Clemson is tiny

the trend has been going on for a while and no one paid attention
the size has been declining dramatically since TL16 freshman year
did you see how small Vic Burley looked on the side line ??

Bigger, stronger, faster. Was at the game and it was very noticeable. Wife and I noted it as well. We were over matched on both lines.

Saw Bresee get absolutely mauled by their RT on one play. Pushed him back about five yards. Let him know afterward too.
CK2 is so weak and is not physically ready to protect himself. He needs to get in weight room.
No idea why Swinney and Turner are in over Randall. They look like middle schoolers.

I thought Turner earned some playing time after the ACC

Championship game. He made an unbelievable catch last night. I couldn’t agree more that Randall should see the snaps and not Swinney though!

I never really paid attention until a few years ago when Hood would mention it in articles and Facebook posts about how before we even lined up against them we looked better.

Yep…..but we are a sweet little team, aren’t we? This team has no toughness, nastiness, or killer instinct. Weak and soft - even when we win, it’s not truly exciting…..my gladiator isn’t dominating anymore.
I think I’ll stick with reruns of the ‘81 team……maybe not the most talented team ever, but mean as ####.

No question you’re right. Seems to be a condition we will have to get used to if we continue to refuse to replace portal opt outs with portal experience. We got beat by a mature portal loaded team. Watching our 175lb frosh DBs covering the SC transfer was scary. Their 2nd string QB was bigger than our linebackers. Love Woodaz but he looks like he’s maybe 199 lbs playing LB. True freshman are rarely ready for prime time. We are playing them out of necessity when they are not ready.

Yes, I've heard some serious scuttlebutt that Batson only trains our guys with exercise bands now and Dabo purposely is recruiting undersized guys to help achieve the siw differential. Also, Tyson Chicken is located in Arkansas and they have a silent deal with the SEC to pump players full of the same stuff they do with their chickens... Achieving optimal size and growth in a small time frame.

That we are weaker in every single position on the field and every single coaching position. Dabo, the once great open minded coach who brought in Coach V and Coach Morris has insulated himself from criticism and is a captive of his own mind, surrounded by nepotism and yes men. Darker days are ahead before this thing turns around.
