Who would have thought that our game was the only playoff game that even resembled equally matched foes.

Going in to this game I felt like we had the most difficult first round match up. We have a much easier second round than Ohio State and ND. Boise State and ASU are both pretty favorable matchups for PSU and Texas.

You felt like Clem was more difficult than OSU or Tennessee? That’s interesting mannn

It didn't really, though.

Fair. It was only a full quarter+.
After our 3 pts to start the 3rd quarter our offense went dumb with lots of dumb play calls until Sark was jolted awake by Cade getting it to a 7 pt game early in the 4th.

Then the offense and defense girded their loins

I said in another thread that we aren't that good at wide out right now with Bond gimping around and got blasted. Their receivers caught everything. Bad throws or not. They high-pointed the ball and were physical.

Expand  

And their QB and WRs will be watching the next round of the playoffs from their living rooms.

They spread us out and got one on one matchups that they liked. They weren't doing anything special just man beaters when they go man and sitting down in open spaces when they got zone. We got caught with bad personnel on the field a few times and couldn't generate a pass rush. We also had Simmons playing LB depth as a changeup trying to be cute. Clemson was smart and when they caught us they wouldn't let us sub. Muhammed was getting abused because dude was good at using his hands to get sep when the ball was in the air and he looked like he was afraid to be physical back. Maybe he was afraid because of what happened last week.

Sounds legit i want a 5 part mini series on why the pass rush evaporated

No, their offense is a bit better, especially the passing game. But their defense is way way way behind Tennessee. Either Tennessee didn't show up or OSU is flexing some muscle and will give Oregon the fight of the 2nd round.  I didn't watch that game so not sure how it got so lopsided. 

We were the only team that didn't comfortably cruise to the first round win over an overmatched opponent. We should have, but this team just doesn't play ball in the 3rd quarter ever.

All I know is Clemson will be back in the CFP playoffs next season. We're the better team; they had a ton of underclassmenn so we should take them seriously. Klubnik diced up our secondary like they were nothing. The kid is the real deal..

Had our IDL and Edges but been elite, we lose this game easily. How I don't care how many busted coverages we had, they also made tremendous stops.

Is Helm back next year? God I hope so because Juan Davis is a vortex of suck. Niblack must really suck to not play over him.

Expand  

No, he's gone. Out of eligibility, which sucks. But we have sorne that will be elite;namely Washington, Townsend, Shannon, and hopefully Klare.

No. Clemson is more talented. Tenn has been a paper tiger all season. It got lopsided because Tenn isn't that good and OSU has speed for days.

Back from the stadium. I've never seen someone actually look like they were shot out of a cannon. JFC Blue. I hope he had one of those gps things on.  Maybe Romance? Like a fuckin' rocket.

That run was so amazing. I was sitting in the NEZ and when he broke thru the line all it was was green grass and him burning the sideline running at us. It was so awesome!

The team gained some confidence and maturity with this win. When it looked like they were waning AND when the chips were down, they kicked it into another gear. Hope they remember whatever it was that took over for them, because they're gonna need it going forward.

Very very few errors. Great execution on the blocking, especially the two long runs (which apparently were audibled). Very impressive.

Didn't Sark go on record as saying he got the idea to run the ball more from reading Surly?

WTF was Dabo doing when Klubnik threw the pick? It seriously looked like he was trying a laying on of hands

Expand  

Probably telling him that God and some mythical Middle Eastern poor kid had a plan for him. 

That he was testing him and that with faith he would overcome the obstacles influence front of him just like he had in 76.923% of the games that they had played so far this season.

As someone with tickets on the lower East side, I would like to lodge a formal complaint about where the drones are usually flying.

Expand  

Funny story. When the third quarter ended, the Clemson guy (whom I quite liked) turned to his friend and said, “they catch match our stadium”, referencing something that happens at their games. Then I pointed to the drones ( which he had missed) the music really kicked in and he was amazed.
