The adversity is great for this team, i actaully didnt want us going back to the ACC, championship with all these True freshmen only to get tossed around again. Imagine brevin and mallory trying to block anybody on clemsons d-line. The injuries to them are happening because they getting worn down, which is why redshirting is not a bad idea and irvin and polendey being hurt was crucial. So to all the people bashing coach richt, keep this in mind. Next year if healthy, we'll have 4 experienced tightends, irvin thus far is the best blocker. That alone will upgrade the offense than with hodges and possibly wydemeyer coming in. Than the cupcakes on he o-line will be replaced by more physical guys with a renewed focus by donaldson back at guard, preferably left guard. With improved widereceiver play, and if perry gets even a lil bit better this offense is gone be ****.
Who cares about crowley decommitting, i think that's his loss, besides elliot, oscar cryer's system doesnt produce to many nfl starting runningbacks, but you can find the ones coach richt coached and had something to do with easily. Once coach richt sits back and evaluates this year and realize he just has to keep doing what he's doing for the most part and keep the staff in tact, cause this is the critical year where all the systems brought should start coming to fruition. If this whole staff stays together, we'll have a better overall team because not to many players will be learning something new and they can just focus on improving within the system, we won 6 games with alot of poor execution, just wait til we start executing. Im sure it is starting to hit perry on how fast college can go by, year 3 for him is almost here that quick, so im pretty sure guys like him and the receivers will start putting that extra work in, in the offseason to not just get better but to become elite, and you dont get there just by practicing with your coaches, its what you doing in your down time that'll separate each player from the rest of the pack.
This next year is going to be the first real year where its going to be a battle royale for starting spots all over the team, no more sitting back in safety mode now. About 90% of the spots will be up for grabs this offseason, the starting qb spot, at lear 2 wideout spots. All the o-line positions, and even runningback, cause cam davis not playing with em.
Defensive side, if jackson stays, him and garvin basically got they spots locked up, the secondary should have at least 3 new starters, the d-tackle spots will be up for grabs. The linebackers, might be the same 3. Going to be real interesting come next year, and does tyrique want a spot. The official transformation into basically a coach richt team will start during bowl practices and next year.
to all of our other “fans” that are rooting for the other team, I’ll be damned if I’d let some coach drive me to the point that I’d root against Miami.
