Their low star team will be only a 3 point dog to Clemson? Something seems wrong with that.

Every game will be a close game for us. All teams will play their best against us because they know we can't score and nothing will change on offense.

yep the way we have looked gives every team we play believe they can beat us. Before we used to be in their heads as a team they fear for how much would they lose by. Years to build a mojo that we have pushed away in a few games.

If Clemson whoops up on some Orangemen, we’ll be back in their heads. ACC competition fears the moment our offense starts to click, bc they know it’s a matter of time

I love your optimism; unfounded as it is.

I assume you've watched all of our games this year. We barely hung on to beat GT and BC at home. What makes you think our offense is going to magically explode in the Carrier Dome? Our offense has the potential to be better. I just have no faith that it will be. Close one, but our defense does just enough to win us this game.

Oh there is something wrong with it but it's not the thread starters assessment-

We showed some progress against BC (400+ yards of offense/better running game).
After a bye week, I would expect to see a bigger jump both in better play calling for this personnel & a little cleaner passes from DJ who is clearly putting the work in on trying to improve.
I know we still have a lot of injuries on the defensive side of the ball so I will go
Clemson 31
Cuse 16

I expect us to:
1- finish more drives with TDs versus FGs
2- Keep a few more drives alive converting 3rd downs than the BC game

This is the natural progression of an offense getting better on a bye week.
Now lets see if it happens.
If it doesnt, then there is a deeper problem that will not be fixed this season.

Syracuse beat us with a bunch of 3 stars a few years ago! I think our offense shows a few signs of life Friday night and the Tigers Win 27-13.

DJ throws for 250 yds and 2 TDs
Pace/Mafah combine for 175+ rushing yds

Still not the Offensive production we expect but a step in the right direction. I just don’t see this team putting up 40+ pts against any team(besides maybe UConn) this year. Hoping we can find some offensive balance the rest of the year, limit turnovers and become more efficient in the red zone!

The Tigers can’t allow Sean Tucker to have a crazy game rushing the ball. I have the utmost confidence in coach Venebles defense but my confidence in the offensive with el cinco at the helm is very very low. It is beyond embarrassing to see the passing game ranked near the bottom of college football but we are stuck with the coaches favorite so, hopefully he does finally improve!

This will be a tough game for our guys.

They beat us when we had Kelly Bryant at QB. That 2017 offense was better than this 2021 offense. And it's not particularly close. Unless the bye week completely altered life for the offense, I can't see us scoring a ton of points. They have a really good running game but their QB can't pass, and they don't have a legit threat at WR. It's going to be a close game. Our offense has shown nothing that tells me they'll be a lot better this week.
