you’re comparing unlike things. last year the weather was awful. poor conditions in that game really turned it into a ground and pound fest for both sides.Even if you take the blocked punts away, they still scored double what they scored last year. Is Clemson that much better this year? I don’t know. It’s the first game of the season, but the main reason I brought up last year’s game is we played them close and had a chance to force OT AT Clemson and we still only won 3 games. I’m not taking the fools gold of “playing well against a top program” again. Not to mention, while I agree the final score isn’t a true indicator of the game, we ultimately were not even in this game by the 4th quarter. No need for moral victories. We lost by 31.
we showed way more on both sides of the ball in the game this year for me. last year we didn’t score a touchdown (largely due to yates) and our offense looked unable to do anything. tonight we actually had some time, sims got to get to a second and third read, and honestly aside from a crazy deep shot (that was more playcalling) he made way less mistakes.
i wouldn’t say we were good or anything but this was a competitive game the vast majority of the time and our d was looking solid until charlie got ejected when the refs wanted to get involved.
im not willing to write this team off until i see us against ucf and ole miss
