Towards the bottom of the page, the less cootlike/more realistic folks were weighing in. They are a little less cocky.

Some responses are just plain idiotic though.
"Has Clemson faced a talented, dual threat QB? "
Deshone Kiser of ND...has the #15 QBR in the nation
Marquise Williams of UNC ring a bell??..has the #21 QBR in the nation.
Jacoby Brissett of NC State...has the #35 QBR in the nation.
"Has Clemson played against a good defense this year?"
#1 Total Defense Boston College....beat 34-17
#12 Total Defense App State....beat 41-10
#13 Total Defense Louisville....beat 20-17
#15 Total Defense Florida State....beat 23-13
#19 Total Defense NC State....beat 56-41
"Have you watched any ACC games lately? Yeah, nobody else has either."
Interesting...since the ACC and the Big 10 have the most teams in the top 10 of any conferences @ 3 each...ACC's #1 Clemson, #9 Fl State, #10 UNC (can't count ND in football)
"Didnt notre dame keep him in check?"
If you call 2 immediate passing TD's and going into the 4th qtr down 21-3 while playing in a one-in-a thousand-year hurricane monsoon "keeping him in check", then ok...play calling to avoid turnovers kept him in check more than ND itself did.

oh, here's another one:
"Clemson/UNC was really the first Clemson game I watched all year but yeah Watson is special. He's not going to make the Baker Mayfield highlight plays, because he (or his o-line) never puts him(self) in a position where he has to make them. It's easy for him to go for 500 total yards with no Manziel esque plays just because he's so smooth and smart with the football "
I think he needs to just sit a bit and watch this:

They are in for a rude awakening. This is fun to watch. I don't know if it's because we have a two-headed offensive coordinator or not. However, if our running game is not working, we can pass. If our passing game is not working, we run DW. Once DW gets going, it opens back up Gallman which then opens up our passing. Good luck to OU trying to stop us. Our offense has multiple personalities, and in this case, IT'S GOOD! We will be able to stop them several times. They will not be able to stop us. Only we can stop ourselves, which I hope we do not. I think DW goes ape**** on them, Gallman has a good day, and our receivers nickel and dime their way down field. And with a healthy defense, I don't think they have a shot. This is why I don't understand the butthurtedness of people over playing OU. I think we got our best draw and win easily. They may come back and lose by a TD, but it will take them coming back to come up short. Go Tigers!

And most of the irrational posts seem on par with the irrational folks every team message board has.

seemed like 80% level headed thoughts. Most don't seem to be overlooking the Tigers.

Most, if not all of them are very complimentary. Many of them are scared to death of this match up
I think it will be a great game, Mayfield will give us fits. OU will win if we have a half like we had against UNC

Which half? The one where we repeatedly shot ourselves in
Dec 7, 2015, 2:58 PM
|

the foot with stupid penalties and whatever Teasdall did, or the one where the defense decided to quit playing?
With a few exceptions (mostly on offense) it was a sloppy performance by the entire team, and the fact that we still managed to win by 8 just shows how talented Watson and the rest of this Tiger team is and how good they could be if they put a full game together.

Read what this moron said about Watson. Its hilarious.
Watson will be a problem, he is NOT the biggest threat on their offense, Gallman is, he has Joe Mixon moves and runs a 4.34-40...in shorts and shoulder pads and runs with the tenacity of Perine, it will take very sure tackling in most cases two defenders to bring him down. The Clemson WRs are long and sure handed, albeit their route running leaves something to be desired and their down-field blocking is for the most part non-existant, if Watson gets hot (and that's "iffy") they could be trouble. I just don't think that Clemson has faced a defense the caliber of OU yet, certainly not one with the speed of OU or the quality of DBs that OU has. Watson leans to the side of Boykin when he is pressured, his completion percentage drops way off, he is definitely a "run-first" QB.

One of the OU posters on that board called Watson a "gang banger." Unbelievable.
