[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 869683, member: 1776"] This comment is what scares me about Tchio at GT and the expectations for him.. Clemson's OL was not good last year and Tchio went from an early season contributor as a backup to a complete non contributor who played 1 snap over Clemson's last 8 games. In the 2 games that he got significant snaps in against FBS teams Clemson lost both of them and had less than 200 yds of total offense in regulation in both games. I think Clemson will be fine. I think they have a better than even chance to get back to the ACC Championship game this year, but I do not see them as a national title contender. They have won 6 in a row but hardly against a murderer's row of competition. They beat a 5-7 FSU team, a 6-7 L'ville team, a 1-11 UConn team, a 11-3 Wake team, a 7-6 SCe team, and a 7-6 Iowa St team. Only one team with more than 7 wins. The bowl game they won 20-13, had 315 yds of total offense, one offensive TD and the difference in the game ends up being a INT returned for a TD. Anything less than 5-1 would have been a huge red flag. Every one of those teams was .500 or worse against P5 competition. In their first 7 games their 4 wins came against a FCS SC ST team, a 3-9 GT team - by 6, a 6-6 BC team - by 6, and a 5-7 Syracuse team - by 3. Arguably its only 'good' win all season was against Wake. They played 4 teams that won more than 7 games last season and went 1-3 against them. IMO their 6 game winning streak can potentially be explained as much by how their schedule was set up then anything else, it was front loaded with most of the good teams they faced in the first 7 games. Their schedule is pretty similar to last year, probably slightly easier. They start off the year with GT, Furman and La Tech. Their toughest stretch is probably their last 4 where they have ND in South Bend and three home games - L'ville, Miami and SCe. They have 7 home games and only 4 true road games - at Wake, FSU, BC and ND. The only other stretch where they have to worry about maybe dropping a game in the 4 game swing that is @Wake, NCST, @BC, @FSU. [/QUOTE]
