If Clemson loses this game we are going to the Russell

Athletic Bowl.
I feel pretty good about beating UNC but there's so much at stake for Clemson.
WE NEED YOU DEFENSE!

Any word about what's getting the defense out of position?
Nov 30, 2015, 9:56 AM

|
Play calls just missing, or are guys just having bad games?
Has anyone seen what defensive grades have been?

If we lose this game, we could still be an at-large

to a New Year's 6 bowl so I don't think we would fall that far.
But lets not chance it.

And a much WORSE VT defense...
Nov 30, 2015, 10:03 AM
|

held the tarholes to 24 points in regulation. Do you think VT is better this year at ANY position than Clemson? Aggressiveness tempered with discipline on defense, cut out the fumbles, and we will win.
I'm amazed at how scared some of you guys sound... like big gaping vajayjays you are.
GO TIGERS!!!

Multiple turnovers and a poor defensive showing...
Nov 30, 2015, 10:16 AM
[ in reply to i believe they played an inspired game at home for frankie ] |

let the coots back in a game that they should have never even been in. Make no mistake - we MUST fix the defensive brain farts this week in practice or we could be in for some trouble on Saturday.
That said, I think we have a lot to play for, even more than Frankie's last game. We are playing for a national championship. If a mediocre VT can hold the tarholes to 24 points, we can CERTAINLY match that defense and outscore them if we do what I said earlier.
I guess it's a case of glass half full vs. glass half vajayjay. I'm not scared of UNC. They're trying take something precious from us. They're then ones who should be scared... and I don't care who they have back on offense.
FT

FlyingTiger: I agree. I am sick and tired of all these safety blitzes and playing them up so close to LOS. In the past several games we have been burned repeatedly and we have a decent/strong defense without this risky set. Leaves the back wide open and results in either long gain or TD.with very few exceptions. Sure hope V has learned from this. If he hasn't I'm afraid UNC will eat us alive because of this.

a couple of facts to call someone else scared for running them out there.
seems emotional, which is especially good around valentine's day when vajayjay is on the line.
it's ok and i thank you, i expected the responses i'm getting. amazing how antsy some of you are.
relax and i agree, we have some things to clean up. if we're weary, we can sleep after saturday.

You really ARE scared, aren't you?
We played a flat, uninspired, tentative game (except for Deshaun Watson) on the road and won in regulation. It was a 2-TD win without the garbage time letdown on defense. UNC had to muster all they had to hold off a mediocre VT team and get to overtime.
UNC will get OUR best game on 12/5/2015. Let that comfort you.

I understand VT held UNC to 24, but that has absolutely nothing to do with out defense... It's a different ball game, Unc can go out and score 40 on us does that make VT better then us?? No

and hopefully UNC plays as poorly as they did in the second half against NC State.

years, same OC vs clemson's DC, some things are equal, some are not.
i imagine both teams fire up the vid from that game.
i just threw out some facts for you guys to kick around.

way i'm sure clemson will win.
i don't want to rely on them playing poorly, i mean we can help them some in doing so, but i want clemson's A++.
i know we have it in us.

A loss doesn't necessarily knock us out . We would still be in the discussion I suspect with OSU , Stanford and the MSU/IOWA loser.

A win by UNC won't move them into the top four IMO so it's likely the Peach Fil-A Bowl for them which would probably send Clemson back to the Russell Athletic Bowl.

Both teams play similar. They get out to leads and then look pedestrian with turnovers mixed in.

and Clemson would fall to the Russell possibly against Baylor, TCU or Oklahoma State.

Does it matter right now?
Nov 30, 2015, 10:29 AM

Once the committee repositions the top 8 and if UNC ends up in that group like AP and coaches have them, then maybe there is a good argument that we stay in the New Year's bowl mix with a close loss. If Iowa loses maybe there is an argument for them to stay (1 quality loss). If Mich St loses the almost have to fall out of the top 8. Can we be ranked below Stanford with just one loss to a top team and Stanford having 2 losses? And on and on.
But for now I'm not even thinking about it. We have to beat UNC.

No way we drop out of the top 10 therefore we would still get a New Years 6 bowl

Other than Bama, OU and the B1G winner, who would have had a better season than us? The committee has shown a reluctance to drop a team very far after a loss to a good team.
