My OSU Take. T.I.O.L.I

Aug 6, 2021, 6:19 PM

* The fact OSU played a limited schedule can't be understated. I give them credit for being more physical than the Tigers! No doubt; they wanted it more and deserved to win - so please - do not mistake what I am saying!
But, injuries are a part of every championship run! Every level of sports from various sports can speak to "which team is the healthiest when it counts"!
If you ever played you know - you are going to have nicks and bruises and things that won't heal fully until after the season.
Well shorten that by 4 or 5 games(how many did they play?). It makes a difference and it reared it's head no doubt against OSU.
Water under the bridge now! It's all about supporting this years Tigers as they pursue their team goals!

I will have to also throw this in there: not having a normal off season would affect the Tigers more in my opinion based on the following reason:
*our OL recruiting hasn't been on par with the rest of the positions over the last 12 years. Dabo and company I think like to take underrated OL and build them into 5 star players(eventually). But, that takes time and putting in time! Teams with more day one of college raw athletic ability in my opinion didn't suffer as much on the OL. We did; because we were not built out of a bunch of 4 and 5(1 5*) star recruits! Just my take!

But, again, congrats to OSU! Congrats to those still talking LSU! Great for you! The most impressive thing Dabo Swinney and company have done at Clemson "in my opinion is not the National Championships! No. It's the consistency in which the Tigers perform and the fact the Tigers are now a household name because of that consistency! Far more impressive to me! This should serve Clemson for years and years to come.
The kids who remember Michigan and Notre Dame and Nebraska are older people now! Their kids and their kids know Clemson as a National Power!
If we don't get it this year or next - if we are in the hunt - "we are winning"! Marathon! They may win the sprint. Every now and then we win the sprint - which is great! I just want to be in the hunt and in the mix for "IT" consistently!
