e need to give our very best effort on every play of the game to be successful. Come to think of it, we need to do that in every game. Not sure we have done that in every game, but now would be a great time to start. This game could be huge for us, with a win.

Player not tought to give very best on every play.

And as far as matching physical play, that begins in the weight room, so we are not going to be able to match.

I don't know how much weight room stuff either team does. LSU is very strong and very physical. I don't think we are to their level yet, but to just presume that our guys aren't working as much as they are may be a leap. I don't know enough about Batson's program, but I don't know anything about LSU's either, so I don't presume. They don't seem to need to rely on gimmick as much as we, but sometimes those are coaching philosophy differences. I certainly would love for us to be the most physical team.

You are absolutely right---and it has to be year-round. I"m really hoping that somehow we can upset LSU, but you don't become "physical" in three weeks. You'd think coaches (the "experts") would know this or recognized it long before this.

How about making physical play part of our culture - then we would have something special.

He's right though. The O line has to execute. Not only that, but our D has to be able to get the ball back when they don't.

How physical has practice been?
Dec 17, 2012, 11:34 AM
|
|
If they're playing flag football and grab-arse during practice, I fully expect that we'll be soft during the game. BUT I'm more worried about the D being physical.

Just like the national championship. Clemson can't beat teams with NFL talent on defense...

Exactly!!! We scored enough points to win the game against a second string coot QB if we would have had any defense.

The results. Bowden 1-8, Dabo 0-6 vs non-con AP final poll.
Dec 17, 2012, 5:00 PM
|
|
And Dabo is 3-10 in upset games-- getting upset by inferior teams far more than he upsets superior teams.
Bowden & Dabo have done fine against non-AQ cupcakes and ACC also-rans, but against the good non-con teams (i.e. the ones who finish ranked in the AP Final Poll and don't benefit from a cake schedule) Bowden's & Dabo's teams have generally gotten manhandled-- especially by the physical teams. Bowden had one shining moment when he upset a good Tennessee team in the Peach Bowl. And Dabo's team played tough in the 2009 OT loss to Auburn, but otherwise we might have to look back to the Hatfield years for a time when Clemson "out-physicalled" a good, big-boy team.

I thought we did a very good job in the first 20 mins or so with play calling. AE and HotRod were having good success running. Then poof, we went to pass, pass, pass, punt offense.

Clemson would knock the Hell out of you up until about 91. When Danny's influence started disappearing. We've seen flashes of improvement ( Auburn 2010, VT games 2011), but yeah it's time to start beating people down every week! Win or lose the other guy should be saying they don't want to play Clemson again.

LSU plays 8-10 on the D front...yet they want to play 4-6 the entire game........You need to be two deep and play them all......why do you think Fords teams were so hard to wear out? Ford played everyone as long as they did what he wanted them to do.

Chad finally weighed in on the USC game here after a month of silence. And if you read the basic message and b/w the lines, he felt we were fine in that game, and blamed the defense for not getting him the ball.
