Guess he didn't consider Notre Dame and Bama adverse situations less than 12 months ago...

Isn’t it funny that our margin of victory over the ACC last mirrored our margin of victory in the playoffs?

Yeah, and even the 18 Bama defense was better than 31-0hio State
An interesting note, Clemson is 3-0 vs undefeated teams in the playoff.

Kiper probably thinks Adversity is a journalism school.

Count Chocula is forever making these sort of proclamations.
Didn't he repeatedly insist Deshaun Watson was a second-or-third-round pick a couple years back? I seem to recall that. A lot....

Mel Kiper (Eddie Munsters Great Grandpa), P.F. (Dumbo the elephant's brother), a whole host of other EsecPN analysts (mostly SEC Homers) and most of the O31O State fans keep saying this is not last year. I agree that part is true, but they are acting like Trevor, ETN and the rest of the offense were not playing last year.
The QB was there, the RBs were there, the receivers were there, the OL was there (and played enough snaps to be starters), and the coaches, as well as, many backups were there too. As far as they are concerned, the Tigers didn't play and gain experience in 2018/2019.
After the close loss to Bama on 2015, the talk in 2016 was the experience the Tigers got from the playoffs and the game with Bama. Now after destroying the greatest team in football history, the Tigers learned nothing and gained no experience. If that's the case, it goes to show how weak the SEC really is.
You can reset the season clock each year in late August but you can't take away the experience from the previous year. I hope Dabo has enough time before December 28th to get the Tigers some experience and season up a little.
Go Tigers!
