Clemson vs Auburn 2 loss teams?
Nov 10, 2014, 9:33 AM
|
|
Clemson lost away @#12 and @#1.
Auburn lost @#3 and at HOME vs UNRANKED team.
What say the committee now?

If I'm evaluating what I'm seeing on the field....

even in my partiality, I don't see us being better than Auburn. We get Watson back and can get something clicking on offense, maybe. But right now we are just hanging on to beat the Syracuses and Wake Forest.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the wins, but Clemson is not a top 10 team at the moment.

Great, hard fought wins. Let's see how we look with Watson back (and hope he stays healthy until the end of the season).

How bad would Auburn beat teams like Syracuse and Wake Forest?
That's pretty telling in my opinion.
I'm not saying Auburn is the greatest team ever fielded, but suggesting we are clearly better than Auburn is pretty ridiculous.

Auburn wouldn't diddle around for 3 qtrs at wake b 4 pulling away. If you want respect you knock teams like that out quickly. Hope last week was our bad game and this week we will get the 0 going

We clearly have been missing a great QB, and even more clear is the lack of run game. I blame that almost entirely on the OL.

Spiller: Have to disagree. I was at the Auburn-A&M game and the Auburn defense is horrible to say the ;least. They play a 4-2-5 and there are huge gaps for passes over the middle which A&M exploited all day. Their pass rush is a non=factor and their secondary is a joke. On offense they're high average. QB Marshall is good but error prone which he made to lose it at the end.
This is the weakest Auburn team in several years and with DW we would have a relatively east time taking them apart.

Spiller: apparently unless anyone totally agrees with what YOU say, their thoughts count for nothing. I WAS AT THE AUBURN game AND THEIR D STINKS. I never said anything about our O line which by the way is not good but not as bad as you make it out to be. They play a 4-2-5 D and we would absolutely destroy them and it just as A&M did.
Really would appreciate you be willing to acknowledge that other people on this site just might occasionally know what they're talking about. The fact is that our biggest O problem is our play calling which is predictable, routine, and never uses the element of surprise or deception. And please don't tell me that backs in motion is an element of deception. enjoy your day

for reiterating your points in all caps. that method of persuasion is infallible. i'll go back and reread my post, but i don't recall mentioning the offensive line, backs in motion, or that your thoughts count for nothing.
my personal opinion remains that it's ridiculous to sit here and state that we are clearly superior to auburn. folks are picking apart their wins against ole miss and kansas state as if they shouldn't matter while forgetting that clemson is 2-3 plays away from being a 4 loss team right now. i'm also not currently part of the "oh boy watson is coming back we about to drop a hundy on them" camp. he's missed a significant amount of time, and his gaudy numbers were the result of playing two defenses that would struggle against some hs teams. do i think the offense will be better with him back? of course. however, i don't see his return as reason to claim we would clearly shred auburn. i'm not suggesting that you are doing all of the things i just mentioned, but i wanted to share my thoughts on the matter.
one question though. have you been to an auburn game this season? still unclear on that.

Spiller: yes I went to a game each year as my granddaughter is a student there. There is no doubt that this Auburn team is considerably weaker than last year's on defense and their O would be hampered by our pass rush. They put on a good show, SEC or not, and it was a treat to see the A&M band which was nothing less than spectacular..

We would spank them in a bowl with DW.
Obviously many of you must think the coots will beat us this year too since they're sec.

Yes they do...but K State missed 3FG's and had a sure TD catch dropped and picked off. Then with Ol Miss...well 2 late fumbles with Treadwell being injured on a go ahead TD. How close was that play...if he had the ball in his left hand instead he scores. So say what you want to but they've been very lucky and opportunistic which is why they only have 2 losses.
Back to the K State game...they pretty much held Auburn in check offensively that game [remember Auburn only scored 2 td's and 2 fgs]with them only allowing like 360 yards or so. With that said...do you honestly think that we couldn't do the same with our Defense?

We are a couple plays from being a 4 loss team right now.
If we are playing this game, that is.

So, you have two different strengths/weaknesses.
It would be an interesting game.
With a healthy DW, I'd like our chances.

We haven't beaten anyone.
Even beating a sub 500 coot team is not going to cut it. we are out.

We beat Louisville, BC, and Cuse, and barely scraped by in all 3 of those games. Our losses might be to better teams, but their wins are much better than ours.
