Killer instinct needed for Thursday night...


Sep 17, 2013, 9:06 AM

I've been a Clemson fan for decades now. Graduated in 1982...National Championship senior year...
What seems to me to be missing from Clemson is a "killer instinct." I've seen it this year and in years past. They have a tendency to play either up or down to the level of competition. You saw it in the GA game (up tempo) and you saw it in the SC State game (down tempo; yes, we won by a sizable margin, but the 1st string offense sputtered).
It's the same style of play that embarrassed us in Raleigh two years ago. While I fully believe our team is far superior to NC Sate this year, playing down to their game could have disastrous consequences.
If we're going to have place in the upper echelon of college football, we need to develop the mentality long with the player. See Alabama, LSU, Oregon, etc....just my two cents worth this Tuesday morning.

Boyd made mistakes and was greedy going for the bigger targets, and Morris called him out about doing that. THAT is the reason the 1st team "stunk". Hopefully Boyd learned a valuable lesson in time for this game. As great as he is, Boyd is still a work-in-progress. We will be fine because Morris won't tolerate that behavior this week.

Morris is a serious guy in case nobody noticed. :)

real hard to ignore all the Heisman chatter on the four letter network and he was prolly thinking how a couple "huge" plays would further fuel that fire. Hopefully he is back down to earth and ready for bidness!

Things to think about from 2 years ago:

Going to Raleigh we were a wounded football team. Sammy was out, Tajh was overweight, Ellington was out. It wasn't a good situation.

We turned the ball over how many times? 3?

Also, the week before we locked up the Atlantic division title. There was probably a lack of motivation.

I know NCST is better than those two teams were last year, but I would hope that if we can get up for those games and play well then the players should be able to do the same this Thursday.
