Is it Dabo? Or Morris? Or Venables?

Folks, it is not Dabo's fault or Morris's fault or Venables's fault that we lost to USuc. We lost because our team did not have a high enough caliber of competition throughout the season. We just weren't ready for the game.
We did not lose because the Coots are so good. Actually they are not much better than average in the SEC.
We have to do anything and everything we can to get into the SEC. As long as we continue to have to play so many meediocre teams in the ACC we will be subject to getting beat at the end of the season by USuc.

Let's drop this SEC foolishness.

Clemson did not lose because of the ACC. And we are never going to the SEC. The fact is we lost because our defense can't stop running water. It would have been just as bad in the SEC as the ACC. Being in the SEC has not made Kentucky a winner, and it will not, in the short run help us. The SEC advantage is financial ONLY. Long term that will have an effect on recruiting, facilities, and coaches. But short run it is extraneous.

Aside from FSU, was there any other games this year where our starters played the entire game?
Sure it's great and absolutely necessary to develop younger players but when we consistently play teams of much lower talent, there is no way to build stamina.
Our defense just worn out in the second have.
Imagine what the spreads would have been if we played our starters on both sides of the ball all season.
You can't improve unless your constantly challanged.

for one you saw how an elite level player(Clowney) can take over a game and make a huge difference in the outcome. Second, the D backfield is not good...shocker right...the players just aren't there. Third, Morris was unable to make adjustments for what they were doing.
I'm sick of all this the ACC is weak that's why they lost crap. The above mentioned is why they lost...not because they played Duke and Wake Forest.

I disagree with the argument Clemson didn't play enough

quality teams this season to beat Carolina. That's crap. Look at FSU back in the 90s. The joke then was that FSU stayed atop the polls by beating up its weak ACC sisters; however, when it came to big games against OOC teams they won those, too. Remember, they beat VT in 99 in the National Championship. Our problem is a mediocre defense combined with an offense that depends on uptempo, gimmick plays to make up for its lack of aggression.

Yep, and look what WE do when WE get a chance to play ranked OOC teams.
Forget the 90s, look what FSU has done lately.
Why is it they get no respect today? Couldn't have anything to do with the fact they play GT next week for the ACC Title after GT got annilated by the team that wil play for the SEC Title.
Look I love CU. I think our coaches are doing a good job but players develop when they are challanged and they improve with adversity. We played 2 games this year to ranked teams and lost both, yet we are 10-2. Who did we beat that was a quality win?
Excluding the 2 SEC games, we put up over 28 points in every game, and averaged 46.5 pts...most of which were acquired by early in the 3rd period.
