Just back from the game. Some 1:30AM thoughts

[SFbayCane]

Perhaps my favorite win since Notre Dame 2017. The way the team played, the Emory Williams factor, the game ending on a goal line stand. Just awesome.

• Emory Williams was playing a step slow early, even on handoffs. He caught up to the speed of the game as it went on. As well, he never looked lost or confused. He was in control of the offense throughout.
• Clemson's D was solid. We had very few times when there was anyone truly open. The fact that we wore them out was amazing.
• Once again, the Canes were the more physical team. And make no mistake, Clemson is a physical team.
• I completely agreed with Mario's approach at the end of regulation. We had those guys, you could see it in the body language. Clemson's D was wilting.
• Perhaps the most one-sided officiating Ive ever seen.
  • The block below the waist on Lee - he was tripped by the Clemson LB. When TV showed the replay, they started the video just after the trip.
  • Bad PI call on 3rd and 20 where the DB got his head around and hand on the ball.
  • No call on intentional grounding before their first TD.
  • The Safety. Absolute ACC cheating bull****. My seats are right along the goal line. I had a perfect view of that.
  • During the nine minute drive, at one point a Clemson player drops to the ground, clearly faking an injury, and the ACC Network immediately jumps in with a three minute commercial break. Giving Clemson's D a free timeout. It just seemed coordinated. lol
  • It seems to me that the worst officiated games are the ones on the ACC Network.
• What a great defensive effort.
• I totally agreed with Mario's approach at the end of regulation.
• Perfect first play call by Dawson to start the game. Let Williams throw a safe pass to Brashard Smith.
• It looked to me like Dawson tried to run a bunch of throws that Williams was used to making in his high school offense. Lots of horizontal stuff.
• Pretty energetic crowd but not great attendance. I'd guess 38K with 2K being Clemson fans.

I just liked how we were clean and didn't give them free 15 yard penalties with late hits and unsportsmanlike conduct. Don't gift them free momentum. Did a good job making them earn their way down the field

 

[grover]

Our OL has been money the entire season. Our DL has been really good, but tonight they took it to a whole new level. So impressive.

 

[AK_Cane]

The defense was zeroed in mentally they would make a play then run straight back to line up almost no chatter to get those dumb penalties. Guidry had them ready for war

 

[SSCane]

Good stuff, great analysis.
I was curious on thoughts on the officiating from someone that was at the game.
On TV, it was egregious I thought I might lose my mind. The NO safety call, was unlike anything I’ve ever seen. QB didn’t even throw it away, he went down in the endzone, and everyone whitenesses it.
They reviewed it, plain as day it was a safety and they still didn’t make the right call. They clearly don’t even try to hide their corruption. Like you said it just flat out cheating at this point.
UM administrators, can’t let this go on any longer.
This ACC referee incompetence or corruption WILL lose us more games besides GT.

 

[SSCane]

Don’t get me wrong, I think Williams did pretty well considering he was making his first start against a staut Clemson D, in a prime time game.
However, his delivery and velocity looked so slow on TV. Any pass over 10 yards looks like it takes 10 seconds to get there.

All facts


This man ain’t ever lie, everything I said I was complaining about. Did u see how the Clemson center cut block in the fourth quarter? I forgot what play it was but he snapped it and fell on purpose to cut block a DT. It was super blatant and there was no call.

 

[skyman]

Dam crowd sounded loud AF..

 

[Tinman64]

Agree on all points except end of 4th qtr approach . If we lost he would have been crucified . Again mario blows his timeouts needlessly and he handcuffs himself which forced him to play for. OT. He will cost us more games than the acc refs which all should quit for being unqualified.

 

[SSCane]

Was Dabo crying?
I imagine him breaking down and crying like a little *****.
If that didn’t happen don’t tell me,

Oh yeah?? It looks more like 45k+ to me? ****

brother was asked "you have a sports psychologist for these situations?"

he answered with "yeah, but hes probably on suicide watch"

 

[sabrose]

How about the low hit after the pass on Emory? They called that against us last week .

 

[CANEMC]

We gotta beat UVA and the refs next week.

 

[CDWright40]

Low hits is an nfl thing. That was not a bad call. The call against CC last week was ******* ridiculous.

Just ridiculousness, the Athletic Dept. is going to have to quit smiling while they take it up the *** from these clowns!

There's an explanation.

Yes, there were apparent empty seats, and the crowd noise indicated a much larger crowd.

There were some 3,300 Ninja's in the stadium - and no one saw the first one.

We'd just had a convention - and the hotel thought no one showed up for all three days.

Good stuff. Was it me, or was the DJ much better last night? At least with appropriately cutting the music off before the snap. I still could do without the cringe “club time” segments but if the kids/ recruits like it then whatever.
