The Horns almost beat Georgia. We got blown out in the second half against the Dawgs. Texas is bigger, stronger, faster. Hope the Tigers can pull off the upset, but I doubt it.

Notre Dame is a joke, they should be left out for their conference stance alone. They have a chance to advance because for some reason Indiana who beat absolutely nobody is also inexplicably in. UGA by far has the easiest path on the lower half of the bracket dodging basically all the good teams save maybe Penn State

Yeah, this was my least favorite likely match up. ND or PSU was what I wanted. At least Ewers not likely to gash us running.

I think this was just talking about QB running which isn’t Ewers reputation. That said, I bet Sark uses Manning for some series to exploit this weakness.

Don't post anything positive about the Clemson QBs that's frowned upon here.
You can be passive aggressive though like Cades shown growth he only misses 10 Tds a game now instead of 20.
Really am tired of how this fan base hates on players that are playing good ball. That's when I have to remind myself most people are comparing this to video games.
Dude has turned it over I think 5 times all year and scored what 40 tds?

Big Bad Texas would like to have several of our players on their first team. Look no further than their starting safety who was passed over on our depth chart. On any given day anything can happen. Our Tigers can hold their own if they play up to potential.

My God, he’s starting on a defense much, much better than ours and leads them in interceptions.
Didn’t we play him out of position a bunch?
Anyway, he would start this year. Finally, guess what, he can tackle.

He got beat constantly. Overrated. Maybe to prevent injury to get his payday. But he wasn’t playing well at the end for us. And he should be suspended after that hit.

I think Clemson’s D-line matches up well with Texas O-line. Also, Ewers is not a dual threat QB. That’s a huge factor. If the D-line can get to him Clemson is in good shape.
Riley has to utilize Wesco, Moore, Williams & Briningstool properly. That’s a deadly receiving corps. Better than UGA’s.

On paper yes. If Clemson plays up to their potential with a few breaks they can win. Playing with house money just let it go. Can't wait.

I agree! They will have to play 4 quarters on offense to win, and the D will need to mix it up a little more…. As you said, playing with house money so reach into the playbook a few times…. Regardless, nice W this week, but if the coaches are up to it, these guys can win again!

Texas hasn’t seen the kind of bubble screens we do and will throw them completely off and have their defense on their heels.
On a serious note, I just hope we represent well and keep it close. I doubt we beat Taxes too. I only hope that Dabo takes a good look at his staff offseason. This does not include Reed,Eason, Rumph, or Matt Luke.

I don't see us beating Texas either BUT I also didn't think we'd beat USC or SMU and we beat SMU and should have beat USC. Also, Texas doesn't really have a running or mobile QB (unless they play Manning) which seems to be what we actually struggle with. So in short, I actually think we have a chance.

Texas is a very good team. But they got out-physicaled twice against Georgia.
Clemson has athletes that can approximate what Georgia showed against Texas. You guys just need to not get rattled in that environment in Austin. If Cade can keep his composure, I think Clemson will give Texas fits.
This is the CFP. Anything can (and likely will) happen.
There are no great teams this year. FGS, Notre Dame is in the thing, and they lost to Northern Illinois...

As I've posted elsewhere on here, my gf is a huge Texas fan, I've watched every game of theirs this season and saw one front and center in person (Vandy). With Ewers at QB, we're about exactly evenly matched (IMO). Arch adds another dimension, I'd be more worried about that, but Sark is stubborn (and reminds me of Dabo in a way) with how he's handling their qb thing. Anyway, I think it's a great matchup - very intrigued to see this one, we can absolutely do it if we show up. QE is good for 2-3 turnovers a game.

Clemson had a knack of scoring many points in 1st quarters this year, and the 1st half for that matter. If we can jump on them early, we have a great shot. Some interceptions and forced fumble recoveries will be in tall order. BYOG! Go Tigers!

They haven’t beaten a current top 25 team all year.
Are they really more talented than we are? We were ranked the #5 most talented team this year at the start of the season. I don’t know where they ranked, but it couldn’t have been much higher than we were.
My biggest concern is our coaching, but Dabo has coached a lot of these games and Sarkisian has not. At least not as the head coach.

Cade has played in that stadium in High School Championship games.
I still want to know how Sark let Saban know about our kickoff coverage gap in 2015. Was he an unofficial (is that legal) analyst in the booth for that game? Electronic communication was not allowed on the sidelines. Did he happen to call Saban's cell at halftime and Nick picked up? He wasn't hired until Sept 2016 from what I found.

I would argue the jury is still out on Texas (and PSU for that matter). Their best win was against Texas A&M. I feel they got overranked by beating Michigan and Oklahoma early in the year when those schools were assumed to be like last years versions of those teams.
I am good with going to Texas though. A December game at Penn St., Notre Dame, or Ohio St. for a Clemson team that is typically not used to playing in potentially frigid weather would not be beneficial for us. Memories of playing at Notre Dame the past two visits come to mind. At least playing Texas, if it's cold, then they do not get that much of a benefit relative to us.

We are likely to take a shelling but perhaps that one in a hundred opportunity makes an appearance. Our D will need to bring pressure from every direction and Mafah cannot be part of the plan unless healthy.

1. Out FG kicker is outstainding
2. Our WRs are fantastic including Mafah who has very good hands and should be almost 100% come 21st of Dec.
3. TX starting QB is out and though their 2nd string guy could start at most other schools he doesn't have anyone behind him which will settle his running game down a bit.
4. We have Dabo
5. Clemson is on a roll...
