And, so far, the way we have played against teams with a pulse tells you why. It will take an effort and execution that we haven’t produced this season to pull the upset.
I’m hopeful but certainly not overly optimistic.

No one is foolish enough to disagree with those picks. We have done nothing against better teams this year that would lead us to believe otherwise. If I was a betting man, I’d bet my paycheck we cover the spread, but I would not bet one penny that we win outright.

This is one game I probably wouldn’t bet because the variables and intangibles in this one seem more unpredictable than most.

Realistically, why would they as on paper Texas will win easily on their home field. We will need to play our best game of the season and have a few breaks go our way to have a chance.

We have every bit as much talent as Texas. If we play to our full potential we won’t need breaks to win.

stop with the denial, we are not near as talented as Texas. At LB outside of Brown, we are very average. Woodaz is not fast enough to cover the Texas perimeter game we will see. Carter has been a liability all year trying to tackle in open space. We are ranked 60ish in total defense, they are ranked 3rd and 1st against the pass, only giving up 149 yards per game. We are really missing talent and speed from a running back standpoint. Reality hurts but the talent gap will be on display tomorrow especially from a depth standpoint.

Why should they???
Clemson needs to play 4 quarters and we have a shot——have not seen that all year long
Better be able to run or no shot

we have no one to run with, Mafah right now is about as fast as a 300lb lineman and cant run over people since he is hurt now. Texas knows this and will load up against the pass.

Based on your comment, I’m going to sell my tickets. No going to the game because Cade is going to have his best day.

Clemson defense needs to step up, the offense needs to score TD's, the Tigers can win the game.

What has Clemson shown them recently that they can beat a Top 10 team and don't point to SMU?
They are only one season removed from the Group of 5. Gotta start winning those games again to change the narrative.

So we have to prove that Clemson can beat a top 10 team

Without referencing the game where we beat a top 10 team?
Ok, that's enough internet for today.

Not sure Texas is better than the Gamecocks at this point.

Without a mobile QB, don't think Texas is going to generate the points that these people expect.
I think we hit some plays down the field while pressuring their QB into some turnovers.

Haha....joking.
Who cares what ESPN says, but if I were betting on this game I'd pick Texas too.
We can't stop the run and our 2 best RB's are injured, so I don't realistically expect to win.

Not many people pick double-digit underdogs on the road as outright winners...in any conference.

Not a surprise. Rankings-wise Clemson doesn't belong here so why would they suddenly be favored to win against a top 4 team?

ESPN is out to get Clemson because Dabo is Christian.

Good. Their track record isn’t that great anyway.
