Our team thrives under pressure and with everyone counting us out. Right now no one believes we even have a chance to beat Clemson. Everyone is saying we're trash and overrated. Richt will use this as a way to motivate our team!

Sorry OP but IMO we obviously don’t respond to pressure or we’d still be undefeated. We couldn’t handle the pressure of being the #2 team in the nation. All we had to do is beat a 4-7 team and we were golden but no we’re gonna need help.

If UGA beats Bama I just dont see the committee putting a 1 loss miami over 1 loss Bama in playoffs with all the hate we get. any other team is in but nervous about us . just Beat Clemson then its gonna get interesting !!

You guys are trying to make yourselves feel better by saying this.

You are right, so are they. But here’s the reality: we’re 10-1, Coastal Champs, a chance to go to the big dance. Better than 9-4 last year, worse than next year. I had predicted a 10-2 season to myself. So far, we’re on a better trajectory.

To be honest, this offense has been teetering with this for a while.

The OL has been horrible, not opening a lane for **** for RBs. Walton's talent hid that. Rosier's running hid some of it too. The RBs not being able to do **** has hurt.

Rosier had some bad throws. Berrios dropped two also.

Herndon going down kills us, Jr is not ready.

Richards hasn't been right all season. He will need the off season to heal up.

We have some small young receivers, but we have no receivers this year that have length and speed. No over the top fade route receivers. Berrios has been filling in, but he doesn't have that 6-3 6-4 frame to go over bigger DBs.

The D has been solid. We need to look to an alternative to McCloud, he shouldn't be a starter.

To be honest, we just don't have the stars on offense, but this class closes some of those holes.

Which two did Berrios drop? The one behind him and the other on the ground at his feet?

Yeah losing is good. I love losing. Gtfo with that.

There is a lot to be gained from a loss. I am with you on this. Think UM vs UW in 2000. Hoping they wake the f up and come out guns blazing against Clemson. GO CANES!!!

This team can’t run the ball and can’t convert on 3rd down. A lot of games have had our rushing yards skewed by long runs including last year. A team that is last in the fbs on 3rd down and near the bottom in red zone offense is a team that can’t run. Our defense is worn out from all those 3 and outs and going 100mph on almost every play. Don’t think that’s how you win the natty. We’ve had a great season. So unless we’re holding something back I don’t see us as acc champs against Clemson.
I think what this staff has done is amazing for the players we have and lack of depth at running back o line and tight end so I’m not too bummed out. Still think the future is bright

 

[mirednmediocrity2]

Yeah, I'm glad we lost too. I hate playing for National Championships. Was worried there for a while that we might play for one and maybe even win one. Whew! Disaster averted. Thanks, Pitt!

If we beat Clemson we're still in.

We'll not beating Clemson. Just hope for a two loss season and a decent bowl win. Team still has too any holes, especially at QB, followed by OL and STs.
Next year...maybe. Surprised we've done this well as weak as this team is at key positions.

This team will be loaded next year.

I was wrong, he dropped more than that.

He had 6 thrown to that he didn't catch. Three hit his hands for drops.

1. 2Q 3rd and 7, Miami 50 at 14:01 (should have caught)
2. 3Q 2nd and 9, Miami 25, at 14:35 (was thrown in front of him, but he didn't run it out, but doubt he could have caught it).
3. 3Q 3rd and 9, Miami 44, at 10:09 (should have caught)
4. 3Q 2nd and 10, Miami 24, at 1:08 (was thrown high, he couldn't have caught it).
5. 3Q 2nd and 10, Miami 35, at :31 (off his hands, should have caught).
6. 4Q 2nd and 10, Miami 32, at 12:51 (went threw his hands, should have caught).

Team was sleep walking. But mobile was the worst.

I'm super ****ed we lost. I'm super ****ed we ruined a perfect Reg season. My family does not want to be around me right now. Ruined my whole weekend .

With all that said, if this wakes the team up and puts a chip on their shoulder next week, I'd rather lose this one then next weekend.

 

[407cane]

Was just gonna make a thread about this

Never good to lose but this game didn't matter even in the slightest

If we beat Clemson we're in and if we lose were out (without help) going into today.

Losing this game just means we need to beat Clemson and our guys will be ****ed off which is setting up for a Clemson *** kicking next weekend I guarantee it

 

[407cane]

Bump


Can you guys even step back and realize that a thread like this exists..

We've won 15 straight games and our QB just played his worst game ever and we lose to a sorry team and there is..wait for it....

Optimism

Because we know that no team plays better in the country in primetime when everyone is counting them out


We beat Clemson guaranteed, no way our players are gonna be okay with a loss and not do some drastic **** to change it

I would be MORE worried about facing Miami after a loss rather than us squeaking out another win

 

[MExtraMon9y]

I agree

 

[ThomasM]

I'd rather lose this game that the ACC title game. However, since losing this game guarantees nothing, I wish we would have won it.

 

[Ammok]

Yep, that's the hope. This team needs to be big underdogs to respond with some fire, unfortunately

 

[jkaz1]

No.
