But I just don’t have any faith in Cade or the offense. Who can make me believe? In Dabo I trust but can we really do it?

Expect the worst, but prepare for the best. Just keep rooting as much as I can.... Which gets tougher with these newer days of pro college sport.
We've played David before, specifically ranked behind the leg humpers

You wanna go there? Let’s do it. By calling me a coot you probably began watching Clemson the day after the ND game in 2015. You probably found your love for Clemson because you wanted something to cheer for that won. After winning the natty you most likely ran to post of Facebook cause you had no real clemson fans to hug and celebrate with. You most likely don’t know what the phrase “ Thursday night at Wake” means or “ Thunder and lightning”…. And do you know who Charlie Whitehurst is?
No I am not a copy but what about you?

I've been rooting for Clemson since you were soiling your diapers clown. Lmao you mention Whitehurst let's go back about 30 years prior coot. You probably became a baseball and basketball fan this year too🤣🤣🤣

Clemson has to strike early and often to beat uga put pressure on them early.Hate our playcall in big games each drive we just give a down up with stupid playcall.Cade plays better in a 2minute offense.

Our OC has not shown us ANYTHING yet! He was not vetted properly-obviously. We need to see a MUCH better offense this year or some heads will roll. I don't think Dabo will tolerate this lack of production much longer.

not properly vetted? He won to Broyles Award as the highest rated offensive coordinator.
How much more vetted could one be?

In all fairness, he couldn't wave a magic wand and make us suddenly have an OL that could actually open hole, protect the QB who spent the year running for his life, nor could he miraculously turn a depleted receiver room into frisbee catching dogs. Like you, I want to see a huge turnaround this year, and I hope we see that, but it will take a lot of magic to make that happen. Lets hope there is a "magic wand" at hand, and we all see what we want to see. Go Tigers!

Don’t get your hopes up. There’s a lot of people on here that get their feelings hurt if you call it like you see it. I expect a beat down that compares to the Georgia/ FSU game. It’s going to be ugly folks. Klubnik needs to get out of town z dudes not a D1 QB and never will be.

I wouldn't expect anything resembling the beating Georgia gave FSU. But...if Clemson's oline isn't improved and CK continues to make huge mistakes, there's the potential it gets ugly.

I've posted before that I think with an improved offense, which includes CK not making catastrophic mistakes, Clemson has the defense to keep it close for a half or three quarters. In the end, I think UGA has the advantage at most every position group. I think the depth eventually shows up and the Dawgs win something like 34-17, in a game that is closer than the score might indicate. I also think Kirby is going to field a focused team, looking to make a statement against a big-time opponent. If Clemson can't force some turnovers and CK struggles, this one may get sideways for the Tigers.

I've always been of the belief that practice makes perfect. We will definitely be better and more consistent on offense this year. The parts are in place.

I hope you are right, and I think a key will be staying healthy and getting some decent quality depth. Wouldn't it be nice to freely rotate and see no drop off in performance? Just saying!

Perfect practice makes perfect. Practice only makes you as good as the quality of the practice. I think we are still lacking in position coaching, especially on O and special teams.

Any team in any sport can lose on any given day. Fumbles on the one yard line returned 99 yards for TDs. Baseball could have 27 line drives directly at fielders. Basketball can have 5 starters hit only 20 % of their shots. Teams find ways to beat themselves even when they have more talent - if you don't believe that can happen, no need to watch sports.

of mistakes usually wins. That is the one area Cade MUST improve in, is Ball Security. We cannot give the Dawgs easy points off turnovers. And, we need our defense to provide us a turnover or ten.

Who predicted that Clemson would beat the Greatest Alabama team ever by 28 in the 2018 Championship game? No one ever!! But it happened!! Big plays & mistakes will determine the victor. we'll just have to wait & see.

Expect the worst; hope for the best.
At the end of the day, it is just a game which does not affect my eternal salvation nor severely impact my daily life beyond a week or two. I can't let my life be controlled by 18-22 year olds who I don't even know personally.

have enough to actually win this game.
Smart, disciplined, awareness, and mental preparation will be the keys to success.
Clemson will have to play the near perfect game to win, or Georgia will have to be very undisciplined and turn the ball over and our Tigers take advantage.
Exciting game to start season. A lot has to go right, but I at the very least want to see some fight in our guys for 4 quarters playing physical football. Win or lose this can be a great team, but a win would be monumental for our underdog team.
Go Tigers!!

Clemson could win, particularly if the defense goes off and creates a few scores and UGA’s offense stumbles.
I don’t think Cade will be the x-factor in a win, he may be in the x-factor in a loss if he had a few bad mistake.
I haven’t seen evidence that Cade is actually improved from last year beyond “hope” but he can prove us wrong!

Clemson's upsets of Georgia in 1977, 1979 and 1981 marked the resurgence of the Tiger program and our '81 Championship! This is a huge opportunity for us to make a statement.

Just my opinion at this moment
We paly tough the forst half...keep it close...halftime score 10-3
uGA scores on their forst possession of the 2nd hapf and we go 3 and out and score is 17-3...
We go back and forth a few possession or two and then they drive and score another td to make it 24-3
We come back with a drive of our own and score to make it 24-10...we stop them on d and get all pumped about a possible td but our offense/special teams has a blunder and they get a short field and score to make it 31-10...
We score late to make the final 31-17...we play decent but were never really a threat to win!!!
