Whos buying the hype, and whos not?

The hype for the Tigers is on high right now. I think this team has a chance to be really good. I think the Offense could be off the charts if Klubnik plays to expectations, however I have some concerns about the D. The Defense was not good last year…certainly not what we all expect from a Clemson D.
Total D - 69
Pass D - 54
Rush D - 85
Sacks - 37
Tackles for loss - 24
If the new DC can clean up the D, we should be in good shape, but I need to see it
Before anyone calls me a coot, I a certainly NOT, I grew up my in Central, Graduated D. W. Daniel High, and 2 Degrees from Clemson. I’d attach baby pics if I could find then wrapped in Tiger Paw blankets at Anderson Memorial, lol

Last second win against SMU that was destroyed by Penn State. Got ran over by Louisville. Got ran over by citadel running backs. Have to rely on DLs to FG block. Got receivers at RB.
I hope we win it all, but jfc at the hype.

Very fair question and I wish a lot of tnetters would respond, but I am sure everyone is afraid to give a thought for fear of future retribution. I will say I want to believe the hype but simply can’t until I see the product, and this year we don’t have to wait long since LSU is coming to town.I believe we should play in the ACC championship but that’s about it. If we win the ACC we go to the playoffs but probably a one and done. I hope I am wrong and we win it all this year. Go Tigers.

Buying hype, not buying having a few trophies at EOY yet.
I am confident we (on paper) will be better this season than last but unsure if it will be enough to win it all. So many things have to go right in 12-team scenario and I’m unsure if we are made of the stuff of champions…
But coach sure is.

Cade is not the key on offense, the O line is. A running back and a QB are only as good as the holes the line opens and the time the line gives for the throws.
As far as the defense, our players this year are much, much better and Coach Allen will get credit that needs a few years to be validated. Yes, the players are largely the same as last year but another year of experience will make all the difference from last season.

I really want the hype about Cade to be real, he played some really crap games last year, notably: entire game Louisville, 2nd half SMU and 1st half Texas. I gotta see it to buy it.

I am not convinced that we will be consistently dominant all season though.
I certainly think we are capable of being really good with this year’s roster, and our coaching will be better with the addition of Tom Allen. I am just not sure if Cade is that guy on the order of Deshaun and Trevor. He is the x-factor.

Agree! I think we shocked people with how we hung with Texas. But can’t shake the fact that we blew it with Louisville and the coots. Scary thing is, we lose a TON after next season. I feel like this is one of those years where I pray we win and go far because the next few years will be a rebuilding team.

Then Texas broke off a 70 yard run and they were back up two scores. That game was never in doubt after midway through the second quarter.

Just hope we can shake our first game jitters.... With all the time to game plan for LSU coming out of camp, how we have performed historically in the first game regardless if its UGA or App State is mind boggling.
I get first game jitters, but that should be gone by the second drive.
Times we come out really hot in games over the last few years is tempered by inconsistent play for the whole game.
Here's to coming out steady and consistent.

Read up on what Penn state fans had to say about tom Allen. They weren’t sad they were losing him is all I’m gonna say… talent can cover up a lot. They had plenty of it on D at Penn state last year. It covered things up for porkchop for a little while when he still had most of BVs players.

He didn’t recruit any of those players. They had elite talent all over the field on defense. About like how Clemson’s defense still looked good the year after BV left. I agree he will definitely be much better than Wes but we need to pump the brakes on thinking our team is gonna be the best team in the country this year.

I think we'll be better stats-wise, especially on defense, than last year however I think this will still end up being a 2 or 3 loss regular season. And watch it end up being a season where we beat the two SEC teams but lose two ACC games and miss the conference title thus probably missing playoff.

Cautiously optimistic, and growing in confidence.
I ran into a Texas fan on an LSU board breaking down our game against them. His opinion was no one came close to doing to their secondary what Cade and the WRs did, not even Ohio State.
I think Riley and Cade still have some head scratcher games, but there coming fewer and further between. Mafah getting hurt kind of derailed the train on offense and it took a while for us to adjust, but I think we did by the SMU game.
OL should be the best we’ve had years. Experienced vets, talented young guys. Best coach in the business. Expecting them to take the biggest jump of any group on the field. Cade and these WRs with great line play? We can compete with anyone.
Defense I’m not as sure about, but there’s first round talent at every level. There was too much talent to be as bad as they were. You can’t help but blame coaching and I think we solved that problem. Penn state had a loaded D and they weren’t terribly torn up to lose him, but the common thread I saw was that Allen might be the best second half coordinator in the country. Wes couldn't make adjustments to save his life.

I’m in wait and see mode. I feel we’re improved but I also remember all the hype before the Duke debacle and the 23 season. Hopefully Tom Allen comes in and fixes our D. But we still need to see Cade/Garrett put up some points against someone with a pulse. I’m amazed at the current level of hype, I feel like a lot is being made out of the second half of the Texas game. That being said the potential is there to compete this season for a natty. That’s more than most teams can say.

I fully believe in the hype. This defense is talented and finally has a coach that will push them. We had a soft defensive coach so our D was soft. That isn't the case now. We will be attacking on defense. The O should be good. I do worry a little about running the ball but I fully expect our D to be top 10 in most categories.

Gave up buying the hype after the Alabama opener in 2008. Got all hyped up to witness a game that was over after our first offensive play. Those who got hyped up before the opener against Duke didn't know we bought everything on their gift registry at Dillard's. The 2013 FSU beatdown at home when we were #3 was a definite hype buster. IMO the opener against UGA in Charlotte hurt the program tremendously and ruined DJU. The LSU game this year is extremely important. All the hype, recruiting momentum, and excitement will disappear if Clemson lays an egg. I'm optimistic about the game and believe we will win but Clemson's record in big games the last several seasons is not good.

Im buying the hype we should be a legit preseason top 10 type team. Im not buying the hype that we are the best team in the country and will be some kind of juggernaut next season. I could very easily see us having a very similar season this year as last year where we loose 3-4 games.
I'd love to see us run the table and have a season for the ages but the reality is that we were a top 15-20 type team last season and this season is gonna be almost the exact same team. Is that returning talent in and of itself gonna propel us to a championship? Its far from a sure thing.

Go back and watch the UGA and Louisville games and ask yourself do you buy the hype. Especially Louisville. I still can’t figure out what happened. They made us look like a Tommy Bowden team. Maybe it was Goodwin and terrible coaching. Can anyone explain that game?

The only explanation is we didn’t play well and got beat.
I’m hoping not only for good play, but consistent good play

Clemson had Louisville-like games even in the national championship seasons. They just had enough talent and coaching to pull out a win. Remember in 2016 they were a field goal away from losing to NC State at home. In 2018 they gave up 35 points and 600 yards to South Carolina at home.

Gonna base my expectations on results on the fieldnot hype

Ask me again in a month.
I feel good about things, but am always cautious with expectations. Should learn a lot week 1, but sadly it is a meaningless game in the scheme of things. At least we are playing at home, and the game is more important to our season than LSU’s; has virtually zero impact on their season.

I believe this team will be better than last yr. Experience in LOS both sides will win the games. How Amare Adams and others rotate the d line, will serve great to keep guys fresh. We have outstanding LB's return ing. WR is loaded. The games will be won on the LOS. I believe our coaching will get the BEST out of the talent available. Then we just pray injuries do not decimate our depth. GO TIGERS 💪🏽 ALL IN !!!!!!!

I'm optimistic that Coach Allen is improving our defense... greatly. I'm optimistic that Sellers will be contained - assuming he is still the QB late in the season.
I love our depth at WR and TE.
A seasoned DL and OL will be helpful.
All of the transfers will add depth and fill holes.
Need to stay healthy and have good game plans. Hoping we are a top 10 team and make the playoffs... and beyond.
Immediate goal is to beat LSU. Win the opener.

Hi All,
I’m optimistic but hope the hype isn’t a distraction. I think we will certainly be better. Two questions for me are: 1. How much can Tom Allen impact in year 1, and 2. Is offense balanced and does Cade take next step.
I agree with some points made earlier that wrong guys were in key games. Wesco vs ga and limited Sammy B in 4th quarter vs #####. Despite RB by committee, I think we are better there bc an injured Mafah in 2nd half was a liability.
I also think we’ll make big plays on D, but can we have consistent gap control and set edge?
I think we’ll go 11-1 or 10-2 at worst, but we stomp the #####.
Go tigers!

One game at a time...I believe in Clemson, but they have to prove the hype one game at a time. Our fellow fans that have bought into the hype are the people obessing about prognosticating about the Gamecocks,the ACC title, and playoff's. The Coots obession is always around because..well it's the Coots, but combined with the other two it's hype buy-in IMO. I don't see many of those, just fans that have high hopes for us to do well which is normal and upbeat fandom.

We had an analyst coaching our D ever since BV left for Oklahoma. Now that we have a hard nosed D coordinator, I feel things will be different. Our secondary may get burned a time or two each game but out line should be really good.
