C’mon … no team in the country rushes for two yards on first down better than Clemson. Thank goodness for the defense. Maybe, just maybe, the bye week produces some worthwhile self-scouting and soul-searching for this offense. I’m ready to roll the dice with Taisun. Could it be any worse?

Yeah it could be worse. As a team we figured out how to win. Granted 85% of that was the defense but we won. This season is just going to be more like life prior to DW4. We are not great but we do give 110%. GO TIGERS

Sorry but you're making a false assessment. DJ has not improved. His percentage this week was just as bad as last week and the only reason that didn't look so bad is because they ran 11 more rushing plays then last week.
Pitt is in 2 weeks and if they only need to score 20 on the Tigers they may well do it.
DJ is playing like a 190lb freshman, well under his talent level. And no one seems to be able to correct his thinking on the field or off the field. His receivers don't have confidence in him which is one of the reasons they're dropping his balls or can't catch the underthrown or overthrown ones. It's as if he doesn't work out with his wide receivers enough so that there's a comfort level. Who knows but we're not seeing a camaraderie that we would expect especially at Clemson.
The only reason Clemson is sitting at 3-2 and not 1-4 is a defense that has kept them in games longer than the offense has a right to be in. Dabo isn't making the hard calls, looking to blame refs, outsiders, bandwagon fans, etc for what is clearly a performance issue in the QB department coupled with a stale offensive playbook.
When GT and BC lost it was dumb luck for the Tigers. When NC beat the Tigers it wasn't luck, it was plainly outscoring a weak offense.
DJs best move is to sit himself for 1 game if Dabo's not willing to do it. Otherwise he needs to hit the portal because long term he's no good if he can't inspire the rest of the team. .

I agree and have said as much for several weeks. I worked for a college president who hired the wrong VP of Instruction. But he wouldn't admit it, even though the guy had become the laughing stock of the entire state. He just could not admit that he had made a mistake, one that everyone advised him against making. Reminds me of Dabo every single day. Who put the blinders over his eyes? He saw it when Bryant couldn't perform and put Trevor in. Where is that guy? Someone in Clemson, please go find him.

The defense saved our bacon again even though we can't seem to cover TEs and WRs some times . Kobe Pace was great tonight which gave us a chance to win. I just can't believe DJ and the receivers can't get on the same page consistently . It looks like their never practice together . If we don't get better passing the ball downfield the Pitt game could be embarrassing . Go Tigers keep fighting !
