If Clemson loses this game we are going to the Russell


Nov 30, 2015, 9:54 AM

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?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Clemson


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


Nov 30, 2015, 9:56 AM

to a New Year's 6 bowl so I don't think we would fall that far.


But lets not chance it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

a better clemson defense gave up 500 yards & 35 points


Nov 30, 2015, 9:57 AM

to this UNC offense last year in DV.

did UNC lose anyone from that O?

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


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!!!

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

i believe they played an inspired game at home for frankie


Nov 30, 2015, 10:06 AM

beamer's last. yes i do.

isn't that what scar did to clemson this weekend passed?

who's scared? i simply pointed out a couple facts and here you are? doesn't appear i'd be the one that's scared in this situation.

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

Re: Multiple turnovers and a poor defensive showing...


Nov 30, 2015, 10:23 AM

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.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

i don't know what you are, save bothered enough by


Nov 30, 2015, 10:28 AM [ in reply to Multiple turnovers and a poor defensive showing... ]

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.




2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Nice attempt at deflection...


Nov 30, 2015, 11:18 AM

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.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

you really are upset by a couple ~facts from a year ago...


Nov 30, 2015, 11:27 AM

it's ok, it appears you're not alone and can huddle together with the others for safety.

Re: And a much WORSE VT defense...


Nov 30, 2015, 10:44 AM [ in reply to And a much WORSE VT defense... ]

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

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I don't believe in that type of transitive property.


Nov 30, 2015, 10:03 AM [ in reply to a better clemson defense gave up 500 yards & 35 points ]

DW also had 6 TDs.

We just need the defense to play as well as they did against FSU and Clemson will win this game.

I completely agree....


Nov 30, 2015, 10:07 AM

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

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


agree, who knows what happens? 2 different games 2 different


Nov 30, 2015, 10:10 AM [ in reply to I don't believe in that type of transitive property. ]

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.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Hopefully they crap the bed like they did against USCjr.***

Nov 30, 2015, 10:31 AM

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.

Re: If Clemson loses this game we are going to the Russell


Nov 30, 2015, 9:57 AM

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.

I agree....


Nov 30, 2015, 9:59 AM

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.

but unfortunately I think you're right.

Re: The ACC champ would be in any legitimate playoff,

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

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Would still be in top 10, we'd be in one of the 6 still.***

There's no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people who ask questions.


Nope...UNC would get that spot ....


Nov 30, 2015, 10:03 AM

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

At Large At Worst....Still Could Be #4 Depending


Nov 30, 2015, 10:12 AM

on Other Teams Performance And Conditions of Loss. Agree Though That This is Super High Stakes Game.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

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.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Unless Watson has 3 quick fouls called on him


Nov 30, 2015, 10:41 AM

and we lose 93-22

Naa, we still dont drop below January 1st Citrus Bowl, if that far

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: If Clemson loses this game we are going to the Russell


Nov 30, 2015, 11:28 AM

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

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Brad Brownell: more losses than any other coach in school history.


If we lose a close game I predict we still make the playoff


Nov 30, 2015, 11:32 AM

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.
