USA article on Clemson

I think this is a good synopsis of where we are at this point:
"Clemson: Sloppy teams don’t usually become less sloppy when they’re not punished for it. And let’s just be totally honest about what we’ve seen from Clemson all season: They were overdue for a shock like this. If you’re going to commit 21 turnovers in 10 games (only 13 teams in the country have more), struggle in the red zone (Clemson is 94th nationally) and average 60 penalty yards a game (87th in the country), it’s a trend that will eventually catch up to you.
Leading 42-34 and on the doorstep of the end zone, Clemson had a chance to put the hammer down with fewer than six minutes remaining. But Watson, as has been his tendency this year, made a careless play and threw a horrific interception with 5:42 left, his second of the game when the Tigers were about to put points on the board. That’s just hard to overcome.
Then, when Clemson needed just 1 more yard to run out the clock, they got stuffed twice, handing the ball back to Pittsburgh with 58 seconds left before what would ultimately be the game-winning field goal. That’s not the stuff of championship teams, and frankly Clemson is lucky that it hasn’t paid a price for it before now. The question over the next month is whether it will serve as an epiphany or prove that Clemson was living on borrowed time all along."

Wonder where we stack up on penalty yards per game if you remove the Duane factor? The only game where he was not head ref where we really racked up penalties was FSU.

28th at 52.6 penalty yards per game (if including FCS SCST) and still 28th at 51.7 penalty yards per game (if including only FBS games).

It's al true. It also points out a major flaw of Dabo. He has done so much for the program but until he becomes more detailed oriented as opposed to big picture (W's abs L's) this team is going to continue to make dumb mistakes (penalties/turnovers).

Yeah, seems our L came almost directly after his statement saying (sure it was a bit in light and he didnt fully mean it but said it nonetheless) he wasn't going to worry about the turnovers anymore. ??

Lol Dabs isn't detailed oriented ?
He constantly is talking about execution and technique. He stressed doing the small things in a uncommon way.
You sound like a coot

Think you meant FLA/UGA/aTm/UK & Miss ST games

And what about the UMASS, Vandy, and East Carolina games. Bet you weren't so sure about those either?
Look forward to your response

This article says it all - it's exactly right about where...

we've been this season and where we are right now - we'd better have an epiphany like the writer says or we'll never make it to the playoffs.
