I have a feeling Stephone Anthony will show why he was ranked a 5 star linebacker out of high school this game.

Certainly Venables and the defense have the most to prove
Nov 24, 2013, 1:26 PM
|

that their caliber has permanently risen. Good news is they have been proving that, sometimes slowly, all season. So this Saturday is a chance to show there is no fluke here, but they are improved all around.....I'm still a little nervous or anxious about our secondary, though....prove me wrong please!!

How'd you get that?

He responded in generalities to the question while complementing their players and coaches. In essence, it was nothing like the 'it's on,' comment.

No Coach, some games are more important than others.

Do you think that the coaches spent all week on el Cid?

Puhleeze. They installed their game plan and probably worked on fundamentals. Obviously they aren't going to talk South Carolina to their team, but they were working on this week from the minute the GT game was over. You just aren't going to say that publicly. There are some games you know you can roll the ball out there and win.
Same as SC has been working on us since the minute the UF game was over.
Same as Alabama has been working on Auburn since Miss St.
Same as Florida has been working on FSU since South Carolina....well, that didn't work out so well.

There's no doubt coordinators are focused on the next

game but I'm pretty sure there have been plenty of staff watching film (if not the live games) for each opponent throughout the year. Venables doesn't just start from scratch on Sunday for the next Saturday game. I have to think he starts with a whole bunch of notes and prepped clips from others. And he probably has a chance to look at pieces throughout the season. He has probably been devising schemes and having his assistants doing the same off and on.
But today is the day, like every other day after the last game, where his focus is now 100% on the next game.
That's how I read coach speak in all these interviews. All they are saying is - "I've had SCar on my radar but haven't let it distract from the most important game - the next one. But Sunday is the day I bury myself and the players in nothing but prep and strategy."
If you were to put them under oath throughout the season there is no doubt they will tell you a ton about how key players - like Connor Shaw - have been playing. It isn't like they have completely shut it out.

This point in the season, if we haven't gotten it now, we will never get it. The only preparation now is grap your mouth piece, helmet, shoulder pad, keets, buckle-up, follow assignments, bring a truck load of confident, 100% of belief, play Clemson's football like it no tommorrow(for some this hold true), proved to yourself as well as your team members that you are ALL-IN till the end, leaving everything you got on the field, and no stone unturned. Finishing what you started with a reminder to them: (NO FEAR)!!!
