I'd be amazed if we beat Clemson this year. If we hung with them and traded blows, that would be a statement and make the country sit up.
Of course we'd have to back it up and beat the rest of our schedule. THAT'S been our downfall the last 15+ years. It's all well and goods saying that the ACC is a bunch of decent / mediocre teams (I happen to think there's a few good ones sprinkled in there every year), but you have to put them away when you're not firing on all cylinders (which you're never going to be doing over a full season).
We haven't done that for a long time.
Agreed. I’d also be surprised if we beat clem. Can we? Yes. Should we and will we? I dunno. But the same could’ve been said for Miami vs UCLA.
For this team to take the next step, we gotta beat an opponent who is better than us.
I’d love to see us buck the trend of our past 15 yr. history and step up and sieze the opportunity. We haven’t done that, with any consistency, in a loooong time. It’d be nice for that to start next week.
