why in the he!! did they schedule the fsu game so late in the season.

The 2 best ACC teams playing that late means the loser drops without much chance to get back into the hunt for a New Years Day bowl...

Swoffie and his pals know the ACC will never get 2 teams into the playoff. Therefore, put a de-facto playoff game on the schedule to help assure one team or the other of a berth.

Jan 26, 2016, 3:09 PM

It's our first conference game and it's right after Troy and SC State, so we'll have extra time to prepare for them. I don't know why the ACC insists on putting that game on Thursday night every time (or what seems like every time)...it sucks, but they love to do it.

I bet GT has been complaining for years about Thursday night opponents getting an open date before playing them, so this what the ACC offers as a compromise.

Glass half full or half empty?

I say half full...sure, short week sucks on the surface, but with an FCS game at home that Saturday it mitigates that issue a bit.

Love that we have a bye pre-FSU and a long week pre-Louisville...likely to be 2 of toughest tests (if not THE 2 toughest) on the schedule...

Not real keen on that 5-day prep for GTech ...


Jan 26, 2016, 3:07 PM

With the number of new starters we've got on defense, I'd have liked more time.

badge-donor-20yr.jpgbadge-ringofhonor-revdodd.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Re: Not real keen on that 5-day prep for GTech ...


Jan 26, 2016, 4:19 PM

We'll be ok... They were absolute garbage last year and won't be much better even though I think they will make a bowl. They also have a short week and BV hasn't had much trouble with ol Tech. He had their number last year except he forgot to prepare for the Cole Stoudt special which they got 14 points off of.

The great thing about how we stack up against GT is that our interior DL is arguably the best in the land and that is 50% of stopping them. If they can't effectively run the option starting between the tackles on the belly, dive and trap then, the rest of the offense sputters and it quickly becomes an option offense and not a triple option offense.

Most importantly, they don't have a prayer of stopping the Clemson Deshowffense featuring Mikey Mike, Tay and Wayne train... Cain is able, Hunter will catch his prey, McCloud is gonna make it rain, and we'll unleash Feast mode.


***Sorry I couldn't think of something better for Mike Williams.

Only 2 games leave Clemson at a disadvantage prep wise. The 5day prep for GT and then the 6 day prep for BC.

On the flip side there's extra time to prepare for a very talented Louisville after GT and a bye week before FSU.

GT's Thursday night game aside. The Friday night game is ridiculous bullsh!t by the conference but we knew that was going to screw us (and all teams) eventually. It's not going to kill us.

An open date before FSU is pretty nice.

school, and our cross-divisional rival...they are our biggest ACC rival, but you can just say the best football school in the conference if you want them to be our rival I guess.

Again, you're missing the clear point that we haven't won at our rival's house in over a decade...hence making it a more important game than Louisville.

Fair and balanced schedule fro what I quickly saw. Both us and FSU have bye weeks prior to our big meeting.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Georgia Tech, Auburn, and FSU will be tough.


Jan 26, 2016, 3:19 PM

Georgia Tech is one of the most difficult offenses to prepare for and we only have five days to do it. I don't want to overlook SC State, but we may need to prepare for both the week before. Auburn is opening week, which can mean we come out flat, but I like our chances. Florida State is always difficult but I don't see us losing with the ACC Atlantic probably on the line. Right now I'd say 12-0 with a possibility of 10-2 (GT & AUB/FSU).

Haven't read the comments yet, but I'm sure people are crying about Thursday @GT and the Friday game. Personally I think this is a very manageable schedule and I think it is set up very well for our success. Get past Auburn and we have a few weeks to prepare for GT to go with the bye later in the year right before FSU. Going undefeated is tough but the opportunity is there.

I'm just thankful that both Georgia Tech and us both have a game the Saturday before that Thursday game in Atlanta.

We have a tough home game against Louisville the Saturday before we play Boston College on Friday. They play Buffalo (not the Bills) on the Saturday before.

I'm a little disappointed that Clemson didn't schedule either SC State or Troy before the South Carolina game in November, but maybe they (the CU athletic administration) wanted to make sure that we had some early home games to develop the defensive talent.

Jan 26, 2016, 3:38 PM

Someone should fax an angrily written letter to the commissioner's office.

Otherwise this schedule looks pretty great. Hate seeing Thursday/Friday games, but it gives us extra prep time the following week for a harder opponent. Middle of the season OPEN date is good.
