Death valley at night is no joke. If they manage to pull that upset off and we both are undefeated, watch out. Would be prime time, game day, top 5 team vs top 12 team. All of a sudden our schedule won't look so easy.

I would love this.

Clemson gets a lot of noon games. IDK what it is, but I think I read somewhere they try to influence the TV execs and openly lobby for noon games.

I think it’s because how the town swells in numbers on gameday and the lack of parking. Probably would rather deal with those issues in the daylight. However I feel confident this will be a night game
 
One of maybe 4 teams in the country with a wideout duo or trio that scare me. I trust their secondary coach and Tom Allen to get it right this year.

On the road there isn't the easiest place to play, either.

I just think they lack talent in the trenches, and it will be too lopsided there. Especially the OL vs our DL. And not good enough or mobile enough at QB to overcome that.

its our toughest ACC game thats the only reason why people are labeling this game as a possible L

Truth is we are the much better team at this point. We could still lose, but we could also win convincingly.
 
I hope LSU destroys them and they implode by the time we show up. I don’t want them to have any fight left. We don’t need that game to have a competitive Clemson team for it to matter for the CFP.
 
**** Lane and them ….but I think LSU D will be legit.. they are returning lots of talent and their Secondary will be one of the best units in the country

I don’t see Clumpson winning that game

I hope Clemson beats LSU bc I hate how everybody in college football sports media is saying Miami won’t be challenged until Notre Dame to downplay a win on the road at Clemson. I don’t care if they lose to UNC or Cal right after but beating LSU would change the narrative.

Does anyone have any intel on the type of team their fans expect to see this year? Bc they’re getting overlooked (not by our team) like it’s Boston College.

All I can tell you is about their quarterback position and what I can tell you about that is, it’s not very good. Not very good at all!

Clemson still has talent, and is a proud program. If anyone here thinks they won't give Miami their best shot you are kidding yourselves.

Dabo is feeling the pressure up here some now.

He has hired 2 new coordinators last 2 seasons with Tom Allen last season and going back to the start of the great Clemson offense run bringing back Chad Morris as OC.

Dabo brought in like 10 portal players, fans were clamoring for portal QB, but he is riding with Chris Vizzina. He started one game vs. SMU last season looked decent.

They have talent still.

Davidson and former Miami Chris Johnson Jr. at RB, both of them can run.

WR duo may only be 2nd in ACC behind Miami in Moore and Wesco.

OL has increased in talent, bigger more athletic bodies with Matt Luke at OL coach, but they are little like Miami inexperienced at OL.

On defense strength of defense will be Heldt and Lawson the DE's and Sammy Brown at LB.

The secondary was horrendous last season they brought in Washington a CB from Penn State, and 2 talented productive G5 safeties.

Hampton is othet CB and top 100 NFL prospect.

How good can Vizzina be will determine if this team goes 10-2 or 7/8 win type team.

They could have 4 top 100 NFL picks in 2027 NFL draft with Heldt, Brown, Hampton, and one of those WR's. Potentially 6-7 total NFL picks so still talented enough to beat Miami at home if Miami doesnt play well.

By FAR Miami's 2nd toughest game of season.

Sure. But they weren’t devoid of talent last year either.

QB play is a major question mark. Then Dabo brought in a retread. They might be improved, but Morris hasn’t coordinated a decent offense since Al Golden was coaching here.

I’m not saying they won’t be one of our tougher tests. But I will be thoroughly shocked if Hetherman doesn’t eat their lunch all game long.
 
I saw a tweet the other day that LSU is like 120-15 at night at home. Think they beat Clemson convincingly. Also think they’ll be our 2nd toughest game of the year.
 
Death Valley. The crowd is a big motivator for them. This will not be easy. Since I live here in Clemson land, I hope we beat the **** out of them.

Bryant Wesco & TJ Moore are legit.

Plus they have the TF Naeem Burroughs who's a speedy Slot WR with explosive playmaking ability.

They have the weapons at WR, TE & RB.

The big questions with them is QB & OL.

Their OL is extremely young, even younger than ours & their QB Vizzina despite being a Senior has very little in game experience.

TBD on RB. Not sold on CJJr aside from the speed. I was super high on Gideon Davidson last year but he did nothing and they had to play a WR at RB because he wasn't ready.

Weapons might be right because its pure speed but I think they're gonna struggle to run the ball again this year.
