I saw a D that was more aggressive but just not yet conistent. If things like tackling keep getting a little better each game, we have a chance of having only 1 loss by the SC game. That will be the real test for the defense.

The SC offense is far from consistent, but I don't think it would be wise for Clemson's defense to think it easy. After all, Shaw was almost perfect against Missouri and had a very good game against UGA. Mizzou is not stellar by SEC ranks, but their defense is STILL a few positions ahead of Clemson in points allowed. So.....

Despite the yards given uo the D played very well

the DL continues to be strong against the runa dn is FINALLY getting pressure on pposing QBs. THe secondary is still shaky but is getting a bit better in their coverage.
No one would have thought that our O could struggle in a game and our D could man up and bail us out and they did exactly that.

What? VT got almost 200 rushing yards and Ball State was allowed 250+ yards. The only team they held on the ground was BC but even BC was allowed 400+ yards total offense.
I'm still in the camp that says our O has to outscore our D. It is getting better, but only a little at a time. Tackling is still a huge, irritating problem.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Was Chad calling plays or someone else? And what about running TB up the gut so many times? Did we ever establish our signature corner runs? NO. I'm not even sure we attempted more than 5 attempts at out running the Hokie D. The zone read turned vanilla and predictable. Not Chadlike at all.
Just sayin'.

Kind of harsh don't you think?

What I saw was a defense playing with heart, and making some big plays. I also saw an offense overcome some struggles and not falling apart like they have in the past. A win is a win whether in good fashion or ugly. Keep it up Clemson we have a chance of having our best season in a long time!!! GO TIGERS!!!!!

You are right, I was kind of harsh. But no way should that game have been as close as it was. Our defense gave up 400+ yards to a suspect offense. Our "O" line was asleep at the wheel. That marvelous super fast offense looked like it partied all night.
Bill Elliot (NASCAR) was quoted after winning the Southern 500 once, "I would rather be lucky than good, any day".
This game, we were lucky. And, as so many have said, a win is a win. We can beat the coots, but not like that.
