Judiciously. I don't think it works all that well and is certainly not a foundation to build a program upon. It is true there can be an occasional gold nugget even for a program like Tech but this is not the way to go in building a solid program. IMHO

I originally predicted that we would win 5 and no bowl. Still holding to that but the Syracuse game will be interesting. The Orange have gone into a tailspin losing five in a row but that could change with our game. I see this as a coin flip getting to six wins but we will see.

Maybe but he was under duress the entire game. Haynes is a gunslinger and like most of his tribe is going to blow hot and cold. Clemson applied consistent pressure and would not allow him to get loose for long runs. They played exceptionally well even given their talent. Our lines, both...

I don't know about "elite" but I was impressed considering the relative youth of the Clemson defense. We are not even in the same league with them right now.

35-7 It might as well be. Clemson's defense completely dominated this game. They have recruited well on that side of the ball and it shows. Our offensive line is still a work in progress and it shows. IIWII

21-7 Too Tall. You might want to rethink that thought. Not all 5-4 records are created equal. Our defense is not up to the task today of stopping Shipley.

To beat Georgia Tech will not require the Clemson defense to be "elite" just its usual physical self in getting to the quarterback and stuffing the run. They are 5-4 but not "just like us".

The primary, though not the only, problem with the defense is the play of the linebackers. We really miss the combination of Charlie Thomas and the other one (Ace?) The recruiting focus needs to be on, well, everything but defense in particular especially linebackers and linemen.

Do you think Clemson would be better off with DJ? My church Clemson friends despise him and were glad to see him go but I don't think there is any doubt that DJ has impressive physical ability as warranted by his five star accolades coming out of high school.

To tell you the truth, I would rather see Shipley than that big number 7 though I will grant you that Shipley is more of a threat coming out of the backfield as he has better hands.

After watching Clemson beat Notre Dame, I am inclined to favor the Tigers by 10 points in a relatively low scoring game. I can see where Clemson's mounting injuries, lack of playmakers at receiver (by their lofty standards) and a possible emotional and physical let down from playing the Irish...

That was SEC fans in a bar that had been drinking too much their entire miserable lives to the point of destroying what few brain cells that were still working. SEC fans of teams that faced the triple option did not want any part of it afterwards. Kentucky fans were complaining after that bowl...

I don't have time for that sort of thing.

I don't know either but two things did stand out to me about Clemson that I failed to mention in my earlier post. First of all, they are a very good tackling team. The corners are aggressive in challenging the wide receiver screens. Secondly, I had thought that Kublick (spelling?) was...

Maybe not but they are the kind of team that looks good getting off the bus.

I would submit that the reason for Hartman's relative ineffectiveness is because every time in the second half he went back to pass some SOB in orange had their hands in his face. Clemson will pressure Haynes relentlessly unless we can figure out a way to throw quick passes and run the ball to...

My impressions from watching the condensed game. 1) Clemson has the best defensive line we will have faced. If they know you have to pass, they are relentless. Hartman was under duress the entire second half it seemed. 2) As "Ballin" pointed out number 7 for Clemson is better than Shipley...

After reading all these comments, I am left wondering if Clemson fans would like to have DJ back instead of the one they have now (Klubick?) I poised that question to the two rabid Clemson fans at church Sunday and they looked at me like I was crazy. Of course, DJ has managed to lose the...
