Best is the standard?! I didnt see that yesterday


Oct 25, 2020, 10:23 AM

Until almost the 4th quarter, the team was sleepwalking through the game. And so were the playcalling. TL looked like he was still in bed and the receivers looked nothing like a number 1 team.

ETN ran like he actually cared but some of the kazy blocking was so bad, he probably shouldn't have been out there.

Best is the standard??? Not yesterday it wasnt.
Might as well remove that from the locker room.

I hope the team takes being number 1 m ou re seriously next week, if they dont fall from the perch they clearly take for granted.

Thats twice this year i didn't see the fire to win it all. You can call some fans spoiled but it looked like a scrimmage yesterday. The leaders of this team, the real leaders, need to put a stop to this nonsense.

Refocus.

And the special teams like this will get you beat against bama or ohio st. Believe it. Terrible.

well....

I guess the only thing I'd say on this subject is Dabo's expectation to play to the "standard". I really think that is where our fans go off the tracks. I'm quite sure that todays film session will be filled with examples of failing to reach that standard. You identify and correct. Become better by learning from the mistakes. Our staff has ALWAYS done an outstanding job of righting the ship.
That being sad, as you stated, when you don't reach that standard and win by 20+? Maybe you just stay quiet and prepare for the fireworks show next week..

Yeah. The powerhouse that is liberty won by 17. We stunk it up. Sunshine and rainbows dont change that.

Don't really see it as "sunshine and rainbows"

more like is the gass half full or empty. If you listen closely to people not affiliated with Clemson they will tell you that playing to an extremely high level (especially under the professional level)is very very difficult to do week in and week out. At his very best Tiger Woods lapped the field yet the very next week might be 10 shots out of contention. Why is that?

It is disappointing to see them come out focused do a sharp drive and then start sleepwalking. I thought the haters on tv would be out in full force yesterday (not that I really care). Instead I heard a lot of - you're bound to have a game like that comments. It is just frustrating to see us do that against Syracuse given our past history. Yet that seems like what we often do.

I agree with that for sure. It is a tendency.

Given that the last 4 years against Syracuse have been closer or more difficult than your expectations, maybe you need to change your appreciation for them. They have mostly been able to avoid the big blowout at the hands of Clemson since 2016. Tip your cap and take at least a little satisfaction in the win instead of seeking personal satisfaction in payback for the loss in 2017 and the comeback win in 2018.

Lost to Liberty at home. I'm tipping nothing for struggling against that. It was generally weak. A few bright sport but pretty much just went through the motions

It was nice to comfortably win the game on a day like


Oct 25, 2020, 10:48 AM

yesterday. They seemed a little off, and not particularly motivated. The early success probably didn't help. Syracuse had a good plan, and played with emotion. But again, a comfortable win! The crowd can help some in normal years. But this year with the low numbers, spaced seating, and masks it's hard to build any crowd momentum. The heat yesterday certainly didn't help!

Since you must be new to football I will help you out. All teams have bad days as no one can be on top of their game every week. Just like you on your job having great performance days and others not so much. BTW in 2016 & 2018 we had a bad game in each of our championship seasons.

A standard is something you aspire to meet. Rarely will you actually meet a standard such as “best”, but that’s what you try to do. Some days you come close to that standard and some days you don’t.

I’m sure that every single day of your life you have been perfect and met the standard you have ate for yourself. Never had a bad day. Sure.

Not going to cater to running the team and coaches down for a bad day. Give Syracuse the credit they deserve for a good game plan and appreciate a comfortable victory on an off day. Curb your need to run everything down otherwise.

What I saw yesterday was one of those games where our defense had to bail us out. But as good as our "D" was yesterday I don't know if we would have pulled it out against Bama this season.We will know more about OSU in the coming weeks.
If you look at the landscape that is college football, right now there are 5 or 6 teams that seem to be head and shoulders above everybody else ,year in and year out.
Since the birth of the new CFP format ,only Clemson, Bama, and OSU seem to be the consistent teams. And we have beaten all 3 of them.
Yet at times we seem to still play down to the level of our competition, which I dare anybody to tell me is equal to anything Bama ,or OSU plays.
It's not, which is why I am hoping that FSU gets better, that Ga.Tech finds that offense ,that Miami quits being thugs and maybe Louisville finds another quarterback like Lamar Jackson.
We need the ACC to be good again,then maybe we will see more of Clemson playing to that standard we expect.

Best IS the standard?!


Oct 25, 2020, 12:24 PM

Do you hold yourself to the highest standards? If so, do you ever fall short? How many consecutive years would your peers and critics rate you in the top 2 or 3 of your profession? If you ever have fallen short, what do you do next?

I know how Clemson football answers all of these questions and I’m good with that.
