I need a readers digest version from all of you who are basketball gurus. We have a lot to clean up, we aren’t a team yet, and defense needs considerable work, but, in your estimation is the team more athletic this year? Are we playing faster?

I’ll have to double check to be sure but I believe Texas A&M’s worse loss this year was to Miami and we beat Miami so….coaching tips?

If Syracuse isn’t a threat to pass, or at least isn’t a threat to hurt us deep, we could virtually play goal line defense on every play. I don’t mean that literally but you get the idea. An 8 or 9 man front, making sure you have a deep center fielder at safety and two cornerbacks to cover man...

Rivalry games aren’t as cut and dried as other games in terms of point spreads or outcomes. I knew at the beginning of the year that Miami vs FSU would be a close game. Anyone who didn’t hasn’t been paying attention. But I expect Louisville and FSU to beat their rivals.

Yeah, weirdly, Louisville has been dissed all season even though they’ve had a solid season. The problem is they didn’t get all the preseason love that some other teams got. Even though they would absolutely destroy Tennessee or Mississippi if they played them, those teams were just “assumed”...

I think we are saying we like chaos. 😊

The other thing that struck me about this game is that we started off playing the best defense we have played all year. Even the announcers were marveling at the improvement they were seeing in the D. Then we left several points on the field, Clemson got a questionable TD and gained...

That’s the way the game looked to me in real time. Early, it looked like we had picked up where we left off with Virginia. A common pattern I see with teams that get behind is they get more conservative and the other team squeezes their chances of success down even more, or a team tries to...

That’s reasonable. The difficulty sometimes is lack of a common opponent. Then pollsters have to extrapolate based on records against teams that had high preseason rankings. Evidence, other than record and eyeball test, can be scant. That leaves us with grabbing at the least little thing to...

College football rankings still baffle me. Did anyone on here really believe Mississippi was the number 10 team in the country? I certainly didn’t. And if you did I would like to know why. Likewise, I still think Tennessee is very mediocre this year in spite of all the love they got in the...

Yep, I was hoping we would play the Clemson team that played Duke, Wake Forest and Clemson. Instead we got an even better version of the Clemson team that played FSU.

On offense I saw Clemson hold on almost every play. But I’ve never gotten over the rule change from a few years ago. Seems you can grab jersey as long as your hands are close to your body, or you don’t get caught.

This was a big part of our problem today. We had several plays that were effective early. It was clear to me that these plays constituted enough of a rotation to keep Clemson off balance, which they most decidedly were. But then the rotation starting breaking down. False starts, poor throws...

Singleton wasn’t the only one dropping passes but his seemed to start the self destruction by the offense.

Which other really bad games has he had for us?

Seemed like the more WRs dropped the ball the more desperate he became to make a play and started forcing the ball.

…and he dropped another one.

Do we need to sit Singleton for a few plays next week at the beginning of the game? The last few games make it seem like he is getting perilously close to becoming a head case. Not sure the right approach but this is three weeks in a row there were plays that, as the announcers would say, “You...

This game could have turned out differently if not for Tech shooting itself in the foot early and often. I knew if Tech lost its rhythm and Clemson gained confidence this could turn ugly. Too bad because Tech is not as far behind Clemson as this game suggests.
