[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 249377, member: 639"] I'll be watching the replay tonight. As always, it shows me stuff I didn't see during the game. A few comments: I am proud of us, as a board. I was hesitant to come on here, but this thread reflects a constructive and proper reaction to the butt whoopin we took. I haven't read any craziness I expected. As has been said, we got handled plain and simple. Dabo didn't call his team off. He played to win the game and his defense was in complete control. When that is the case, you don't go for the 4th and shorts near midfield. You punt the ball and make the inept opponent (us) have to go the distance. Even taking a minute chance of not moving the chains is not worth the risk when you are up 3 scores. He ran the ball a little more to burn clock, but he took some shots too, just to keep us playing honest D. Make no mistake, the score would have been higher if our offense was threatening. Our D did not play great. But, it did play well enough for us to win the game. If our offense was as effective as I was hoping (dreaming), we would have had a good chance to win. I never expected we would STOP them. We didn't, but we did keep them in check. Our defense is not a train wreck. If we continue on the same track, they will have given us a chance for a good season. Clemson looked like they were selling out to stop our run, if you looked at the the number of Orange shirts that filled the lanes. But every time I watched to see how they were lining up, it was pretty standard 3-4. They just whipped us one on one that bad, so bad that it looked like they were coming with 9 guys. To my eye, from the north stands, nowhere did the blocking deficiency look worse than with skill players in space and OLs at the second level. They handled us on the inside too, but I don't think it was as dramtic a difference. When I perused the field, their skill guys on both sides just looked so much bigger than ours. Some of those Clemson ball carriers can really put a foot in the ground. Some feel like we played without heart. I really don't think that is the case. I have seen this out of my teams before, many times. If you ask me, we were tight. We played tight, and if anything, we put too much pressure on the outcome of this game. This team of ours wants to get the taste of 2015 out of their mouths so bad. I get it, but it doesn't help execution, when your brain starts working that way. Football is a game of emotion and excitement is great, but when you want stuff too bad....... think about our record vs UGA. Silver lining: I am proud of JT. He didn't show his a$$ and start pressing or making stupid decisions. His team gave him a crap sandwich to eat, and he did the best he could do with it, staying within the framework of what we do. The only guy who forced a play was a rookie BB trying to play QB for one snap. [/QUOTE]
