Validation
Saturday’s noon kickoff at Georgia Tech is about more than just another win, it’s about a prime bowl slot and it’s about winning in a place that has seen its share of Clemson heartbreak. But it’s also about validation. Full Story » |

Pretty well thought out, and pretty well said. You are right. I want us to come out swinging on Saturday and to play a 60 minute game wide open. A beat down in Atlanta over GT will make a pretty good statement, and a follow up biddy stomping at the end will finish the job for the regular season. I hope we make a statement!

This game, much like last Thursday, comes down to coaching. Let's face it, it is not easy getting up for a Thursday night game in front of the massive crowd in Winston-Salem. Conversely, our players have nary a one seen the heartbreak that we, the fans have experienced going to Atlanta for the chop block party. The bell tolls for our coaches to stoke the fire in this campaign. Fight Tigers, fight tigers, fight, fight, fight!!! And please ACC, leave Rhoads and Cherry at home...

We win if we protect the football and stop the better share of their 3rd down attempts (they lead CFB in 3rd Down %) . I believe Watson is a difference that they cannot defend , and I also believe that our running game is getting better each week.

Well said Mr. Hood-Steele! If that doesn't get your BP up you don't desrve a pulse! It's no secret they're going to run the ball...stack be box and trust Alexander. If we pull Peters out on an island their vaunted offense will indeed suck! See what I did there? Am I doowen it rite?

This team has had to fight tooth and nail for everything they've gotten this season. At the end of the day, this game will be all about who wants it more. Go prove how much you're willing to fight, Tigers.

Mickey's right, for this season to be considered anywhere

near a success, we MUST win out. Beat the Bees and beat the Coots, make it to the Orange Bowl and look good there. If we match up with the first SEC team out of the four team playoffs, we absolutely cannot get blown out or pushed around. I really dont want to face Bama. that is a bad matchup for this Tiger team. Notre Dame would be a good matchup for us.

Disagree, now Alabama is a good match-up - see what

Johnny FB did to them a couple of years ago, Watson could do the same. However, I would rather have a good opponent from say the Big 12 just to have more national coverage!

"They don't care, we do"

That's what PI$$ES me off about losing to these nerds! They've never cared as much as we do, yet they have gotten the best of us more often than not throughout history. They only fill up their stadium once a year, and that's either us or UGA. Most of their fan base could care less about the other 10+ games. BEAT THE NERDS!

I have a very unsettling feeling that our Orange Bowl chances are fixing to flame out.

I think Miami is gonna knock off FSU Saturday. Hopefully I'm wrong, and they use the fact a one loss Oregon jumped them as motivation and pick it up a notch. Play like they have the last two, three weeks, and they'll lose Saturday

No....FSU will find a way to come out on top. They are the luckiest team in the country right now. They will win out. We have to do the same. Beat the BEES and then BEAT THE COOTS!!!!!

It sure would be great to see FSU lose to Miami. Correct.me if.I'M wrong, but don't they have BC and the.Gators left also? Would be nice to see them lose to BC also (can't remember if they have played them). 2 ACC losses and.here we.go to play Duke for Conference.Championship. What a way to end the season. Got to win the rest one game at a time. GO TIGERS!!

It is a big game but shouldn't be a tombstone game in my humble opinion. Can't waste a tombstone on a team that lost to the mighty Tar Heels. GT defense is weak.

Thanks so much for your insight into Clemson football... all too often, your analyses are spot-on. I just find myself nodding in agreement when I read your articles. I have been attending Clemson football games for 60 years-- since 1954-- and I can truly say that "my blood runneth orange." I can't tell you how many times I have read your articles and thought, "...I hope the coaching staff is reading this." Keep up the good work, and congratulations on your marriage... I would be remiss if I didn't say, "you out-kicked your coverage on that one!"
