Stop making excuses. Play calling and execution have been piss-poor to this point.

Clemson has not even peaked and the Tigers are 4-0. It could just be that the best is yet to come.

Think your on the wrong message board. Garnet and Black attack is a couple of pages down. Once on that site then go ahead and post that crap! #6th in the USA. GO TIGERS. Just win baby win!

Funny thing is USuC will probably not reach #6 this year. Six wins that is. They'll be lucky to reach 5 wins and that's pulling an upset somewhere. I expect to see them win at most 2 more games this year and Vandy is not a sure thing for them. So it could be 1 more win for the Ole Balz Sac. Go Tigers

It is foolish to think that two last-second wins means you can continue to win doing so...I agree with you. The coach even said that when one of the passes in the ND game got tipped, they decided to stop throwing...love the coach, but trying to keep from losing is not the same as using what you have to win.

What you and other's are letting slip your mind is that it wasn't just the rain. Remember when the 4th quarter started and they mentioned how the wind was now blowing toward Clemson. It's not easy to throw when a lot of the passes we throw is the wind has a chance of taking a screen pass and blowing it backwards making it a fumble if not caught. The Wind plus rain makes you reconsider... ND didn't the wind disadvantage that last quarter so needing to take the risk they did so.

Notre Dame was playing desperate

They were down 21 points entering the 4th quarter and hadn't been able to run the ball prior therefore they had to take more chances throwing the ball, were as we had a comfortable lead most of the game and had been pretty successful running so why take chances throwing constantly in those conditions?

We were not rushing effectively in the 4th quarter.

It was obvious that we were just 3 and outing the ####### ball right back to the Air Force and wearing out our own D. Get a grip people. We have a chance to be special this year and getting too conservative will eventually bite us square in the ###.

Sorry to disagree, but we were still playing it safe with 8 !/2 minutes left with only an 8 point lead...look at it again.

when you're that desperate you bring out the planes even though some of them might crash.

Of course, the Tigers were attempting to run the clock. I just think they should have been a bIt more creative in their selection of running plays. The Leprechauns were stacking the middle. Why not a jet sweep in that situation?

Now I agree Clemson's play calling was a bit too conservative, but ND didn't get much from their passing game until the 4th qtr. Almost all of there passing yards were the result of short passes getting turned into chunk plays. It looked like Venables was trying to keep them in the middle and short to keep the clock moving, he was playing bend but don't break. However as much as I love guys like Goodson and Boulware, they just aren't going to run with wrs and RBs. Most of the pass plays that turned into big yard gains were short passes where LBs were 1 on 1 in the open field.

Id've been more conservative. Wouldn't have thrown to EZ ...

I'd have been MORE conservative. I wouldn't have thrown to the End Zone at the end of the 3rd. I told my wife that I would just keep running it, as we were sitting in the rain, right before the pic happened. Could have gotten into the 4th still holding the ball but instead ND had the ball and Prosise took the wheel route to the house.
Once in the 4th I'd have taken the play clock all the way down inside 5 secs on each play. With that strategy we win by a TD minimum but most likely 2 scores.
However, I'm good with the overall strategy in a monsoon.
I guarantee had Watson thrown another interception that added to the momentum swing and we ended up losing you would be complaining that we were stupid to throw the ball in that weather with an 18 point lead.
SHUT YOUR TRAPS !!! We are 4-0 because of our conservative strategy in that game.
If you were in the Upstate and were watching from your nice, warm, dry homes then you can doubly SHUT YOUR MOUTH !!!

I know we won't want to do anything to risk a turnover, but

I would like to see some other back rotated into the mix. Gallman definitely deserves the start and the majority of the carries, but it would be nice to see some bigger guys mixed in to give them a different look. We got pretty predictable against ND with it going Gallman/Watson/Gallman/Watson. I know they knew it and couldn't stop it to the credit of our OL, but by the end of the 3rd quarter they could stop it. Need to have some more options if we are going to pound it out on the ground.
