Has coach Swinney


Nov 12, 2018, 11:24 AM

Commented on the reason he kept TL in the game Saturday? With all that has happened in the last five or six games I believe that he now feels comfortable with the performance of Brice and isn’t concerned about his ability to be the backup quarterback. Obviously, with the championship drive just beginning, he perhaps thinks TL needs to get more snaps. This was especially true Saturday because TL was a little off with the deep ball and maybe coach felt like he needed the extra game work. Having two of the offensive linemen out also gave the qb a chance to work with the subs. The left tackle spot is a vital position for the qb to have success. In any event, the Tigers are in great shape to close out the season in a very positive way. I don’t believe that any of us felt good about the season until Brice proved himself early ..... and often. That game with Syracuse May have been a big turning point for this team. It certainly made all of us more comfortable. Agree?

...didn't start until the 5th game of the season and even in that game he didn't have a chance to get reps. BC has a very good D and it was an opportunity to give him some real world experience he can't get on the practice field. We are in Championship Phase and that requires us to prep for the upcoming ACC and CFP games.

You are spot on in my opinion. I’m anxious to see how the coach plays out these next two games. I feel like Brice will get a little more work since they are home games.

The kid needs the reps!!! The pracyice field can't replicate game speed. He can only get bigger, better, and stronger!!!!! His decision making skills can only get better, and the practice field can't prepare him for that. Sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride!!!!!!!!!

/\ Yep /\. Plus, hopefully Trevor is constantly

learning. Especially when a batted ball comes back to you! Rookie mistake that I bet won't happen again.

Go Tigers AND Tiger Nation!

TLhas only started 6 games


Nov 12, 2018, 11:29 AM

they are opening the play book and probably just getting TL snaps


I think BC is a pretty good team and great LINE play - threw a bunch of interesting "READS" at TL

I think he learned a lot in that game .......

Right. This BC game came at a good time. Tough road game just as the Tigers begin to prep for the big drive.
Now we can finish out the regular season with two home games. A first for this year! You would hope that your team is playing it’s A game as the season winds down and I believe that we are.

This team is amazing in ways that we seldom talk about. It’s rare for the Tigers to have a penalty. That’s a sign of great discipline and coaching. Turnovers have not been a major problem and the team plays really smart football. Bonehead plays are almost non existent which says a lot about team leadership. Now if we can fix that punting issue!!!!

Plus we were only up 20.

You can score 2 td's in a minute sometimes. A TD followed by a fluke TD and we are only up 6 with enough time to lose the game.

It's hard to return 3 punts for TDs in the same game ... but I guess they coulda . Our D ain't letting anybody score these days. ... looking at you BAMA .

Yep, "looking at you Bama"... or the Dawgs. Nobody has EVER

faced a D-Line like Clemson's in CFB history. They're all healthy and on a mission. The bigger the game, the more intense the devastation.

You’re right Neal. That’s good coaching and that’s where we have our biggest advantage. It will really show in a couple of weeks! Hope it’s a day game!
