I'm keeping a promise to a Gamecock caller to my radio show back in June during our on-air preseason picks. I told him then I was picking Clemson, partially because of the fact that USC hasn't one more than one game in a row in this series since 1968-70.
Come on Dan!

sounds pretty reasonable Dan....I see the problem as "Will we throw the ball deep?" Although we are more than capable, the play calling has been kept on the short game for the most part. I know I am going to catch some heat over that comment, but IMHO Spence has kept the Offense fairly pedestrian this year as in years past....we have the talent...so let's get the D further than 10 yards off of the ball....let's not wait until late in the game to throw deep. Our back field needs to be given some running room and Harper and our recievers can get it done.
GO TIGERS!

Yes! Get aggressive on offense.

What do we have to lose? What are we waiting for? We're not playing for the nat'l title, or the ACC title for that matter, so for Lord's sake, open it up.

PLEASE, somebody tell Rob Spence to let the boys have some fun out there. Nothing on the line here except good old fashioned rivalry. Clemson needs to have fun, and what better fun than letting the players make big plays.
Throw the ball downfield, and don't wait till the time is precious and the score is close. I'm sure AK80 wants to let all the Clemson faithful know that he CAN make that catch. How about giving him a chance?!
I think Dan made a great prediction, but Tigers won't get those 41 points unless they can really spread out the CAROLina defense and make them play the deep pass.
It might just be me, but I think Spence is too conservative a playcaller and doesn't allow the talent our players have to be showcased on the field.
Go Tigers!!

SoCar has the #4 pass-D & the #104th run-D.

Conventional wisdom dictates that Clemson should be able to run well unless SoCar stacks the box-- in which case Harper should be able to pick them apart. SoCar's strength against the pass and weakness against the run is the opposite of BC (which had the #2 rush defense and the #110th pass defense). Although Spence is incompetent, this match-up plays well into Spence's run-first-no-matter-what mentality. I just hope that he doesn't pull another sit-on-the-lead, play-not-to-lose job like he did last year.
Koenning's defense will play well enough to win the game, as they've done for the last two years-- especially if the front four provides pressure (and sacks) again.
On paper, Clemson should easily win this one. But SoCar has Spurrier calling the plays, and we have Spence.

I am reading an article from a reporter or the board on Tigernet? Weak, weak, Dan.

I'm sure that Spence wants to win every game. The problem is that he's incompetent to be the OC of a championship caliber team. He's proven that year after year.

NO way...

...Carolina only puts up 20 24 points. I think CU wins, but only if we can stop the passing game... and we couldn't last week... not sure we will this week. This Mitchell dude can throw it. I'd say 42 - 38, Clemson.

It depends *entirely* on which Blake Mitchell shows up

Yes, he can be a gunslinger...but he's so inconsistent that it's impossible to predict whether you'll get Gunslinger Blake or Deer-in-headlights Blake. Hoping for the latter.

Rob Spence is an idiot.

Ok it is only halftime, but still... what is up with our OC?!?
Does he not know how/when to call a timeout??
Seriously, this is ridiculous.
I'm no expert, but I do think that it is better to try to close the half with a touchdown instead of a difficult-angled (and missed) field goal.
Come on, Tommy, the time has come to make some personnel changes.
