What are you trying to say that hasn’t already been said. Injuries and players not playing to their expectations are disappointing.

The WR drops is something I am not accustomed to seeing.

I'm not accustomed to a QB missing easy throws. Layups as Dabo calls them. I'm not accustomed to a QB that can't/won't run. I'm not accustomed to the offense having to be dumbed down so as to give tge QB one read. And if that receiver isn't open then throw the ball out of bounds. No second option. No DJ running and picking up an easy 5-6 yards. Opposing teams poor defenses look great and have top ten type numbers against our offense not because they are great but because our plays are so basic. It's been like this all year. Opposing teams strategy is too stop the run with six in the box and force DJ to vear you with his arm. That scheme works wonderfully most of the time. Thanks to our defense we only have three losses.
Put the blame where the blame goes.

This is the most surprising to me. I mean, DJ isn’t playing

to a level we expected, fine. That’s one guy. But the lack of separation from receivers, the dropped balls, and the lack of blocking seems to be across the WRs. The whole unit seems to be sleep walking for much of this season. Truly puzzling. Even a couple of the interceptions seems to have been avoidable if the receivers had some urgency in disrupting it…I’m just not seeing it.

And lets make certain we fail to mention our Offensive Coordinator who was famous for saying "We need to score more points"!

We didn't have to... Could have settled for a FG in our blowout win of 40-7 instead of 44-7.
Hilarious how many here are sad we didn't kick a FG. I think THAT says a lot.

People aren’t upset that we didn’t kick the FG…

People are upset that we were in that situation to start with. We were inside the 5 yard line and they held us to a 3 point attempt.

I think the argument is that we put a trick play on film for Wake, SC, and ?.

We are a 2 trick pony and we used them up already?

Our greatest trick to fool the chit out of them will be when DJ throws right to the open receiver. Imagine their surprise and ours.

Seems your are willing to create fake drama in a quest to be unhappy. Guess you would preferred we lose so you could have a reason to be miserable

No drama needed. UConn is #110 in total defense against a weak schedule. They have 1 win on the year against an Ivy League school. They are terrible by any metric you choose. The Tigers struggled to run the ball again. That was 42 attempts for 129 yards with much of that coming late. I personally could not bear to watch the game knowing who would be on the field for the Tigers (depth building?). Keeping my fingers crossed that we can somehow eek out a win against the Gamecocks.

Having to kick the 1st FG was disappointing

But being in that position a 2nd time was just unbelievable.
A bad Clemson team should be able to just man up and score a TD against a very bad UCONN team when inside the 5.

We have struggled to run for years and it has become acute. If we cannot line up and run on Wake Forest then I don't think a D1 team exists where we can count on short yardage runs in obvious run situations. Thank goodness for the 347 yards passing against this overmatched group that hired a new coach this week. Not sure the recruits on hand or watching were overly impressed. Will take a miracle to have a top 10 class this year.

When Bobby Bowden was asked why Fl State didnt use all the trick plays they used to he said that only teams that arent very good or lack talent used trick plays because they couldnt get it done in regular ways When Fl State got better they quit using them Whats our excuse?
