Unlike most of you I see positives in yesterdays game..

Yes Ray Ray dropped the ball going into the end zone, but we most definitely found ourselves a heck of a kick returner. He is electric. He did a good job at receiver as well. Mike was our best receiver week one, and Ray Ray gets my vote for best receiver this week. Cain had a case of the drops yesterday. If he makes the catches he dropped it would've made a huge difference on the scoreboard. That is easily fixed in my opinion. Dropped balls will work itself out as the season goes on. We also had a few times where the receivers were running free and Deshaun couldnt get them the ball. Again easily repaired. The main thing we need to get on offense is more production in the running game. One thing I saw yesterday was the coaching staff were mixing in a lot of guys upfront, trying to get them reps. Offensive line play is all about working together and when we get into conference play a lot of missed assignments will be cleaned up when the same guys start to get the majority of reps. Those other guys will have some playing time tho in case they are called on. Same thing with the D. A lot of people played yesterday, and that was probably Dabo's game plan. In the end we came away victorious and got a lot of young players some quality PT. Its a long season and the more rest we can give our starters will make them fresher at the end of the year. GO TIGERS!!

OAN: totally unrelated but, if two players on the same team have the same last name, why do they feel the need to add their first name initial to identify them? Doesn't them having a different number get the job done?

have criticism against Dabo this year. It's any fans prerogative to speak their mind. If you're completely happy with the season this year, quite frankly you're a cheerleader/yes man or woman! I've only seen a team do this after winning the National Championship. They come out the next year flat. Expecting the competition to lay down. I question the hunger of this team through two games. I think Dabo is doing all he can to right the ship so to speak. It's hard when so much is expected from such a talented team. Especially when they sleep,walk through the first two games of the season. We are as talented as anyone in the country. I have faith that the coaches will get everyone back on track. We need hungry play once again. If we go to Atlanta and play like the following two weeks, we will lose our ranking and to Pawl Johmson! Not to mention Louisville and FSU. We aren't even on the same planet with them right now. If you believe we are you are delusional! We can be! We can even be a couple touchdowns better. But, we have to play HUNGRY! We need the fans crying for a fix as much as we need the cheerleaders! I'm not calling any names, but some of you would swear Dabo was amazing at 0-8! I've bled orange since I was old enough to understand football. I've attended games since 1974. I've also boo'd Ken Hatfield and was told by cheerleader fans how could I consider myself a Clemson fan and boo the coach? Well, you don't have to be happy with the team to love them as much as life itself! Remember that cheerleaders calling out those pointing out the obvious! We are struggling! If the ship is not righted quickly, 3-4 losses could be on is so fast you'll be wondering what happened while us realist where trying to tell you so! I think Saturday, combined with the deserved dropped in the polls will be enough of a wake up. If not, this season will get longer, and more frustrating in a hurry! That said, Go Tigers! I hope we win them all!
