Did the Sporting News just rip the words out of my mouth on this issue?!

To hear a game called a trap game just makes me sick. There is no such thing as a trap game, a team either comes out and plays to the best of their ability, or they get lazy and get beat. Nothing resembling a trap under those circumstances!!!!

I'd table that game discussion - here is why:

Their Offense is losing 6 starters and 4,465 of their 6,229 yards gained last year - including their QB Evans. He should have stayed in school, but they need to find a replacement for him. They also lost all american type talented WRs Isaiah Ford and Bucky Hodges. Now they certainly could find replacements for those guys and they could be settled in by the time we play them. But we'll have to see

Their Defense line was gutted as well

They lost a lot on the line, but they'll be great at linebacker and good at secondary.

Well said...
here's my thing...most publications are just trying to create stories. And too many fans get upset about the slightest things. Like they're suppose to say.. "yea, Clemson is going just rip through every opponet this yr, no need to even play the games"
To me, the VT game is a respectable game with concern implacations. #21

We lost all of our offense too...still think we are much better. This trap game mess is dumb. The Tigers are gonna get every team's best shot this year. Including Kent and Citadel. Just gotta play football. I guess they gotta have something to right about.

And I'll be satisfied.
But if we lose one I'm calling for coaches heads.

I would say NCST is a bigger trap game. They're looking for revenge after what happened last year, they always play us tough, especially when they're at home, and we get them the week before Florida State.

Somebody forgot that VT's QB went early to the draft. He would have made a huge difference, but not now. VT is NOT a trap game IMO.
That said, I guess ALL of our games are trap games (save USUC who is not relevant).

I agree, all teams will give their best shot. Alabama faces that each time they play. It is a mindset to play the A game no matter the opponent.

Maybe that is part of the trap, they're not going to use a QB bc their's left early. I guess we will be setting a trap of our own with a total different style of QB!!!

If you think it may be a trap, then is it still a trap?

Fuentes is a great young coach and will give the Hokies an ACC Championship or two ...but they aren't there with Clemson yet . Especially without Evans . Tigers win . 31-17

Ill be sure to let our four returning OL starters, Cain, McCloud, Renfrow, Fuller, Feaster that they dont count.

Tiger D bigger, stronger, faster. I think that will be the difference. Clemson won't score much, but the Hokies will score even less.

They also lost their entire passing game, and I dont think there are 4 and 5 stars battling it out.

This might seem crazy, but I thought a trap was something that got you when you didnt see it coming. Not that I think VT is going to beat us, but they were in the ACC title game last year. Auburn, Louisville, FSU and VT should be out of the running for being a "trap game" Looking at the schedule those are the ones that get circled for me as our toughest tests. Those 4 and maybe NC State. The only potential trap game on our schedule is Ga Tech because of the triple option, but we get them off a bye week and Venebles owns them.

As Dabo consistently says week in, and week out, the next game is the most important game for our season. The next game opponent has an equal opportunity to hurt what we're striving to accomplish in our 12 game regular season. We can't win championships until we take care of those regular season games. For as long as Dabo is the HC of our Tiger FB team, I do not see any game we play as a trap game bc Dabo knows and understands that every opponent we play will do their best to beat us, and Dabo and his staff will do their best to have our guys prepared to win every game when they show up on our schedule. There won't be any trap games with Dabo knowing the intentions of every team we play. We have played in back to back NCGs and winning one of the two bc Dabo understands the meaning of being prepared!!!

VT is a good team with a proven coach, who gave us a great game in the ACC Championship. This is no trap game. It is a good game between two good teams. Should be fun to watch, but NC Tigers win a close one.

VT has good players and a good coach. They gave us a great game in the ACC Championship game. This is no trap game, it is two really good teams playing a very important game for their seasons. Clemson will win a close in a close game.
