Why is it that other teams


Oct 19, 2019, 1:48 PM

that are ranked in the top 5 are KILLING the teams that they are supposed to, yet here we are struggling and looking like a team playing in week 1? Look at Alabama, OSU, OU, LSU...their teams look complete. Our D is great, but the O is struggling and we will not beat any of these other teams playing like this.

My thoughts, someone (many someone's) has gotten complacent after whipping Bama last year and think that they will win by just showing up.

Those teams are not complete though Toph

They have the illusion of being complete because they are beating less complete teams.

Sit back, watch it unfold. We will be a complete team and roll people when it matters the most

I hope you're right man. I do agree, I made a bad statement about being complete teams. So I retract that, I guess I'm just envious of their offenses that show up and don't leave you questioning if they can score points or not.

Fact check...


Oct 19, 2019, 1:53 PM

Clemson scoring offense: 14th
Clemson Total offense: 12th
Clemson scoring defense: 6th
Clemson total defense: 3rd

Alabama scoring offense: 2nd
Alabama total offense 6th
Alabama scoring defense 14th
Alabama total defense: 36th

LSU scoring offense 1st
LSU total offense 2nd
LSU scoring defense: 39th
LSU total defense 25th

Oklahoma scoring offense: 3rd
Oklahoma total offense: 1st
Oklahoma scoring defense: 30th
Oklahoma total defense: 40th


So Clemson is more balanced that all these teams, but they're the only "incomplete" team of the bunch.

One thing is true no matter how much the game changes. Defense wins championships. I'll take our chances against any of these teams.

Notice you skipped Ohio State there. Why's that?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm still trying to watch the game...


Oct 19, 2019, 2:17 PM

Total offense 8th
Scoring offense: 4th
scoring defense: 2nd
total defense: 2nd


So we're the second most balanced team in the country. Last I checked you only had to be top four to make the playoffs. And, oh by the way for all the crap our schedule gets Ohio State's is far worse.

I agree, we aren’t dominating like we should/ could be. I do like that we are playing a ton players to prepare us for the post season. I just have the feeling that there’s not enough chemistry right now when we play a lot of players. Especially on O. Building depth is a good thing, but I’m afraid it’s going to slip up and bite us in the butt.

10000000% agree with this

Re: Why is it that other teams


Oct 19, 2019, 1:55 PM

Because we are getting everybody’s best shot. It’s like a race to see who can take out winning streak away from us and dethrone the champions. If you have any competitive bone/ spirit in your body, you’d understand that.

Also, the ACC isn’t as weak, less talented and unskilled as the pundits lead you to believe. It’s easy to see why people put so much into “weak/strong” conference when you constantly have “experts” cramming it down your throat!

How many of those teams have had the success we have


Oct 19, 2019, 2:00 PM

over the last few years?

The past doesn't matter TODAY versus Louisville


Oct 19, 2019, 2:03 PM

Just not getting the job done in any phase of the game....Defense is saving the day, but not dominant like we would like to see. Offense seems to have zero rhythm or direction.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Man it's amazing we're up by 14 with the ball


Oct 19, 2019, 2:04 PM

in a game where we aren't getting it done in ANY phase of the game.

2024 student level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg2008_ncaa_champ.jpgbadge-ringofhonor-clemsonpoker489.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We are up by two TDs halfway through the game


Oct 19, 2019, 2:07 PM [ in reply to The past doesn't matter TODAY versus Louisville ]

against a fringe top 25 team on the road. How many would we need to be winning by for you to not be complaining?

Because we just aren’t as good as those other teams. Pretty simple.
