Loserville Game Question


Nov 1, 2018, 9:56 AM

Apart from the joy of watching Clemson play this weekend, I started to think about positive outcomes from the game other than another W. No injuries is the first desired outcome. I then started to think that style points are not as big a concern now that CFP Committee has ranked Clemson #2 and winning out with the team healthy is the priority. I would like to think Clemson could play the 2s and 3s with significant playing time instead of focusing on how badly we beat Loserville.

Assuming no drama and Clemson has this game under control by mid 2nd quarter, what do you see the coaches doing from a playing time standpoint? Do you leave TL in to keep developing him or do you get Chase in as soon as possible?

the subjective "eye test" bull$#!7 is all about style points.

Margin of victory is not supposed to be one of the criteria considered, but it absolutely is.

If you don't pound the teams you're supposed to beat, that is reflected in the rankings which is one reason Clemson is not currently ranked No. 1.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Absolutely correct!

If the game is in hand, I have to think the coaches will have an eye on the scoring margin between Bama and Louisville.

Other than that, I can't imagine Lawrence leaving a conference game before the half if he is healthy. Even when we beat Syracuse 50 something to nothing a few years ago Deshaun played the entire first half. I think you see the same for other positions as well. Most likely with at least 1 drive in the second half to get the half started on a good note before really starting to sit those guys for the rest of the game.

I think that this game will be like the other eight the Tigers have played this season with very few exceptions.

The end results will be very similar also. 55 - 7

I think dabo will play like he always does


Nov 1, 2018, 10:29 AM

TL will be in the game in the 3rd qrt .

Geville Tiger on Clemson football , "Dabo's only problem is he has to deal with turd fans questioning every move he makes.”


not accurate. The commissioner of CFP said

That the “eye test” absolutely plays a role. That’s why they watch the games. Otherwise they could just use metrics and that’s exactly what we hated about the ol BCS computer rankings.

I agree that TL will play in to the 3rd quarter


Nov 1, 2018, 10:39 AM

We forget that he's still a true freshman and still has much to learn and development to make. If all goes as expected, I see him do the first couple drives in the 3rd with Chase coming in to play most of the rest of the game and Batson the last couple drives of the game. May even see Hunter in for a drive or two.

As deep as our offense is, and as good, even with 2s & 3s in, we should still have an impressive win. As well as we did against FSU - who has a fairly decent defense - I can't imagine we don't do much of the same with Loserville.

Would be nice to see Will Swinney get a TD though! He's been so close!
