Re: Does anyone here think Clemson will lose? And if so, why?

Oh St is talented and well coached. I expect D to mix some man coverage with their good DBs, maybe put a spy on DW, and mix in some of the D Pitt used against us (and I believe VT gave some of the same looks.) Perhaps they slow us down.

If JT Barrett is in and they're running game gets going, their O can be explosive. Brent will have to have these guys disciplined and focused, which is usually the case.

Lastly, can we limit TOs, esp in the red zone.

This will be a good game. I get the feeling folks on tnet are banking on a NCG spot, but this Oh St team will be a tall task.. they are #3 in the country for a reason. I'm pulling for a Tiger victory, but its a 1 game season with a huge test ahead. Go Tigers!!

My least orange-colored thoughts on the game

I understand the OP. You can be a true fan and believe we are not the best team on the field/court at times.

That said, I believe the 2016 Clemson Football Team to be talented enough to win any remaining game that we might have, regardless of opponent. It is not merely my desires, but I really believe this intellectually (head) and emotionally (heart). Far from a cliche that most teams throw around, I think that Clemson is actually the only team that can beat Clemson.

This does not take anything away from OSU or Bama, if we end up facing them. The reality is that we may lose the Fiesta Bowl. If that happens, it will not be because OSU was lucky or bad refs. A good team can beat a good team on any given day. OSU is a good team. If they outplay or outcoach Clemson, we will lose.

"A" game vs. "A" game, however, will produce a Clemson win.
