Talked to a former Clemson LB

and he said that Venables is the real deal and that our D will be better then some believe it will be. We're young everywhere except for the secondary but have talent everywhere.

I believe him based simply on the fact that it can't be much worse. I'll be ecstatic to not see DBs and LBs running around pumping their arms in the air as the ball is being snapped!

Or just standing there still looking over to the side lines while the ball was being snapped. That was really embarrassing!!!

Or grabbing a guy by the jersey and trying to throw him down instead of just knocking the crap out of him.

The main thing Venables has preached since day one...

is fundamentals. He is teaching them the proper way to tackle and to go into a tackle. He's not saying like Steele that it's something they should already know how to do. If a team is great at fundamentals then that can make up for a lack of talent. That being said we don't have a lack of talent just experience but I like the fire I see in a bunch of the young DTs and LBs. They want to play and they want to hit and they will get their chance now that they won't be confused by a complicated D.
Also, the former LB told me to be on the watch for BJ Goodson. He said the boy is a beast and will be turning some heads.

This guy has it ALL WRONG....

FSU has a great Defense, NO OFFENSE
Clemson has a GREAT OFFENSE, defense??? that is the wildcard ... IF Clemson's Defense is good (and no one really know until we see them play), then a great offense WILL score some points no matter what .... a team without an offense is, a team without an offense, and will have a very hard time putting any points up against a "good" defense...
Thus, Clemson should/will take the Division....
On the other side....
VaTech is over-rated. UVA is the darkhorse here... great Coach there, motivated good players...
UVA will win that Division
Thus,
Clemson vs UVA for the ACC CHampionship
Clemson will after beating UVA in Charlotte will be undefeated and meet Alabama for the NC
