An ugly season is about to get uglier


Oct 17, 2021, 8:07 AM

Unfortunately, most right-thinking people expect that Pitt will embarrass Clemson in their game this coming Saturday. Clemson's D will keep it close in the first half, but the cumulative effect of the CU O's three-and-outs will wear down the D by the end of the 3rdQ ... and Pitt will win by 14-17 points. Even worse, unless changes are made and/or miracles happen, Clemson will barely be bowl-eligible. UConn and Louisville are probably W's, and while the Tigers will likely be favored in all the remaining games (after Pitt), who knows? It is confounding how a team with a pre-season #2 ranking can end the season possibly unranked and actually fighting to play in a bowl that nobody would care about. But the howling will really (potentially) start sometime during the evening of November 27th. Just sayin' ...

Pitt is solid, but there is no reason it won't be close. The OP was calling that they will blow us out.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

On the scoreboard maybe


Oct 17, 2021, 3:32 PM

Our game with UGA was “close” but for anyone who watched it, it wasn’t. We couldn’t move the ball, at all. We haven’t been able to move the ball, at all. There is a large enough sample size to trust the stats on that. Our O is bad.

So you say there’s no reason it won’t be close, answer me why it will be. My only answer would be that our defense holds them to 14 and is able to turn them over so we can kick field goals.

With that said; go tigers, I hope we win going away and have 600 yards of offense

Surely that means Pitt is a cinch to win - maybe you should take the money line and bet everything you have on Pitt. That kind of thinking ALWAYS pays off against Vegas.

This one is a no brainer. You take Pitt and the points. When we go to a prevent or nickel the opponent is going right down the field. Happened against Tech, BC, Cuse, and State. Go Tigers

If you think Pitt is going to embarrass Clemson you are delusional. Every game we play the rest of the year is going to be close. I guess the number one team in the country couldn’t embarrass Clemson, but you expect Pitt too. Get real. Clemson defense with the injuries will still be the toughest d Pitt plays all year. 20 - 17 type game.

Re: An ugly season is about to get uglier


Oct 17, 2021, 9:58 AM

I think we see a situation like NC State.

Offense will be abysmal and the defense will not be able to get off the field.

IF the offensive performance trend continues, and there is no indication that it will not, I think we drop this one 24-13. I am preparing myself for a slow death where Pickett picks the defense apart and actually connects on a couple of bombs that NC State missed. How Pitt lost to the directional school is beyond me and a head scratcher.

This being said. I think we still finish with max 4 losses. Which is really not acceptable in this conference.

It's a reality we are all struggling with.


Oct 17, 2021, 10:22 AM

Many are still in denial. I know there are a hundred different rationalizations, some having merit while many are just excuses, but it's hard to fathom how a team can go from consistently having one of the most potent offenses in the country to having one of the absolute worst in one year. The really frustrating part is that our coaches are as baffled as we are.

What’s baffling to me is that anyone thinks it’s baffling and further that you think our coaches don’t know what is going on just because they aren’t hitting the panic button in some very public facing way.

I appreciate your honest response. I'm pretty sure having


Oct 17, 2021, 1:22 PM

the worst offense in the ACC and the worst offense at Clemson in decades is not what our coaches expect or expected, and it's very obvious that they have no solutions, given the fact that after 6 games there is little improvement, so yes, they are clearly baffled. I understand that they won't "hit the panic button" by throwing players and coaches under the bus, and I'm cool with that. At this point, I'd just like to see an offense better than GT or Syracuse.

Yeah it is really astounding to come to terms with…not only is this one of the worst offenses in the country this year…given the talent we have on the field on offense from a star rating and potential standout and combo that with our past offensive success and the expectations coming into the year…this could possibly be the worst offense of all time in college football given the potential and expectations!!!

Re: It's a reality we are all struggling with.


Oct 17, 2021, 10:33 AM

It isn’t even close to the worst offense of all time. Obviously you qualify it with “potential and expectations” which is unquantifiable and still extreme hyperbole. Take a pill and quit reveling in Clemson’s struggle and remember what it is like to actually root for a team rather than just enjoy easy wins.
