Should be another good game and another Tiger win

I was in Raleigh for last years game. Y'all State fans really, really do want to win. I actually felt a bit sorry for the State fans at the end of last years game. Close again, but another Clemson win.
Tomorrow's game should be good. I think my Tigers have the better team. As long as we don't turn the ball over too many times it should be...close again, but another Clemson win.
CU you wolfies in Death Valley tomorrow afternoon!! BYOG

My guess is that the game could go one of two ways. Either Clemson starts out strong right out of the gate and ends up winning by 21+, or we start slow like we have in a few games this year and it ends up being a 7 point game. I think it will be one of the two extremes as opposed to a 10-20 point game.
We always have the ability to win a game by 3 TD's against most opponents if we start fast and score on our first couple drives, but given the way the last several games have gone, the game could end up being similar to most of our games.
I don't think it will be of the 56-41 variety like 2015 with both teams having good defense, but I do think we'll score 31-35 and NC State scores 24-28.
My prediction is good guys win 34-27.

Clemson wins and wins big , you’re receivers are average at best , your defense hasn’t ever been tested . your running back is garbage . 38-17 Clemson win

I personally think this game is a lot closer than others are saying. Very surprised by the point spread considering our history of close games. If we can play a smart, clean game, I feel like Finley and Co will hang with us into the 4th but our running game eventually wears down your defense. Clemson wins in a close one.

I don't believe State has the depth to hang with us for 3 quarters, much less 4. The first half may be a bit competitive.

I hope we cover the spread.
Also hoping our secondary steps up. That is possibly your only hope to keep it respectable - in a loss to us - if they can’t shut down Finley and your passing game.

You will come 5-0 and leave 5-1, and we will be 7-0 and continue knocking off the acc teams, beat the coots, and end our regular season 12-0, win ACC championship and go into the playoffs 13-0!!!

I think the Tigers will make another grand entrance into the stadium prior to the coin toss. It doesn't matter who wins the toss because Dabo has a guy on a laptop analyzing plays and providing realtime feedback to counteract anything you do. If you start going too fast for the guy on the laptop to keep up, Dabo will give Dr. Spede the high sign and Tiger Band will play something really loud to disrupt your signals. If that doesn't work, Dabo will give the head official the high sign and you'll get called for a false start or something. Sorry to have to tell you, but it's hopeless for NC State tomorrow.

For Clemson, this season is like the 2016 one. Natty or bust. Top to bottom, this is the strongest team the Tigers have fielded. Couple the player quality with the intangibles and NC State is going to have their rear end handed to them. DD all but called Dabo a cheater last year. Our defensive front four players, led my Wilkins, is on a 15 game undefeated mission. We have had this game circled since last year. This is our "no doubt" game this season. I am more worried about playing the Noles next week in Tallahassee. Safe travels to Clemson. I hope the rain holds off. Homecoming in the Valley is a special time. I am going to have a blast watching the game. You will be leaving the stadium early to get ahead of the traffic.

Bigger question. Do you fall out of the top 10 after a 14 point loss to the mighty pack

I suspect Dabo will forfeit the rest of the games this season, tender his resignation and lock the doors of the new football complex for good if we lose to Nancy State. Truth be known, that would probably be the right thing to do after such a debacle. But alas, no more time for fairy tales. Tigers win today 34 - 13. Wolf puppies amass lots of yards thru the air offensively but Clemson's defense will stiffen and you'll sputter in the Red Zone. Tigers will dominate both lines of scrimmage. A pounding running attack will quickly deplete the wolfies' defensive adrenalin . Once again, Clemson will play lots of guys, making sure they develop the depth needed for a playoff run. And you're guys will have a long ride home (again). Go Tigers!

I had to give you a Thumbs Up for your classy way of talking smack, as well as your creativity with that "mighty pack" phrase.
What exactly is a mighty pack? Is that like a fierce gaggle? A raging covey? A fearsome flock?

Clemson by 27. Actually, I think it will be a lot closer, but I made a 27 point spread bet with my father-in-law, who's a Gamecock just to make the game fun between us.

I think it will be close early and State may even jump out to a lead. But by the end of the first half Clemson will be in an apparent rhythm. The Tigers will be in control in the second half. The Tiger defense this year is not going to allow State to come back like in previous years and also special teams are playing better. There will be no 4th quarter nail-biting this year, just wolves crying.

Not well for the Wolfpack
Oct 20, 2018, 6:20 AM
|

NC State has a solid offense and good defense, however, Clemson has a defense that can wear down players in the trenches and stuff the run. Short passes will be successful but long scoring drives may not finish in the end zone for the Pack. Those points will not be enough to overcome a Clemson offense that will score on big chunk plays in the second half. It will be fun to watch the two quarterbacks but be aware of Kendrick running back kickoffs and of course Travis taking it to the house with vision and speed. Not enough weapons for NC State this year but keep the faith and welcome to Clemson.

I really hope you did not forget how the game ended last year.. with your trash fanbase spitting and throwing bottles at our players, fans.. and the referees. Its nothing new from your garbage program/ fanbase though.
