Poll included.
Clemson 45 GT 7Poll included.
CU 49 GT 7 ... SS-DD from CPJ, I REALLY wish I felt differently, but there it is, but at least we have GO Braves-Beat Phillies this weekend !!
My Braves prediction based on past Braves teams: Braves go to World Series and get swept by the Red Sox.
Carry on.

I like your optimism. However given how Clemson has played our offense recently, I don't think 6-8 minute drives are possible. They have been sending the kitchen sink with cornerbacks, safeties and linebackers all running to the line. If we are going to beat them, it will take busting that charge with some big plays and short drive times.Good news: Clemson offense is in a bit of a stalling pattern so far. They've been rotating QBs trying to work in their phenom freshmen QB Trevor Lawrence.
Bad news: The cure for a bad offense is usually GT's defense (I kid...kinda)
I like what I saw from our defense the 2nd half of Pitt. I think our defense plays a lot better this game. Defense HAS TO "steal" a couple of possessions for our offense from turnovers or short possessions.
Offensively, we need to play ball control. I'd like to see us work more midline, and speed option. Quick hitting plays that we can keep ahead of schedule with. We need drives of 6-8 minutes that end with scores. Since we used a lot of speed option against Pitt, I don't see CPJ really using it all that much. CPJ doesn't like to do heavy doses of anything two games in a row.
I'll stick to what I said in another thread. I think it'll be a lot closer than what we think...and will go down to the last couple of possessions. Our boys are going to fight like heck in front of the home crowd!
No score prediction.
I have a weird feeling we win this one somehow. But still finish with a disappointing season at 4-8 or 6-6 at best.
