if he didn't play versus Texas A&M do we win(KB)? We will never know that....we don't know that TL couldn't have lead scoring drives! What I do know is he gives us a better chance of winning. 3rd and long now is not so daunting. We have the WR group who can go get it......plus now someone with the arm talent to get it to them in a hurry!

It played out on the field...………...all that needs to be said!

Sep 24, 2018, 11:33 AM

TL is still young and we haven't seen what he will do under pressure. KB has that intangible of experience and also the dual threat as a runner which, while TL is a good runner, KB is better, just like TL has a better deep ball than KB.

Now we'll really see what kind of character KB has in how he accepts this. I feel bad for him, but that's the breaks in bigtime college ball. He's shown a lot of impressive character so far - both of them have.

Teams may know who to prepare for primarily, but they still have two very different QBs to plan for.

Re: KB will still see some good playing time, I think


Sep 24, 2018, 11:36 AM

Oh, give up on the dual threat runner stuff...a passer like TL backs the defenses off, which helps the running game of the RB's. Kelly has to be a complete passer to really be a "dual" threat...otherwise, he's a runner than doesn't threaten you deep enough to back you up. It equals out...Clemson is still now a dual threat team....passing by TL, running by ETN and the RB's. They still have to try to stop both with Trevor in...but now the QB injury risk should probably go down some.

Re: TNET: Swinney announces change at quarterback


Sep 24, 2018, 11:47 AM

I'm sure that just like Jalen Hurts at Bama, Kelly Bryant thinks he is capable of becoming a high round NFL draft pick if given the playing time. In both cases, they just are not even on any teams wish list for quarterback. Neither is accurate enough passing to strike fear in the hearts of opposing teams, so they can stack the box and dare them to pass the ball. Both Tua at Bama, and Trevor Lawrence at Clemson cause opposing teams to respect the pass, which allows the running game to be more effective. Clemson could likely win every single regular season game with Kelly Bryant or even Chase Brice as the starter. They can't beat Alabama or UGA with them though. The only chance Clemson has to do that rests squarely on the shoulders of number 16, and he had better have had enough reps to be up to the task. Kelly Bryant has given everything he has to the team...but the kind of talent Trevor Lawrence has is God given, and Kelly Bryant can not create that talent. Nobody can, and he will never become Deshaun Watson, no matter how hard he tries.

I know that it was purely a confidence booster when DW4 made the statement that KB was as good or better than he was, and I think that KB read to much into that statement. And that is one that I wish that DW4 hadn't made bc I think that he gave KB confidence that he should have had to work much harder for....

Re: TNET: Swinney announces change at quarterback


Sep 24, 2018, 11:48 AM

This is exactly what I was expecting ( and predicting) and I think it is the perfect approach from Dabo and Co. Kelly playing more early in the season to get Trevor some time to get the feel of things. Then shift the playing time to Trevor if he handles it well - which he has, and now we will see more and more of Trevor as the season goes on. I agree the next goal is to get him ready to play a complete game against a great defense. I just don’t know who on our schedule will provide that test...

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Kelly Bryant redshirt????


Sep 24, 2018, 12:04 PM

That's up to him....hopefully he stays and gives the team a good backup. In the end, you still have to account for possible injuries and such...we need a good #2 back there ready if needed. He'll still get used some, whether that be package calls or after we get big leads, not sure....the move is more likely to get faster and higher scoring starts. Fact is, we haven't started great in any of the 4 games played to date. But Trevor seems to move the ball better the first series he enters. It was only a matter of time.

Hopefully KB stays 2nd.

not being the starter? It's the same situation w/ Hurts at Alabama. Neither Bryant nor Hurts is going to play QB in the NFL. They don't have the passing skills. Might as well get the degree and go make some money in something else.

Inevitable Course Of Action. . . If K.B. honest w/self


Sep 24, 2018, 12:31 PM

IF KB is honest with himself and is aware of all the talented QB's who are strong on the passing side of the position; he would know this was coming. There is a chance he does not know that. I think TE would suit him in our offense. He "should know all the plays"! He should know all the protections! He is a big target and it would give him a leg up on any chance of making it to the NFL. B/C it was never going to be at QB.
Tajh Boyd didn't make the NFL to frame it in it's correct perspective!

In some ways, he is probably relieved!

Absolutely, he could red shirt the rest of the season, and come back next season at another position that could get him some looks from the NFL scouts!!!! That would be the smartest thing for him to do if he is thinking NFL, bc he would have never made it to the NFL as a pro QB!!!

i figured more playing time for TL was in the cards....had to be. but, i figured Dabo would give Kelly one more start and see what he could do. at the end of the day though, it's about wins and losses and Saban showed the nation that against UGA in the Natty. if i were Dabo, id put my arm around Kelly and tell him he wasnt going to be playing on Sundays at the QB position anyway and how about taking some reps at safety, reciever, etc. that worked out pretty well for braxton miller from ohio state!

Hopefully, that fact is not lost on any of the players who were more in the KB camp! Hopefully it hit home with all that a bunch of places can care less about you when your eligibility is used up. Not here!
