[QUOTE="gt13, post: 824859, member: 369"] I thought this coaching staff turned in their worst performance of their GT career vs NIU. Last week they made visible improvements and seemed to make the right decisions, call the right plays, and the team seemed to execute much better. Tonight I think they took a step forward. They stacked weeks. They outcoached Clemson and their unlimited resources. They came in and had a plan and executed. The huddle was genius. The defensive calls were great and the Clemson second TD was more depth and attrition than anything else. If we were able to punch in a TD on just one of those three drives inside the ten you’re looking at the upset. The play calling in the red zone has always been a little bit suspect but if just one of those plays works then it’s a different story. As for the players - they played well enough for the win. They went toe to toe with a roster laden with 5* talent. I would argue they outplayed Clemson in most phases of the game. They out gained Clemson 309-284. More drives into the red zone. More pass yards per attempt. The only piece that was missing was the interior run game - but we were running into the teeth of perhaps the top defense in the nation. And even so, Mason was able to spring a few. We had a few more penalties than I would like (some were questionable) but I think the entire program took a massive step forward tonight. They showed they can compete with the best. That is the closest we’ve played Clemson since 2014. It is visible progression we are finally seeing. They just need to keep improving week over week and year over year. It’s an extremely young roster. But this I think is one of the most promising signs of the rebuild we have seen if not THE most promising sign. [/QUOTE]
