Why play it safe at 4 and 5

Nov 14, 2025, 11:31 PM

Louisville lost that game more than clemson won it with 3 missed kicks and terrible personal fouls and penalties in big moments. yes clemson dropped about 5 passes and looked like clown college on the goal line against Louisville.

but man on man after clemson got away with the punter tripping at own 25 yard line, dabo had to go in the conservative well one more time and give Louisville 1 more chance in case they wanted to win.

I thought it was especially pathetic he was hyping up the long snapper on 3rd and 6 with 1:24 on 3rd down, in other words he wasnt even trying to pick up a first down, weak.

Good thing you are not a coach!
And at this point just shut up or go elsewhere.
I am tired of hearing you gripe and complain and run the team and the coach down!

They said FSU beat themselves with 4 dropped passes last week. We had 5 this week but aren’t saying the same thing about us. Not saying Clemson tried to beat themselves like they were with FSU or Louisville.

Louisville lost and Clemson won. None of this "X lost it more" like come on...all a part of the game and you either win or lose.

And I don't think it was bad of Dabo to gut check the long snapper. Dude skipped a ball to the punter that should have given the game away. I got no problem with a coach basically calling on him to not F up once more because we need him to really focus with the game coming to the wire.

As for play calling, absolutely. FWIW that TE screen was a great call on the prior drive and that drop was almost backbreaking. The last drive though UGH. Somebody please tell Cade to stop trying to run it. HB toss or something just stop giving him an RPO on 3rd and long.
