Auburn game worries me


May 18, 2016, 5:09 PM

Every Clemson fan I speak with, even my wife, says we will have an easy game down on the Plains playing the War Eagles. But I'm very concerned. Talent wise were better. That's not my concern. But we best not take them lightly. That would be a big mistake. Playing on the road in a huge venue vs an SEC team in the opening game hasn't worked for us in the past. Yes I know this is a different Clemson. I know we have DW and awesome talent around him. But we also had superior talent last year when we played at Papa John Stadium, yet won by the skin of our teeth. Auburn's more talented than Louisville, and Jordan-hare is much more intimidating than Papa John's. So I am definitely concerned. Should be a close game.

It's real simple why we lost that game; all our coaches headsets were " turned off" in the second half. No press box, no called in plays, just a hurt QB trying to do what he could.

The first game of the season, yes. At the end of the season, no.

They still won't have a QB, we will. Not to mention our QB has weapons that would make Kim Jong be giddy.

Auburn is more talented than Louisville


May 18, 2016, 5:31 PM [ in reply to Re: Auburn game worries me ]

I'd say by a considerable margin. Their defensive line is especially talented. They recruit amongst the best in the country every year. They do not always develop, or make the best of that talent though, especially the last few years under Malzhan.

Our bunch will be ready.. Auburn is SEC and good, but we are better and we will win.. it maybe be late in the game, but I figure at least two touchdowns when we finally wear them down. they are pretty good, but thin.. backups are untested.. for them on defense

I, too, expect a war, but we win it, and we do it impressively, if we play our game and don't get hosed by our own conference ref's. Auburn, potentially, is a good team, but we are better. We are better and deeper than they are. Mistakes could be a killer for either team, but we can line up against anybody and have a great chance of winning the game. Things are different now at Clemson. No Fear!

we went down there. Their gameplan was simple: 1. Play dirty in the first half. 2. Play even more dirty in the second half.

I don't think we can afford to overlook this game either, esp. an opener at their field. But Dabo seems to be great at keeping the team focused even when the fans are getting too cocky.

Re: Auburn game worries me


May 18, 2016, 6:44 PM

Here's the way I look at it. At less than 100%, we man-handled our opponents in both the Orange Bowl and the National Championship game.

We held the "prolific" air raid offense of Oklahoma to 17 points on the biggest stage, an offense that averaged 52 points per game in the previous 7 contests before us. And outside of a few plays / mistakes against Alabama, we shut them down on all fronts and scored 40 points against what critics were calling the biggest, deepest, most-talented team in college history.

LSU scored 45 against Auburn in 2015 but was held to 16 by Alabama.

We put up 40 on Alabama, Auburn put up 13.

We are more talented, deeper than ever before, better coached, hungrier than ever. You might be afraid of Auburn but EVERYONE had better be afraid of us.

Everything you said is probably true


May 18, 2016, 8:32 PM

...but the better team usually wins. For example, Clemson beat Louisville in a ugly game, but they still won.

Kevin Steele's problems with spread-offenses are well chronicled, and he'll be facing arguably the best/most talented spread offense he's ever seen. Clemson's defense will be good enough to slow down whatever Auburn throws our way, they won't outscore Clemson (without several turnovers).

Auburn's stadium will be raucous, but Clemson will be ready. Dabo's teams don't get intimidated.

Clemson wins, not sure it'll be close though.
