Stanford QB is a gamer with a zippy arm. Man up more Heatherman so the d-line can get home more often.

Is this 2024 all over again

Not even close man.

It’d be 28-24 if it were

The last time we saw this team play, they were a championship caliber team that had played 15+ weeks of football. This is game one and we got plenty of time to get better as a team, and we have a schedule that allows us to do it without losing a bunch of games. I have some concerns too, but let’s all enjoy this journey. It’s going to be an epic season.

GO CANES!!!

Any Omar Thornton thoughts?

Any oj update?

DE is getting most of the attention but tbh I expected DT pick up pass rush slack. Not so much so far

To give them the benefit of doubt, Stanford is essentially doubling both of them most plays and keeping one of their 6 TE's to help one of the tackles on on the outside.

True

Im not saying I disagree but Hetherman is really vanilla on purpose

Agree
We see a bit more at WF
Then we see it all At Clemson

I think they are playing well. Almost zero pressure up front is far more alarming to see.

We were a much more complete team week 1 of last year than this year

 

[FrancisSawyer]

Lucas is a bad player

@Memnon is always right.

Nothing really surprising so far for me but the lack of pressure is a bit disappointing

Defense will need some time to replace 3,4,0,8 but guys like Blount and Lightfoot are emerging. Thornton is a goon and his blitzing really helps

OL needs time

But Mensah and the WR are elite elite

Want to see a Fitz come up with a turnover

Need OJ back
