score, obviously we won 52-13. What I expected to see was an offense so smooth and well-oiled that literally we were having to hold them back in the late second quarter to keep the score from getting too out of hand. I did not expect to see Boyd struggle to get passes off, having to scramble, running backs getting stopped on 4th and one, passes that were off, and three and outs. That shows me that, yes we beat Georgia, but games like NC State, Boston College, Maryland, FSU, Georgia Tech, Virginia are all games that can go either way and may be nailbiters. I'm not sure I like having 12 days off before the next game. I can tell you one thing though, we are very lucky SC State was the opponent Saturday or we could have had a long day.

One thing that presumes is that some of the rustiness wasn't due to players simply feeling they could coast through the game.
I imagine that is a natural reaction, and no doubt one which the coaches will address, but one which isn't that worrisome to me. We came out flat against a considerably inferior opponent. It happens, and we were never even close to in danger.

Could be Tajh was forcing things. He does have a cannon and sometimes a nice touch on the ball is needed, sometimes a cannon is needed too. It's kind of a fine line. But he also didn't have time like you said which will make qb's force things. I agree. They should've looked better in the beginning

I agree with you-- I wasn't pleased with a lot of what I saw, either, particularly on the offensive side. Now, I know you have to bring it every week-- I get that. BUT, we did play arguably the most anticipated game in 30 years last weekend. I can understand why we were less than flattering a week later.
Hopefully, we can get both games we've played entirely behind us and get focused on N.C. State. We've got plenty of time to prepare and we'll have absolutely no excuse for getting beat by a team that needed a last-minute field goal to beat Richmond. The nation will be watching again-- no need to give anyone any reason to feel like the term "Clemsoning" isn't a thing of the past.

We could have another one of those big games in Oct. and I know that Maryland will follow it and they will beat us if we play like we did after the big win against Uga.

The drop off in the level of excitement from last Saturday to this. Sure we should have played better but the excitement just wasn't there and the opponent drop off had to have something to do with it. We will be fine but it is a long season. Ups and downs will happen. I'll have no problem if we win all our down games by this margin.

seemed like a totally different squad with Stoudt in. That really felt odd to type, because Tajh is considered the most important person on our team.

Cole had a much better day. No drop off from Boyd, whatsoever.

whole first half. And I must say Tajh is one of my top all-time clemson Tigers. Maybe the top, but he seemed off Saturday. Now I will say when I played the half back and rewatched it, he did make some pinpoint thows way down the field a couple of times.

Were most concerning IMO. Awful angles. The second one was really bad.
First time poster - I will try to be a realist  . Been let down too many times over the years to pump sunshine. Go Tigers!

i got the feeling they wanted to get some people involved to knock off some rust or demons.
i think they accomplished it.
but at the same time, the offense stunk.
3 and outs and not converting 4th is a problem.
they better get sharp quick.
