vs. UL- Kyle Bolin, back-up QB making his first start.
vs. ND- DeShone Kizer back-up QB.
vs. GT- Justin Thomas running back playing QB.
vs. BC - True freshman back-up QB Jeff Smith making his 2nd start.
So not counting the QB's from Wofford and Appalachian State, Clemson has faced 3 young inexperienced back-ups and one running back.
Kaaya and crew gonna have them shell shocked.
Why not address the opposite side of this? QBs Miami has faced:
Bethune Cookman - Quentin Williams. FCS QB.
FAU - Jaquez Johnson for one drive, then we made backup redshirt freshman Jason Driskell look great for 2 quarters.
Nebraska - Tommy Armstrong. He's awful, but we made him look like a Heisman contender in the 4th quarter.
Cincinnati - Backup redshirt freshman Hayden Moore led Cincy to a double-digit victory over us.
FSU - Everett Golson. Good player.
Virginia Tech - Backup Brenden Motley may be the worst QB we faced all season. He was horrendous.
We've faced an FCS QB and three backups in six games, including one who led his team to victory over Miami. Armstrong is a terrible QB of a sub-.500 team who has never completed more than 54% of his passes in a season (including this one). Golson is the only good QB we've faced, and he's been a game manager for them all season aside from the Louisville game last Saturday.
And now we're about to go up against Deshaun Watson, who's far better than anyone we've faced to date. But hey, feel free to delude yourself because that's more fun to do, right?
