Im trying to stay humble

But at this point, I find our team way better than that team https://www.tigernet.com/clemson-forum/message/re-oregon-35375098#35375098 And look at the replies (point of this post) Message was edited by: ROYBus10®

UGA made the offensive adjustments at halftime and opened up Carson Beck. We tested your secondary late in the 2nd quarter and it obviously worked. There were no CLemson adjustments "on the fly" after that. What was Dabo's game plan? No one really knows...except to keep the game close for as long as he could with a quick/short passing game and to pray for turnovers. Cade only averaged 4.9 yards per pass and he only had one completion over 20 yards all day long. 2 first downs in the first half.

CLemson's defensive talent stayed alive for the 1st quarter and a half, but depth is the problem. The truly elite defensive teams can rotate 4-5* starters and backups. UGA scored points on 6 of their final 8 possessions.

I think you described it pretty well. Our game plan was focused on not beating ourselves and trying to keep it close heading into the 4th quarter, similar to the last time we played. We were more ball control focused but we couldn't get the run game going against your DL and our receivers got very little separation and we simply couldn't find any success on offense based on what we had prepared for. I do think our defense played pretty well, particularly in the 1H, but your 2H adjustments were very good and our D wore down a bit as the game played out.

I do believe you did us a huge favor by exposing our weaknesses. It forced us to open up our personnel and offense, and give some younger guys a chance to prove themselves. Depth is an issue this year that we can't really fix on the fly, so all we can do right now is play some guys who aren't ready and try and get them up to speed as the season wears on.

As I mentioned previously, I'm not quite sure how good we are but we've done what we needed to do up to now, and if we continue to build momentum as our schedule improves, we have the opportunity to peak at the right time and perhaps win a conference championship and make a playoff run.
