TNET: Tigers prep for Furman, Swinney excited to see QB competition play out

Tigers prep for Furman, Swinney excited to see QB competition play out

You know it is time for games to start when the scout team makes an appearance. The Clemson football team practiced for two hours Thursday in advance of next week’s season opener against Furman, and that meant that head coach Dabo Swinney and staff turned all of their attention to game prep.

Re: And there it is....."We will play more than one guy"....


Aug 23, 2018, 7:21 PM

So whoever starts, expect more than one to play. Dabo's words. Not mine.

We are truly blessed at QB right now. We can win with any of the 3.

Screw Calford.


We were always going to play more than one guy


Aug 23, 2018, 7:23 PM

The question is which one goes out first.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.


If THATS the question, it’s a stupid one.


Aug 23, 2018, 7:38 PM

KB goes out first. No way anyone asks that question with a straight face.

Actually...

About half of us have been asking that question with a straight face since the Spring Game. I don't think it's a stupid question either.

I'm looking forward to the Furman game and I'll be paying close attention to the starters at QB, RB, RB and TE on offense, and the starters at CB for defense. I think there are some questions there about who will start.

The good news for all of us is that the depth chart comes out on Monday and then we're going to see a football game on Saturday. The KB vs. TL debate will be over during the Texas A&M game. We could beat Furman with Batson, but we're not going into Kyle Field without our best players at each position. I would like nothing more than to see KB come out and play lights out. He's certainly capable of it. And there is no doubt he's more advanced in his understanding of the offense than the other QBs. However, if he's not sharp on game days, then I suspect he'll be holding a clipboard fairly quickly.

No disrespect to you personally, but it is a silly question.


Aug 23, 2018, 9:53 PM

question. I can't imagine how anyone who follows football, our coaching staff and this QB situation could think there is even a small chance, at this point, that KB will not be the starter for the Furman game.

0% chance of anything else... unless he's injured.

Re: No disrespect to you personally, but it is a silly question.

There are varying opinions (key word there).

1) KB will start based on the interviews given by the coaches on KB's performance over the summer. And, he's the returning starting. And, he has more game experience and knowledge of the system. I think that's a valid opinion with strong supporting points.


2) TL will start because KB struggled last year throwing in the same zipcode as wide open receivers. And, TL looked MUCH better in the Spring Game. And, like it or not, there's validity in comparing the KB/TL competition to Stoudt/Watson. In hindsight, Watson should've started in Game 1 of his Freshman year. He was the best QB as soon as he walked on campus. The same can be said for TL.


I totally 'get' both points of view. It's been a long off-season and the QB competition has created a fun discussion.

I'm in that second bucket. What I've seen leaves no doubt in my mind that TL is the best QB. I haven't seen any of the practices. And, per the coaches, KB is Practice All-American. I really, really hope that he's improved and can get the ball downfield with consistency and throw it faster out to the flats. Because unless we have a passing threat, defenses will once again stack the box, pin their ears back and shut us down.

If K.B. doesn't start against Furman, I'll buy everyone in Death Valley a $2 hot dog

So what you are saying is this, if KB don't start, you intend to poison everyone in DV with the now cheaper Hot Dogs. That's a SH1TTY attitude to have when things don't go your way;);)

We will empty the benches during the fourth quarter after the three-quarter beat-down we put on whichever team was unfortunate enough to play us.

We always play three against So Con teams

hopefully meaningful reps

2024 purple level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I believe Trevor won the QB competition and he and Kelly B


Aug 23, 2018, 11:47 PM

Will be co-starters at QB. Dabo will flip a coin or let a Kelly start because of his seniority but both will be co-starters until one separates from the other. This also makes Texas A&M prepare for both of them. Chase will be number 2 and Ben will be 3rd string QB.

They will play this way until one of them really separates from the other about game 4-5 but both will see playing time period.

Just my opinion and I believe Trevor will separate as the dominate QB before our bye week.

Go Tigers!

Dabo has said often he would play more than one QB. So it's set now.

Agree... 50/50 w KB & TL with KB getting the nod until or if TL shows obvious separation. Either way trust coaches to make the right moves. Let’s enjoy the show. Boys it’s gonna be grand. Spot the rock. Go Tigers
