Clemson Game Open - GT opens at 26.5-27 point dog

[wvGT11]

About what I thought. Our D has to really show up at the beginning of the game, we can't have another blocked kick and offense needs to control the snaps and penalities. We can at least be competitive if we can do those things

Upsetting #1 Clemson would be sweet in any scenario, but upsetting #1 Clemson potentially the same day Alabama puts a huge dent in UGA’s championship hopes would be unbelievably sweet.

Clem's son is as close to a machine as I've seen any team look. I'll be there routing hard for our boys, but I don't see how we keep it within 35. I'm thinking a 56-14 type game. We maybe get 2 stops on 10 possessions.

I think the targeting play angered the Clemson staff. Lawrence could have been badly injured on that play.

It was pretty bad but what did they expect playing Miami. Miami is going to do Miami things. It is what they do.

 

[Heisman's Ghost]

I do not see this as a weakness, but their DL is not the strength of their defense this year. Their LBs and DBs are all potential Sunday players. Does that help us? No.

Damn, do you mean to tell me that Clemson does not have hulking monsters on the defensive line? Hell officially freezes over, details at 11. Now, I see that someone said that even though they are young they have a bunch of former 5 stars playing on the defensive line. Yep, that's the Tigers I know.

 

[Heisman's Ghost]

Clemson is a great team, but they aren’t machines. We are way better than last year and they are still very good to great. We have some playmakers who will make some plays. When on defense I may close my eyes because Lawrence will shred us. But coming off the “big“ game with Miami and a noon start I see them playing down a bit. Our guys have nothing to lose. Choice and Moore will have the boys pumped to play. I think we cover due to lackadaisical play by Clemson.

I don't agree with you but the timing is pretty good coming off a very physical game for the Tigers with Miami. I still think they will cover the four touchdown spread with ease.

Well, The Coloradojacket is flying in Thursday and will be in the house, aka Grant Field....and that has to account for something.

Just want to see a competitive game make them earn I'll be thrilled. If I get a game were we are some how still within 2 possessions of them at start of 4th and not a ton of penalties and turnovers Ill be estatic. Happiness for me is simply 38-21 or something like that.

 

[SteamWhistle]

We’re gonna get ran lol I wouldn’t touch that with a 10 ft. Pole. Just ready to get out of this game and hope everyone stays healthy.

Their stats aren't that impressive this year. Just saying

Whose stats?

 

[SWATlien]

Call me crazy but I think GT will put up a very good fight against them.

 

[Kennethshannon20]

Whose stats?

Clemson. Looking past the points that stats are not that impressive considering what everyone thinks and expects of them.

 

[GCdaJuiceMan]

This line is about where is saw it opening. Definitely looking forward to see where the late money comes in. Hopefully we don’t have any covid situations effect that.

We will be lucky to gain 200 yards of offense.

Game finishes 49 Clemson, 13 GT. 7 TDs for Clemson. They will want to get away from this game uninjured. No point in getting guys hurt in a cupcake game. We score 2 TDs in the 4th when we play their 2nd and 3rd string.

They just put the hammer on a far improved Miami team. Us playing true freshman at key positions will kill us in a game like this.
I just want to see a clean game penalty wise. No injuries. Would love to see the defense cause some pressure. Don't expect much from the offense. Maybe 200ish total yards. 120ish coming from Gibbs Air and Land.

Defense will likely give up 500+ yards of offense and 6+ TDs. Hopefully we can get some turnovers and show we can get pressure on the QB. I don't expect sacks, just some QB hurries.
Hurries would be a huge improvement from last year. Clemson may not be hurried the whole game though. I'll say this, if we don't play Knight instead of Curry we will get TOASTED by Entienne. He will run for 200 yards on us. Curry will get juked out of his shoes. Need speed at Linebacker for this game.

We though UCF was fast... wait till both sides of the ball are faster than UCF was on offense.

If we do anything better than 13 points and 250 yards I will consider it a win.

When we play Dabo, he has most of his starters still in the game well into the 4th quarter even when it’s a blowout. He wants to beat the spread and he doesn’t care about “risking his players in a cupcake game”. He’s a show off clown, which is why he tried to kick a 61 yard field goal in the rain against Miami and designs plays like this one LOL.

 

[Scubapro]

The only way we score and even sniff at covering in this game is if someone leaves a bag of Colorado style gummy bears in Clemson's locker room.

 

[305jacket]

We should be able to put up 14 points based off of the # of possessions we should get this game, Clemson plays so quickly (or maybe 12/13 depending if we ever learn how to block XPs).

I expect Clemson to score on about 60-70% of their possessions, probably getting up to low/mid 40s.

A spread of 28 sounds about right, with our failure to convert XPs could make the difference on the hook whichever way the line goes.

Two years ago, Dabo pulled the starting QB for a true freshman against us. Technically true.

OK, if we get another extra point blocked we will know who to blame.
