were the coaches not calling any deep ball plays, or was it a combo of all 3? Hoping for some insight from someone that was there, as you can't see the whole field or whats happening down field on TV.

they called a deep ball and dj had to throw it a tenth of a second before he got crushed by the unblocked linebacker. it would have been a td if the offensive line had done its job.

He threw it to the wrong spot.
If he threw it to the right spot, it was a touchdown.

It was abundantly clear....

that neither the Clemson coaches nor the ISU coaches respected DJ's ability to throw the ball. When you don't have confidence in your QB's passing ability, that really limits the play calling.

That is not abundantly clear!
It was abundantly clear that 3 safeties take that away.
Thus take what they give you. Screen passes.
And 10 to 15 out passes.

They didn't play 3-deep safties all night...

As the game progressed, ISU started crowding the line to stop the run leaving the middle of the field wide-a$$ open and we never attacked it.

ISU defense is designed to take away the deep ball! They are a very good defense!
Nobody was scared!
DJ can throw any pass he wants to and He is not scared!
Coaches know what plays to call and called the correct plays !
Do you think he should throw into the deep double or triple coverage.
I hope this helps!

A little of both. No separation looked like the main issue. I thought Ngata was going to play last night?

Nagata played but he was a non factor in the passing game.

There was one I think DJ threw to Sweeney when we got the unnecessary roughness call on our sideline. DJ should have thrown to 80 because he was running down the middle wide open. It was an easy 6.

They are a 500 team.
DJ can't hit a moving target, anyone who doesn't see that needs optical help.
True, coaches called correct calls and didn't ask DJ to hit a moving target.
DJ did throw into double coverage and after the ball bounced around a bit our guy came up with it, btw, the receiver was stationary and not moving.

as opposed to endlessly handing the ball off to Shipley up the middle? We won a 2nd rate bowl by the skin of our teeth because our offense was impotent and predictable Everyone watching knew exactly what plays we were going to run A W is always good but is this the "standard of excellence" we have heard preached by Dabo?

I have wondered the same thing all year. Is it the scheme, DJ, WR separation? Last night he had time to throw on most plays. No doubt there are problems with the O-line that contribute to the poor passing game. It seems when he does have time he can't find anywhere to throw it. It hasn't gotten any better.

Unfortunately DJ cannot read the field very well. He cannot find the open receiver and he missed badly no several out passes to running backs that were wide open.

Re: Have any TNet posters have ever tossed a football?

After reading all of the posts below, it seems likely that darn few of the TNet posters on this string have ever thrown a football.
I don't mean in serious competition. I mean throwing a football while having fun with the guys ... something other than tossing the football in between lawn chairs during a family cookout.
If you've ever tried to throw a football with a busted (or badly sprained) index finger, you'd know that DJ can't throw an accurate deep ball with his bad finger.
He had proven during the season (Louisville game, NC State game, Syracuse game, Pitt game ... there were others) when DJ threw beautiful and accurate long passes. Most of those beautiful early season long passes were dropped (J.Ross vs. Syracuse -and- W.Shipley vs. Pitt come to mind).
It was obvious that the play calling late in the season was designed to minimize DJ's requirement to throw a deep pass. That was due to his injury.

DJ has a disability.
Dec 30, 2021, 11:22 AM

It's pronounced and I'm surprised it's not more apparent. He is unable to suppose, gauge, calculate or even guess where a receiver is going to be at any time on any part of the field other than when a receiver is standing still.
In other words, he couldn't hit the broad side of a battle ship if it was moving any at all. The boy just can't do it. I don't know why because I can't imagine our coaches not having done all possible to correct his inability. I reason it must be in his head because he seems to throw to stationary receivers as well as anyone.
Our coaches must be aware because it seems that 99% of our completions last night were to receivers standing somewhere flatfooted.
I'm not criticizing #5. I know he's working and has worked to correct the problem but it was obvious from play calling that no one on our coaching staff believe he has overcome the issue to date.
That is why I'm saying that as soon as Cade gets a feel for the speed of college football he will become our starter. Further, I hope DJ can correct his problem but I do not see that happening. I know it will hurt him in an unimaginable way when he leaves Clemson.
