So, how good are you in the lines this year?....

How much experience and depth is on the OL & DL?
How many starters returning?
You'll get a real test in Athens. Georgia's main question mark is defense. Their offense theoretically should be pretty good. But I'm not yet sold on Hutson Mason, their replacement for Murray at QB.

Very very good on DL, ok on OL

Clemson is really comfortable with everybody in the 2 deep on the DL, and in some cases they're pretty comfortable 3- deep.
The starting OL should be pretty good and will have plenty of experience, but most of them haven't started. David Beasley, a starter at guard, is suspended for the UGa game, but his replacement has some experience. Guard is a fairly deep and talented position, Center is a really strong position for Clemson, and we're good with our starters at OT. Biggest question mark is probably RT, but the coaches have been really happy with Joe Gore in camp.

OK, good luck. The key to beating UGA's offense...
Aug 26, 2014, 9:43 PM
|
|
It's usually about making their QB uncomfortable and taking away their downfield passing game. If you can do that, you can usually beat them.
If Clemson's DL can "git after it", they can rattle Mason.

For that reason, I think he gets 2 more years. I predict that 2015 will be his last year. That's enough time for two more 7 win seasons, 2 bowl losses, and losses to probably VT, Clemson, Miami & UGA, twice each.

Tech has usually played well against Clemson. It's not always that way. But we've usually held our own and even more. I used to always rate that game a toss-up every year, no matter how good or bad either team was.
But right now, the talent differential is just too much. The only way Clemson loses to Tech is if you lay a gigantic egg at BDS.
Dabo has out-recruited us to the point where we can't compete with Clemson anymore, which is sad. Tech/Clemson is a great rivalry. But in the current situation, it's no contest.

Google up the D-line...shouldn't take you long to find articles calling it possibly one of the best in the nation this year.
As far as O-line, explained this to a UGA troll earlier (which seemingly hid afterwards)...for the UGA game, it's these guys (with stats and noteable games they took snaps in non-ACC or vs top teams)...Then afterwards, David Beasley returns to the O-line....

I agree with all except Joe Gore. LSU game shouldn't even be mentioned for him, very bad and very few plays for him.

agreed...just listing the one big game he was in...not his best by any means, but the Georgia people feel the need to base on that over the ones he did good that "are minor league" in their eyes..lol...

Hey, Smitty! Welcome back!
Aug 26, 2014, 9:49 PM
|

Hoping to hear from you and Cobbler later in the season. Folks seem to think our O Line will tell the tale Saturday. I tend to believe it will be the team with fewer turnovers and more consistent play at linebacker.
And I like our chances with both.
Take care! See y'all later this season!

Georgia's front 7 on defense is pretty good. It's their 2ndary that's bad. And they have a new coordinator. So, it's got that unknown factor.
I think the game will be won either way by a field goal.

How do you know if our secondary will be bad? The secondary didn't have much coaching last year because coach Lakatos was having health issues! And getting Pruitt who is probably the best secondary coach outside of Nick Saban coaching them up just a little bit will make them better than last's year's secondary!!

Yes, because you have so much insider information to know they won't be, right? or just hoping?

They will be better than last year! And were did I say I had insider information? And like I said in my previous post they didn't get much coaching last year because of the coach having health issues! If you can't understand that I don't know what to tell you.

Well, here's the thought process...
Aug 27, 2014, 8:40 PM
|
|
Last year, your secondary sucked, even though you had a lot of talent. As you said, they didn't get any coaching. But then in the off-season you lost some guys that would've started. So, you'll have some (not all, but some) untested DB's with a first-year coach.
Given all of that, it's not a stretch to think that your 2ndary will be a weak spot in game 1.
Now, I could be wrong. But if I'm looking at your defense, I would attack that secondary until they prove to me that they can defend. The UGA front 7 is a different story. There's talent, experience, and a track-record of good results even under the previous coach.
