#GTvsCLEM Postgame

[IslandsofGaunilo]

Yeah, Orlovsky went through it on air but why in the hell was Clemson in the gun? Just run a QB sneak and game is over. That was terrible coaching

A lot of teams might be unable to run from under center in the present era, so perhaps he had no choice. Otherwise, that was an ill-advised decision.

Next Two Weeks are Home Games against North Carolina and Pitt those offensive have put up some #s but are beatable. Would love to go 3-2 going into Duke and then Virginia away

Great effort by the team. Yates and Charlie Thomas are gamers.

Tough defense to beat.. but I think Yates has proved that Sims hasn’t been the answer!

 

[yeti92]

He was coping an attitude too and a coach was on his $$$

I would too if I was him and got told to fair catch at the 20 instead of trying to return the kick

Good, hard fought game. Couldn’t ask for anything more from the players. Coaches still take odd timeouts.

Unsure whether Clemson O is just bad this year, but we’ll know more next week.

I know I should not do this...but I could not resist running over to TigerNet to see what their fans were saying. They were complimentary of our team and the effort, grit, toughness, etc. we displayed but what they had to say about the offensive coaches is not fit for a family forum such as this. I can't exactly remember who Tony Elliot is, (offensive coordinator perhaps?) but they were ready to fire him under the goal posts after the game. As for DJ, well, he is no longer the fair haired boy. They were bitching about holding calls not being made by officials, the onside kick, the safety, being beat by NC State next week, so on and so forth. Gee, you would have thought they lost to Northern Illinois or something.

If I did my numbers right, Yates’ QBR for the game was 112. He had a 61% completion percentage and 6.2 ypc.

UVA has 364 passing on UNC at halftime (15 carries 3 yards rushing). Howell has 249 and 3 scores too. Shootout next week?

 

[BleedGoldNWhite21]

Very proud of this team. Still some questionable clock management and a few head scratching decisions, but overall, the best game in CGC tenure. We score more offensive points on this defense than UGA. We only gave up 2 TDs. A lot of positives. We don’t play another team of this level until UGA, so let’s go get some Ws

 

[JoJaTeck]

I don’t think he liked it either. It was visible. Ballers wanna ball.

Choice was in his ear after missing a block on 1st or 2nd down - probably in Choices dog house for the last 2 plays

I don’t know if Clemson is falling off, we’re improving, or a little of both, but I’ll take it. Even if Clemson is falling off, I refuse to believe that Dabo let his team go from 5 consecutive years of dominance (and about a decade of being very good) to being terrible over the course of a single offseason. Way to fight it out, boys!

Clemson still has four and five stars at every position. Credit to the coaches for a good game plan and players for executing it. Lousy holding penalty cost us in the first half. Otherwise we are tied and it’s a different game. Didn’t like the play calling at the end but thought otherwise game plan was pretty solid.

 

[Heisman's Ghost]

Biggers is gonna be … big … for us once he gets an off-season in him.

One day soon...he will be...larger than life. Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[GTLorenzo]

Great effort. Yates is a gamer and clear leader. Don’t see how you can not play him when Sims gets back. Great job by players and coaches. Let’s build on it and get the W next week.

 

[yeti92]

Defense played well obviously, though I don't understand the constant 3 man front when they are running right at us. Offense did decent, too much sputtering and bad playcalling in the red zone, which has been a CGC hallmark, but at least we could get field goals this time. Yates is the guy going forward, just makes good decisions more often than not. A lot to build on, I hope we qre able to.

Yates is the answer bottomline... If he started that 1st game we win and I've watched the kid since High School he's a winner, quick reader and solid fundamental passer.... people who hark about arm strength If you put your passes on the right spot on time you don't have to have the strongest arm says Dree Brees and Russel Wilson

 

[Tech93]

Yates will find a way to get us 6 wins this year

Is it time to lock the "Fire Geoff Collins" thread?

that was 2 weeks ago, but who's counting

For real. He played a great game in Death Valley. Threw it away when needed, made big plays when things broke down.
Jordan Yates: put me on your back man

He's got years to grow too

Comments based off of data...?

TBH, I was hoping to see Smith a little more at the end
