Congrats on the win.


Oct 31, 2021, 8:33 PM

Not nearly as impressive as y'all were hoping for, but I think it shows slight improvement.

Take away the two defensive TDs (one by each team) and the three missed FGs and the final score was 33-13.

I know everything counts, but 33-13 sounds like a more reasonable score for the way the game was played.

Note: I only got to listen to the first half on radio, and I've only seen a few highlights and read a couple of recaps. So, I'm not exactly in position to give an opinion.

I never saw Shipley play in HS. I did see Mafah a couple of games (on espn). Barring injury, Clemson is well set at RB. Those guys are only gonna get better and better.

Like everyone else, I'm underwhelmed with DJ.

Yes, very politely.

Thank you.

It's good to suck a tiny bit less than FSU. Your team deserved that game.

How?


Oct 31, 2021, 9:30 PM

We were better in all statistical categories.

Bret you are one fine fan. You represent your school and fandom in general as it should be.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Thanks. We will certainly take it!

If you missed the televised game then you...

...came out a winner. A game to be forgotten by both sides. Uninspiring, frustrating, and at times downright depressing. The more I watched the more my football IQ sank. Okay, I exaggerate but that's the kind of game best watched if you don't have a dog in the fight.

I have a different take. I was at the game and I was entertained. It was a fun game to be at.

Thanks Bret. You guys fought well. Could have won the game.

Actually thought you might be at the game. You're QB is a stud. He's a gamer.

50 yarder is a stretch consistently. That said, the other two should have been money. Who knows what the score would have been had Potter made those.

I say that because at that point, both team's oc's would have called different plays. Different personnel packages etc. I didn't realize until I saw the player ranking (star rating) for each position that FSU was so depleted on the oline and WR. You guys definitely missing that dalvin cook bruiser back.

Good game that could have gone either way. Anyone's bet on what the records will be for each at seasons end. I'm sure the chop? your forum and talk shows will mention the two penalties on Clemson's last drive. The PI, called either way. As for the late hit, wonderful flop job on DJ. Ricky tacky and should have been a no call. Just FYI.

I think it just might be a bit of Clemson mojo returning. Ugly wins is almost Clemson trademark.

For not being able to see the game, your analysis is pretty spot on. It was a hard fought game and both teams showed a lot of grit and determination. A couple of plays here or there being different could have changed the outcome a lot. I know a lot of people don’t agree but I think this is what Dabo is talking about when he says this Tiger team is just “a couple of plays away”. You are correct about Shipley and Mafah. They will both be very good. Mafah was injured and couldn’t get back in the game so Shipley had to do more than most would have liked him to. Who knows what may have been if a healthy Mafah could have given him a few breaks in the second half.

Spot on. Shipley avg yrd per carry skewed by the last drive when we were trying to milk the clock. DJ may as well had just taken a knee.

Just hope Mafah injury doesn't turn into a long term injury as our luck has been going this year. Ship needs some rest too. Suspect Kobe gets a ton this week.

As I sat in the stands Saturday, I thought to myself:


Nov 1, 2021, 9:45 AM

1. When was the last time that a Clemson vs FSU football game was played where both teams were unranked?

and

2. When was the last time that the winner of the Clemson vs FSU game didn't end up playing for/winning the ACC Championship?


It is kind of sad that both teams are struggling to the point that this game had practically no bearing on anything in the college football landscape...

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The throw into double coverage that resulted in an INT...


Nov 1, 2021, 10:17 AM

was just a really stupid decision. The kid has a bad habit of deciding where he's going to throw the ball before the ball is even snapped or the play develops and then never looks to the secondary receivers. Simply throwing the ball OOB and living to fight another down would have been the better option, but apparently that makes WAAAAAAAAAY too much sense. Some of the decisions DJ makes with the ball are, at times, just totally mind bottling.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


Re: Congrats on the win.


Nov 1, 2021, 9:53 PM

last year at this time Mafah was playing in high school. Shipley hasn't played for 2 years. With all things considered they could be the best 1-2 punch we've had in decades. Hopefully next year our OL will be better than the Keystone Cops playing musical chairs and we will see what we really have. And DJ will have the time and protection to make the plays like he did against ND and BC last year. Remember !!!!! the largest comeback victory in DV history and the most passing yards EVER against the Notre Dame on home or away.
