Do you think outcome could have been different if......

Sorry but i'm still upset of the Syracuse loss, especially now with CFP ranking out and we are outside looking in at the top 4. Assuming our offense played the same way with KB injured and later out, had our defense prepared better, do you think we could have won that game with 24 offensive points? 24 points should have been enough to win. Obviously our defense wasn't prepared or focused for that SU game. But had we prepared better, do you think our defense from the Auburn or GT game could have been enough to stop Syracuse from scoring over 24 points? What if NC State has same game plan as SU, can we handle it?

The Tigers will be totally prepared and will contain the Pack much better than SU. I am most concerned about the kicking situation. I hope it does not come down to a game winning kick.

It took a perfect SNAFU storm to lose that game.

I agree 100% with bengalbilly. That game was a storm of failures at every level. With only a slight improvement in any area, we win in regulation or at least go into overtime and win.

the CFP rankings would not be released until tonight at 7 p.m.
Thus, I've refrained from conjecture until such time despite the general agreement on TNet that our ranking would suffer from the Cuse loss. Of course, we all hope lessons were learned from that game.

After lackluster offensive performances against Auburn, WF, and BC, I kept saying that I was worried about what would happen this season when our defense just had a bad day, and the offense needed to score a lot to keep up or come back from a multiple score deficit. Well the defense had a really bad day against the #29 offense, and still only gave up 27 pts. It just so happened that it was on a day when the starting QB was already hurt then got hurt worse. I don't think anything Syracuse did was particularly inventive or "exposed" the defense in any way. For whatever reason, Clemson just didn't have it that day.

All we needed to win would have been a Saturday kickoff. What are the stats on road teams playing on week nights? Unless the schools are a bus ride apart, I bet the road team loses a lot more often than they do on Saturdays because asking college students to prep, travel by air, and play on a weeknight is just asking too much. It makes a mockery of the student-athlete concept.
Also, the 'cuse QB is a darn good football player. We will be seeing him on Sundays.
