Unlikely, unless they get waaaayyy better. Despite them looking good against FSU, they're a bad team. I doubt they even sniff bowl eligibility. They have a loss to Northern Illinois already and their one victory was by 3 over Holy Cross. They will fight it out with Virginia for the worst ACC team.BC will give us fits, similarly. BEsides, game is in late Nov.
They had monkey pox.Supposedly half the team had the flu, could just be an excuse but that's the rumor.
I don't see it that way. Duke made mistakes as well. Duke had 2 turnovers and gifted Clemson points as well. Clemson had 1 more turnover than Duke.Don't know yet. Clemson also 100% gave away that game to Duke. Two fumbles inside the 10 (or even 5) and a missed chipped shot FG. Literally left 17 points on the board and then Duke scored late to run it up.
I disagree. That was their "Red Bandana" game. They won't have the same effort when they play us, especially after a losing season and not being bowl eligible.BC will give us fits, similarly. BEsides, game is in late Nov.
Agree. We are a different team in the trenches than previous meetings. I think we'll boat race those yanksUnlikely, unless they get waaaayyy better.

What does the past have to with this year?Where have you been the past 20 years? We;'ve lost 3 of the last 4 up there. ****, our best team ever only managed to win by 11.
And, it hasn't really mattered if they've been good or bad.
Respectfully disagree. Clemson had 1st and Goal at the 7 and 1st and Goal at the 1 in back to back drives and fumbled both plays. The game was still 13-7 both drives. Either of those changes the game. You leave 17 points on the board in a close game, you lose.I don't see it that way. Duke made mistakes as well.

I think Duke just outplayed Clemson.
I think FSU had their bad game against BC. Every good team plays 1-2 of those games per year. Think about 2001 and how we BARELY. beat BC and V-tech. But when UM was really serious it was a wrap. I’m not comparing FSU 2023 to UM 2001, but simply pointing out that if the best team in the history of college football can play some close/bad games, certainly 2023 FSU can as well.
Same time slot as the '17 Pitt and '15 Pitt games off the top of my head.Single worst time slot of the season for a visiting team. Noon on Thanksgiving Friday.
I hate that the ACC gave us that time slot at the beginning of the season. ****ers.
You overlook Duke gifting them possessions and points. A wash.Respectfully disagree. Clemson had 1st and Goal at the 7 and 1st and Goal at the 1 in back to back drives and fumbled both plays.

Agreed, but they clearly struggle with mobile QBsI think this is going to be a much tougher game than most people realize. Clemson's defense is still very good.
It felt dirty, but I put a hundo on FSU -2.5
