We probably won't win by just rushing at them.We need AT LEAST 2 more things--turnovers (net 2 to us) and successful passing.
We've played Venables several years and he throws no surprise punches. We know exactly what's coming. Their guys are quick, strong, and great at defeating blocks......
I agree 100%. Clemson is going to rely on defeating blocks and being more physical since they have a big advantage in that area. They would be stupid to try and get away from their strength which comes from being better athletes than the other team.
Just like we had little trouble with Jax State (who is undefeated outside of our game) due to our physical dominance, Clemson will have little problem with us if they execute like they can.
This is the best team we will see this year and we are at their home and after a bye and after an upset defeat.
I agree w everything BUT. ND is for real. (I hate to say it). If NCST proves me wrong that really says something about the ACC this yearWe can't start slow, if we can weather the initial onslaught and home field crowd and stay close it'll be huge for our confidence.
Then limit the mistakes and see what happens ... they didn't blow-out WF at home !
I would take;
Wake +3
UVA +3
NC State to upset ND straight-up
I think we'll score at least 24 and possibly 30 points. Clemson will have a tough time scoring 39 points to cover. You should be good.I got in at 14.5.
We've covered inn the last 10 games. Ride the wave.....
Line is -14 now. I like the over at 49 as well. I think Vegas is expecting a 31-17 Clemson win.I think we'll score at least 24 and possibly 30 points. Clemson will have a tough time scoring 39 points to cover. You should be good.
Nooooooo! Last time we went there, it was a miserable day standing in the rain for hours. And that was a noon game. I really hope it stops raining by kickoff. The whole environment is a lot more fun when it’s dry.Weather forecast right now is calling for rain on Saturday, hopefully, this team is ready now for the field conditions. After Miami, rain just makes me cringe
Well at least we should be used to by now. Maybe it gives us an advantage!Clemson weather for Saturday per intellicast website ... baaaaad news !!

On the other side... Watching the Tigers run down that hill, could turn into a hilarious slip and slide! Just saying....Nooooooo!

I always thought this was the dumbest thing ever. One guy trips 4-5 others are f#%ked. I don't understand why they even attemp it.On the other side... Watching the Tigers run down that hill, could turn into a hilarious slip and slide! Just saying....
Maybe not the dumbest thing ever... John Smoltz went on the DL his rookie season for ironing a shirt without taking it offI always thought this was the dumbest thing ever. One guy trips 4-5 others are f#%ked. I don't understand why they even attemp it.
There are already so many non-contact knee injuries during the flying chest-bumps, surely a 45* turf incline is a disaster waiting to happen. Add that they like to jump down it.I always thought this was the dumbest thing ever. One guy trips 4-5 others are f#%ked. I don't understand why they even attemp it.
If it’s raining it should dampen the sound from the crowd.
Nothing worse than being drunk, wet, and cold. Could lead to some early exits.
