Two comments. First, I’m pretty sure that afternoon sky is a deep shade of orange, not red. Second, I also noticed the Louisville players and their fans focused on the big screen as Batson’s truly inspirational video played. Priceless,

And who wouldn't want to read another awesome David Hood article. Your reporting also can be added to the things that make Clemson special. Thanks again David, your articles always find away to dig into my heart and stir those wonderful memories of the times I've had at Clemson. Great job!

David, SCSU Bulldog alum here. Went to first Tiger game

in 1977 when Montana brought the Domers back late to beat us.....been a Tiger ever since. Wanted to go to Clemson but was blessed to get a partial music scholly to SCSU and was blessed to be on the Marching 101 as a snare drummer and loved every minute of it. In my dorm room I had a Bulldog and Paw flag and will be a Tiger fan til I die. The smells, the scenery, the passion, all got into me, and though I am not an alum, this SCSU Bulldog has garnet and blue and orange and purple blood all up in me. There is nothing like Fall in Tigertown and you captured that perfectly in this writing. Bulldog and Tiger for life.

This also always brings a sadness or melocoly if you will. We waited so long, hung on to every word from coaches and pundits fir the season to start, and now here we are with possible 6/7 games left. This will pass so fast and I intend to enjoy every game and every release from our athletics/marketing Dept. Go Tigers

Watch out David, there are a few here that's not going to like what you're saying about us being better off at QB right now than we were 4 games into the season. I say watch out bc I made the very same statement after Chase came in a few minutes before the half, and we are down 16-7 at half time. We come back out and offense sputters with Chase trying to get it going through most of the 3d Qtr and he puts together a drive that gets us close enough to make a field goal and the game is 16-10, defense gets an Int and Chase leads us back down and makes an awesome throw to Amari Rodgers in the end zone and we don't get what looks like a PI call, another FG and the game is 16-13 going into the 4th Qtr. To make a long story short, Cuse score a TD in the 4th Qrt and we are down by 10, 23-13, and Chase Brice leads his team back for a close win over Cuse. There was no Quit in Chase Brice, and he solidified his place on our team as a solid back up QB... That day, and that gutsy come back win with Chase leading our team is when I felt we were better off at the QB position than we had been before KB quit. When KB quit, the cream rose to the top where our QB's are concerned, and we are a solid team with our QB's!!!!

I agree wholeheartedly. I always pointed out that Bryant handcuffed the offense. I was called a coot for my point of view. I love Clemson as much as any fan. But, I am not a blind cheer leader. He was kinda easy to beat. There was a simple formula to beat him. Stack the box, dare him to throw. If your corners could hold coverage, KB would panic, and run. With a stacked box, he wouldn’t get far. He rarely read beyond read beyond second progression. When he scrambled, it was to run. Not keeping his eyes downfield. I posted game by game numbers of Lawrence vs Bryant. It wasn’t close. Lawrence’s QBR was more than 2:1. The offense just runs so much better with Lawrence in there. Now, on Chase Brice. Brice always has had the skill. He needed the confidence. Lawrence getting hurt against Syracuse was the best thing that could have happened. Brice got real game experience he severely needed. He learned he really can play on this level. Since that 4th quarter comeback, his QBR has tripled. He is running the offense almost perfectly. Kelly Bryant leaving was the best thing that happened to Clemson football this season. I hate it for KB. He waited patiently, and had another superstar supplant him. He really showed he wasn’t all in by leaving. I think he could have contributed at another position. But, he was holding us back at QB. He could have been a great Tight End, or wide receiver. Imagine using him in a double pass. Where he only has one read. Throw it, or tuck it and run. Anyway, only blind cheerleaders couldn’t see how KB was holding the team back. It’s sad that if you see someone under performing and point it out, you can be called a coot for it. Some trolls are on here for sure. But, cut me. I bleed orange!!

Outstanding! We are so much better now than before. I appreciate KB contributions, but he was not the answer at all. This team now is functioning on all cylinders, and it is fun, fun, fun to be a Clemson Tiger fan. We are so blessed!!!!

It puts cold chills on you. It makes you want to put on a helmet, and hit someone! Championships are won when no one is watching. At 4am, when everyone else is sleeping, you’re in the weight room working out for two hours. All the extra work a individual puts in, as a team that makes a championship team. Just a powerful message. Batson can inspire. I see why he holds the position he does. I’m thankful we have him! I was born a Tiger in the 70’s. I thought the 80’s were the golden age of Clemson football. I was wrong. It’s right now. As Dabo says, the best is yet to come. I see great things, for many years to come! Go Tigers!!
