Future looks brighter now than five weeks ago

The calendar has turned to 2011 and all of a sudden the future looks very bright for the Clemson football team with its new stars like Mike Bellamy. Full Story »

Jan 17, 2011, 12:46 PM

When you have to resort to fictional articles to imagine what it might be like to not be mediocre. That's sad. This really shouldn't be on here. To say the future looks brighter because of a decent recruiting class is one thing, (although I would argue that our 2006 and 2008 classes were as good, if not better) but to have half of this story be some dream scenario isn't very informative, and it really only makes the point of just how far we've fallen.

Let'4 not count our chickens before thy hatch! We still have obstacles to overcome like the NCAA Clearinghouse to consider. And I personally wonder how our Defense will respond to opposing offenses through out the Conference after practicing against Chad Morris and his wide open spread attack offense. We definetly have game changers and heart breakers coming to our rescue on offense. But if our Defense doesn't shore up against the running attack. We may be in for another season of close games that could go either way. I hope that we can make our necessary adjustments on D to keep our offense ahead of the game.

I thought only USC had ridiculous expectations to start the season. Clemson has hit a new low with this one.

Nothing in the past 5 weeks shows Clemson is a BCS team, absolutely nothing. Not hiring Morris, not a great recruiting class (potentially)....absolutely nothing.

With the current head coach and this staff, I would worry about finishing 500 next season. Because if you look at it objectively, going better than 6-6 next year will be a major task.

Question at QB, a hurt RB, a 2nd RB going pro, still only 1/2 an option at WR, best defensive player leaving and still Dabo for a coach.......10-2 next year is a freaking dream.

January 1, 2013
MIAMI, FL (AP) – Junior quarterback Tajh Boyd threw one touchdown pass and Mike Bellamy rushed for 62 yards as the Clemson Tigers won their first BCS Bowl game in the program’s history with a 10-3 victory over Boise State in the MasterCharge Orange Bowl.

The win gives Clemson (9-5) a Top 25 (AP 24, Coaches poll 25, ESPN 25) final ranking and makes them one of the top contenders for bowl eligibility next year, while Bellamy will be a front-runner to replace Roderick McDowell for the tailback spot vacated by Andre Elligton, who turned pro mid season.

The Tigers were 6-7 two years ago, but rebounded to win 8 games last season and, thanks to an unexpected beat down of Flordia State by a 5-7 Maryland squad this year, clinched the division title. 2 weeks and five interceptions later against Georgia Tech in the conference championship game, the Tigers were BCS bound.

The Tigers fell behind Boise State by an early 3-0 score, but following a Boise St fumble at their own 2 yard line, Boyd hooked up with junior receiver Nuke Hopkins for quick slant early in the third quarter to take the lead at 7-3.

The Tigers never looked back.

After multiple 3 and outs on both sides, the Broncos threatened with under two minutes remaining in the game, driving to the Clemson 32, but quarterback Slim Chanse had a screen pass deflected by defensive end Joe Gore. After bouncing off several players, the Line Judge and field reporter Erin Andrews, the pass was cradled by linebacker Spencer Shuey, who returned it 12 yards to the Clemson 40. Five plays later, walk on punter Justin Case pinned the Boys in Blue at their own 34.

What occured next is the stuff of legend.

Chanse, while being chased out of the pocket by Jerome Maybank and a blitzing Quandon Christian, connected with fullback Ida Kno in the flats. Kno apparently tried to run out of bounds, but was knocked backwards, and kept in bounds, by safety Bashaud Breeland, Kno kept his feet but then amazingly ran toward his own endzone, only to be tackled at the 18 yard line by walk on corner back Norway Outz. 3 plays and 2 yards later, kicker Stoney Numfoot, who took over for the recent WWF pick Chandler Catanzaro, bounced a 33 yard field goal off the right upright, then off the crossbar, ultimately falling just over it, to seal the victory.

Tiger's head coach Dabo Swinney said 'This is a great victory for Clemson University, our players and our fans... Boise State played their hearts out, and I wish nothing but the best for their team and coach Rumph."

(AP 1-1-13)

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Considering Meeks probably starts this year


Jan 17, 2011, 7:38 PM

along with Hall, I don't see why he won't start in 2012.

The DL is kinda jacked up, especially at DT. Williams will probably be ahead of Tate and certainly Maybank, if Maybank even stays on defense. My bet is in 2012 the starting DTs are Williams and Watson, or Dukes if we get him (understand you didn't include guys who aren't verbals yet).

The OL is really jacked up, you got some G's and T's mixed up.

And I'd expect a couple guys to leave after their Jr year in 2011, but fair enough if they are included.

Cool article though, we need more of this kind of stuff it makes things interesting.
