they lost to Syracuse., Stop it.
We got worked because Manny was afraid and Rosier sucks.
As that game went on, you saw how their seniors kept control of the game, even with that green quarterback of theirs. They couldn’t pull that off against Bama, but they could against us, because they had championship game experience as a unit that we didn’t have. That goes double for that coaching staff.
The Transitive Property doesn’t work in football. We beat Syracuse. Clemson’s loss to Syracuse said nothing about the relative strength of the two programs in 2017.
We may be MUCH closer to them in 2018. We could beat them, in fact. However, I have my doubts with Manny, increasingly, given the performance of the secondary last year.
Oddly enough, the run defense had a reasonably good outing against the Tigers, which is not generally known.
