Another week, another challenge for the defense
Another week, another challenge for Brent Venables’ defense. Clemson looks to keep NC State quarterback Jacoby Brissett in check and get off the field on third down when the Tigers play in Raleigh this weekend. Photo by Joshua S. Kelly / USATODAY Full Story » |

I know the NCSU students were asking for that, but I never heard if it was agreed upon.

Thanks. That's not very creative on their part. I guess they don't want to highlight this beat down.

NC State made a good choice...

by wearing red.
NC State in all black and Clemson in all orange on Halloween would have drawn a larger audience.
They are trying to keep the witnesses to a minimum while we spank them at home.

Red also helps hide the bloodstains***

There'll be plenty of blood dispensed in that particular location too.

This motivation tactic is starting to feel like 1981

I remember Ford back then had some stat that each opponent did well and focused the team on trying to stop it. Sometime it was pretty random. Against NCSU in 81 it was something about them either blocking or returning punts. This year is about getting off the field on 3rd down vs NCSU.
They've done a great job of creating a mini-game within the game.

Maybe It's Just Me, But

BV seems to be the best DC we ever had. The defense we've played this year seems at least as good as the defense we put on the field in the WVU bowl game when Major Harris was their QB, and that is a standard of excellence I measure by. That defense was a smothering defense that snuffed everthing out. BV has this bunch so honed in, it's unreal, and swarming on offenses the same way. This is fun to watch!

Oh man, I loved that D when we played WVU and Major Harris! Levon Kirkland is still my favorite Clemson player of all time. But I agree, this D may be better. I don't think our linebackers are better than 89. But the D-line and secondary probably are.

In our top 5 DTs, I think we have 4 that will play on Sunday after their Clemson careers are done. I think all 4 starting DBs will play on Sunday. The DEs, I am only certain about Lawson, but Dodd will likely be drafted. I really like our LBs, just not as sure about them playing in the NFL.

It would be almost impossibe for anybody to have a duplicate jn performance for Lavonne Kirkland, but I do think that overall this defense may be better than that one. The YouTube called "Ford's Last Stand" is one I never get tired of watching. A similar one can be made about this one, and last year's Oklahoma game, as well. We are living in the greatest of times, IMO.
