So who is our toughest remaining game?

Unc could be undefeated when we play them. Louisville is much improved too.

Yeah I just don’t see how that could happen to any team.

And anyone who thinks it would happen to Dabo’s team has not been following Clemson for very long.

***Coach Speak Warning coming up***
Our next game is our toughest!
**But, two weeks in, I would say N. Carolina. They believe and are actually a talented team. Their record doesn't show it the last few years; but they recruit pretty well. NC State has a really good new QB! Poised and gun slinger type. They can be dangerous especially b/c the game is at Carter-Finley. Devito looked vs. Maryland - he just doesn't play defense. Mcfarland and company had a field day on that defense. Cuse will be hungry for a win and could be tough. They will have a tough week of practice. Wake QB has looked really good early. Same with the BC QB. Nancy St, Weak Florist and B-Cause are undefeated.
Personally, with Kendal Briles at FSU I suspect it's just a matter of time before they really start gaining confidence in his offensive schemes. FSU also has the personnel to compete: "if they can get it together"!

I think BC is very solid and hugely under-rated.
In ACCCG, Virginia will be solid as well.

Solid D, tough team, well coached, and a great RB. Who is better? We will find out this week with BC-UNC.

AGREE. On any given day, any team can beat any team
Sep 8, 2019, 3:53 PM

And that includes several teams on our schedule being able to beat us.
Clemson needs to keep working towards excellence. We are a long way from that now.
Defense leaves too many WR targets way too open. Defense has not always been tackling well or fillng run gaps. Defense should have stopped TAMU from scoring TD.
WRs have been dropping balls. QB has been throwing too many interceptions and missing open WRs, Offense has sputtered when running game is stopped.
After the near perfect national championship game, i am spoiled and have high expectations. We need to keep working and playing towards the standard - excellence. Not there yet.

Really? Last year we played a 5 loss unranked Pitt in the conference championship. I wouldn't count on anyone in the ACC being considered a "tough opponent" for a few years. It's Clemson then a bunch of teams trying to make bowls in the conference.

We will beat the Cuse and UNC by 3 TDs at least. BC and NCST will be tough physical games that we pull away in because of talent. WF will not be as easy as usual but we will have no problems. FSU and Louisville, who knows but more than likely we cover the spread.

I'm not buying BC at home as a tough game...

They routinely struggle to score double digits against us. Last 3 games we've given up 7, 7, and 10 to them. We are going to win that game like 38-10.

I like the above answer. It is hard to go undefeated in any conference, keeping your players focused. Everyone wants to beat #1, so lets take it one game at a time.

NC State because it’s away. Boston College would have been my answer but that game is at Death Valley.
Wake Forest is the trap game in my opinion.
