They see, like everyone else, how 2013 looks like everything will align

for an incredible season. And we should continue to go on an incredible roll after that. If this year exceeds expectations as much as last year--- gravy.

We'll have one of the Top 10 offensive lines in the nation

in 2013.

I think it aligns better this year

I love a lot of things about our team heading into this year, but the main thing I like is our schedule. I've said it time and time again, but I not only love how we get Auburn at a neutral site, but outside of FSU our toughest ACC games are at home. So Carolina also comes to Death Vally. Not only that, FSU's schedule is the exact opposite of ours, only getting us at home with all their other tough games away from Doak.

I think too many people discount schedules when looking at seasons, especially road games. It's so tough to win on the road in conference against good teams, even good teams you should beat. I realize there are a few people out there that are scared of everyone and will point out that our road games may still be tricky, but the fact is we only play 4 true road games and 3 of them are as easy as they can get. I expect us to hold serve at home and that should propel us to a special season!

What in particular bothers you in the article?

My guess is the losing at home to the gamepeckers.***

I think we can win more than 9...just saying

the talent is there, just not the experience. This season has Tommy's last season here all over it with an inexperienced offensive line. I'm not saying that will happen, but it could be a disaster if the O-Line doesn't come together early

I thought the article was well written with some thought. The Florida State and Georgia Tech games are going to be very tough. Auburn has some very tough defensive linemen and we may have problems moving the ball against them. Their offense should not be that good.

Jul 22, 2012, 5:40 PM

ummm... sorry, that is about right. I think we will beat GA Tech, but the short turn around for the Thurs. nite will get us though.

Solid article. I just hope they are wrong about the uscjr game.

I don't' see how anyone can reason that Clemson...


Jul 22, 2012, 6:16 PM

will face a defense that can stop the most powerful offense in the country.

Had they said that our defense couldn't stop FSU, AU or GT or someone else's offense it would have made much better sense. Though I suspect that without having seen this defense take the field under the training and new scheme of Venables, a comparison between our D and everyone else's O would be devoid of logic too.

I maintain my high hopes for Clemson this year. That is why the game is played.

Do you have the 8-0 version or the 2-4 team?


Jul 22, 2012, 7:55 PM

I think CU goes 10-2 or 9-3.

Jul 22, 2012, 8:42 PM

I haven't seen/heard a single source pick CLEMSON over SUC. I'm expecting 9-3, and hoping for 10-2. We will probably lose that one game that we expect to win.
