Do you honestly and truly believe

That DJ will have a break out game against Syracuse and return our program to what it was a very short time ago? I can’t think of a single time through these first five games when I thought he was the man.

No but I think he will be better to the tune of 10 to 14 additional points on O.
21–10 Tigers

I will settle for a line forward push, with no lineman falling backwards and a 67% + completion average

You're right about what DJ is capable of and what he has showed in the past.So that's why I'm hoping that the type of game he had against Notre Dame last year in South Bend will soon happen once again.It's just mind boggling how he can go from looking the way he did last season,especially the Notre Dame game to looking the way he has so far this season,it just don't make sense at all.

One more time in this remedial class. At Notre Dame last, DJ Travis Etienne, Amari Rodgers and Cornell Powell. Those 3 got 402 of our total 473 yards and by the way, they are GONE.

I saw some glimmers of hope that the O is putting it together in the BC game. BC was going to be a tough out no matter.
Let's hope the SU game is still a tune up. Because, we are going to need at least 28 points to have a chance against Pitt and then Wake later in the season.

I honestly and truly believe Tiger Offense shows improvement
Oct 13, 2021, 8:33 PM

this weekend. Let me count the ways ...
1. DJ and Offense have had some R&R to take some pressure off the top, 2. T.E. and Streeter have had two weeks to burn midnight oil to develop game plan, 3. SYR had a tough OT loss at home to Deacons on 10/9 - they are tired & could be flat with short week, 4. T.E. and Streeter have the most on the line - they will change things up this Fri.
Vegas spread started +17. It seemed like too much and is currently +13 to 13.5.
10 to 13 sounds about right. I'll take it. Go Tigers!

I believe that DJ will keep the ball more on zone reads and that we will try to run outside more. I believe the success of that will force the defense to respect the run which I think will open up the passing game. I believe that DJ will pass for 200 to 250 yards before Taisun comes in for mop up duty early in the 4th quarter. That is what I honestly believe. Not sure that I think that is a breakout game, since I believe that 'Cuse's defense is overrated statistically. I think the real breakout game comes at Pitt with the increased confidence after Syracuse.
No, there is no alcohol or drugs involved with this post.

I remember the time you repeatedly posted that a sky diver’s chute malfunction resulted in one of our soldiers falling to his death into the reflection pond on Military Appreciation Day.
5-6 people corrected you, detailing how he used his backup chute, but you just continued spreading the rumor again and again.
The lesson I learned that day is that for some there’s no age limit on being an antagonistic, shriveled up cooter of an internet troll.

We don't need a breakout game we just need DJ to recognize defenses, pick up the blitz and make the right reads. It would also help if our receivers would get open.

I appreciate the honest and well thought out replies. I’ll be DJs biggest fan Friday . Hopefully the week away from ev absence of everyday football will be the tonic that our Tigers need to regain their rightful place near the top!
One thing for sure..... the defense will be top notch and that can be enough for this game. A confidence boost going into Pittsburgh would be great.

Despite what appears to me to be the strength of Syracuse's defense (i.e., their D-line), I expect Clemson's OL to have its best game. I'm hoping like mad that Syracuse's blitzes get picked up by our (still inexperienced) RBs.
If our OL has its best game, and if the RB's can block a little, then DJ will easily have his best game (which will satisfy us all ... OK, many of us).
Syracuse has a highly inexperienced LB and Secondary. If their DL can't beat our OL, and if our RB's pick up their blitzes, DJ should have plenty of opportunities to (a) hit open receivers and (b) hit an occasional home run.
For me and what's left of my self-respect, I darn sure DJ doesn't make me look like an ... no I won't say that ... doesn't make me sound like a fool.
Go Tigers (fingers crossed)!

Sometimes when a team is criticized by everybody from the media to the analysts to the polls to even some of their own fans they internalize that anger and frustration and become a really tightly knit unit, especially when traveling with a smaller group to a hostile environment. I think we roll out in the Carrier Dome as a pissed off, dangerous and physical football team on both sides of the ball. We may still only score 27-31 points but I feel like it will be a more impressive performance. I think we dictate to them what we do and when we do it.
