-18.5 vs clemson

From a roster standpoint, it’s not even close. We have the more talented team by a mile.

But Clemson is tough and our game will be their Super Bowl.

We just need to come out and punch them in the face from jump and don’t let up. At all.

Our goal should be to embarrass that program at their home stadium and make Dabo cry and quit after the game. 11-year delayed retribution from 2015.

That game did us a favor. Got rid of nothing coach whose name I refuse to contaminate the board with
 
I think we're a horrible matchup for them. Our strength is run D and thats all they can do. If they insist on staying in man all day we'll hit them for big plays. Theyre also soft on the interior of the DL which is where we struggle. I can see weather making things weird but I still think we win by 2 scores at least.
 
If Clemson scores more than 10 points. Something went very wrong. That QB cant complete a pass out side of prayers and slants. Don't even think he's a savvy runner all the designed runs should be bottled up. They'll test us on the perimeter but I think we'll have that bottled up.
 
Im not concerned with their running game.

Clemson will absolutely be able to shred us through the air unless their passing attack is worse than FAMU and Central Michigan.

Their defense is also well coached so I'd hope to get the proper starters on the O line solidified or Mensah will be taking some hits.

Game that we should win easily but we'll be in it to the end.
 
If we have IOL figured out and the weather isn’t ridiculous we should handle this team without real issues.

If we struggle it will be because this OL struggled all night.

Their Passing attack is on par with both Central Michigan and Famu. Not sure this QB is better than anyone we saw in those 2 games lol
 
One nonsensical thing I’ve been thinking about:

Is this the week we really turn it on and start to play national championship football from opening kick to final whistle?

Hear me out. And trust me, I know this is silly. But I don’t know about you guys, but this season has sucked for me this far. Watching this team play football is the epicenter of my life, as utterly pathetic as that is to admit as a grown man with a career and family. But it’s true. So I’ve obviously been excited that we’re playing ball, it’s football season, we’re playing games, etc. But the year really has had no juice for me at all. Not one of these games has really moved the needle in the least bit to this point. I know Mario is an intense dude, the practices are intense, he doesn’t accept complacency, or mediocrity. All that stuff. You can’t play football half-assed. I get all that. But I just wonder, even subconsciously, if the kids kind of feel the same way? We’ve been a 21+ point favorite in every game. And yes, I know Clemson sucks, and the line is big again. But it’s still Clemson. That logo still gets your attention. It’s our first Saturday night, primetime game, coast to coast national TV, marquee contest.

Am I totally insane for thinking that maybe this is one we *really* get up for and it has our full, full attention. We have a bye next week. There’s nothing on the immediate horizon to look forward to. Again, I know this is dumb and pie in the sky optimism, but a part of me thinks this team is finally ready to explode against a “name brand” opponent and we see the full potential Saturday night. We usually get up pretty well to play in big games. Maybe we actually treat this like one and put on a massive show and really open some eyes on Saturday night in front of the whole country.

The other games in primetime are ***. ESPN has BYU @ TCU. Fox has Texas Tech @ Colorado. ESPN2 has Arkansas @ Texas A&M. NBC has Washington @ USC. We are, by far, the biggest and best show in town. Every person who isn’t a vested fan of the teams above will have Miami on the main screen.

How bout Mario gets these boys to go out and put on a display for the world that we are, unmistakably, not to be ****ed with?
