Those guys tackle very soundly.Amazing how the talent gap between Clemson and GT has shrunk in just 2 years. It is still significant, but much smaller.

LOLNo, the coaching issues are still there. Terrible clock management. Plays not getting in, etc. Clemson played as poor a game as they could. Horrible offense by Clemson. We will play teams like UNC who can actually complete forward passes. The score looks good but the coaching issues are still right there. And not letting Gibbs return the kick is just another terrible coaching decision. So far in the 2 games against FBS teams are offense has been not good. It’s gonna take at least 35 to beat UNC and I’ve seen nothing that says Patenaude can do it. The players can but our offensive doesn’t know how.
Maybe the 7 years was more for the coaches then for the players. But I really didn't think the coaches looked that bad don't think there is a better defense then Clemson. I would have like to see 3 running plays on 1 st 2nd and 3 down .No, the coaching issues are still there. Terrible clock management.

I’ll give you clock management. That’s all.No, the coaching issues are still there. Terrible clock management. Plays not getting in, etc. Clemson played as poor a game as they could.

The concerns are all still there. Clock management still a meltdown today and our offensive game plan was as conservative as it gets. Need a clock management consultant on staff.I love our effort today & im glad it’s not a blowout , but that’s not gonna change my opinion on Collins
I have said (and I think others agree) that it wasn’t the previous Ls that concerned me — it was how we lost. Well, for the first time I feel like I am ok with how we lost. Did we make a few bad decisions? Of course we did. But so did Dabo on the other side with two of the highest paid assistants in college football. Our guys came out with a great game plan and executed it. If it really was the case that Collins called in defensive plays and that was the difference, hopefully we have found something.I think most of you guys are just happy this L wasn't embarrassing like last year. But it's still an L in the record book. Collins record is now 7-18.
Agreed...we really need to figure out our red zone offense. P-net tries to be cute inside the 25 and it costs us points and a chance at the win. The biggest tell was right before the shuttle pass play. Patenaude called the play the player's faces and body language were all WTF.Listen, the players played hard. Very hard. They never gave up or gave in. But, that is the worst Clemson has played in a long time. Their offense is garbage and will lose several games if they don’t figure it out. We still have no offensive identity or rhythm. Yates made some throws and had a nice game, but the coaches decision making is just bad. We should have scored a touchdown at the end of the 2nd and 4th quarters. We played not to get beat bad. And we were successful in that.

Like I said he tries to be too cute...I am not arguing that it could have worked but the probability is very small. We asked our O line to execute perfectly against the best part of Clemson's team, their D line. This is why it was a bad call.I have no issue with that play call. Even on the replay it was very clear that we had a guy whiff on a block on their MLB. If that block gets made, he scores without being touched.
We can nit pick all day long, but their MLB is a very good player who did what very good players do- saw the play unfolding, beat the guard to the spot ( the MLB is probably freakin' fast) and made a play to win the game. It's called being a PLAYMAKER and hopefully we are getting some too.I have no issue with that play call. Even on the replay it was very clear that we had a guy whiff on a block on their MLB.

The play failed because of a missed block in the hole the ball carrier was supposed to run through. is there a play call that works in this event? I am not being a wise guy here but, seriously, how does a coach overcome that? Do those plays exist?Like I said he tries to be too cute...I am not arguing that it could have worked but the probability is very small.

True. Give that kid credit for beating his man. Eventually it boils down to that most of the time,We can nit pick all day long, but their MLB is a very good player who did what very good players do- saw the play unfolding, beat the guard to the spot ( the MLB is probably freakin' fast) and made a play to win the game.
