@ Texas could be a 20+ point type of loss.

Now, I am not going to get into anything about the portal or place any blame on coaching. I am simply looking at this from the perspective of personnel.
Clemson is facing one of the country's best defenses (at least the best pass defenses) without a genuine running threat. Let that sink in. You could not write a better recipe for disaster.
I truly believe that Cade is the "Ace in the sleeve" in this game. He is from Austin; he'll be at home. He is a great player. If Cade plays lights out, we have a chance.
However, if Cade slips even a bit and Clemson doesn't win the turn-over margin, then this could get very ugly very quickly.
I don't think we can out-scheme Sark (not blasting coaching, just acknowledging their coach), especially after half-time.
Cade plays lights-out, a little luck, and a bunch of turn-overs, then it's a game. Otherwise, possibly a 20+ point loss.
I wish I had thought otherwise.
Go Tigers!

Not really. He gives an objective view of the game and the cultists can't handle it. We are not just strolling into Austin and winning. Not easily. Clemson can win, but it will take Clemson's A game and Texas B minus or C game. Their A game versus our A game it's a 10 point t loss. They how it works. Run along Sheep!

We use the cultists word, because no one will ever say "man we really screwed that up". Or anything negative. Liberals are the ones that say everything is great even when it's not. Being a realistic person is not liberal or conservative. It's just being able to separate fact and fiction. So if cultists bothers you, I'll use stupid, head in the sand, Dabo lovers from now on. Is that better? Does that make your soft sensitive butt sleep better? I thought that true Clemson fans were tougher.... I guess I was wrong??

Dabo lovers? Keep coming with your JK stereotypes. I don’t know a single Clemson fan that doesn’t blame him for our last two losses at home to Scar.
We’ve got a playoff game in 7 days and some of you are acting like we’ve already been blown out. At least save the criticism until the season is over.

154 pts? No I don't have a ton of post on here, but 154?? For you, this is about the problem with these forums. You can never say anything tbat is realistic. If you don't bow down and say Clemson is tbe best team, even when we are not you get called a coot or not a fan. It's just dumb people with your thinking that keep us from being able to have good conversations or disagreements. But hey I'm sure that the Tigers just win at Texas by 3 tds... does that make you feel better?? Sheep!

We want to see a Tiger win.
If you’ll notice, none of us who are “critical” of our football program lately were like this from 2015-2020.
As Dabo says, the fun is in the winning.

We’ve brought our b or c game in every game this year. We brought out A game for one quarter against SMU and look what happened we went insane. Our A game= top 3 team in country without a doubt, Texas is a good team but we are Better we just need our coaches to remove their heads from their buttocks. And yes all of the coaches Dabo included. We are a great team not just that we are amazing, we would be a top 5-7 team if we brought our a game for all 48 quarter in the regular and all 4 in the acccg. You guys just can’t accept it because you hat Dabo so much.

You must not watch a lot of football other than tbe Tigers. Weak against the run. Have only 1 DE that can set the edge. WR's struggled against elite db's to get separation all season. Struggle to run against defenses that are top 30. All of those are glaring advantages held by Texas. These issues cannot be fixed with 7 or 8 practices. Most of them are personnel or maturity issues. Can Clemson win, sure, but they need Texas to help them out. If Texas plays their A game it doesn't matter what Clemson does. 10pt loss! No need to argue, you fols just watch. If Texas doesn't have 2 or more turnovers we have no shot.

If you would use your reading comprehension you should’ve been taught in the second grade you would know that I was saying we brought our A game(we played amazing) in one quarter all year and it was against SMU, look what happened we completely shut them down outside of one drive, and we didn’t bring our A game all quarter on offense.

Or could be an Alabama like victory blowout. Who knows what will happen in this game. My gut is that we lose 34-24, but I really have no idea. Nothing would shock me. If we blew them out I wouldn't even be shocked. If they blew us out I wouldn't be shocked. Win a by a FG? Who knows?

Our performances against higher level opponents is concerning, and the lack of in-game adjustments by our coaching staff doesn't fill me with optimism. I'm approaching this game the same way I did against UGA. Hope for the best but expect the worse. Maybe we'll be surprised.

Go look at their offense output in the past four games. Their offense is not good. We will hold them under 30. It’s just a matter of how much our offense can do. Will need some turnovers as well

First of all, a "WVU-type loss" indicates that we would score on them with relative ease while being completely incapable of stopping their offense.
If their defense is as good as you're purporting it to be, then it would probably be more of a "UGA" type loss with us being unable to move the ball while they eventually wear us down in the 2nd half.
Regardless, they are the 4th most talented team in the country. We are the 5th. Protect the ball, turn them over a time or two, and let's see if we can escape Austin on a last second field goal or defensive stand.

As much as I surely hate for our teams to lose a game, it's sickening when one of our team just get embarrassed, but that maybe what it will take for Dabo to take a long look at the way things are done and what's not being done for him to make the changes that should be made...

Out-scheme Sark Is Sark a defensive mind?

Is Texas’s DC capable of out-scheming CK and our offense Is a better question.

We will eat Ewers up on defense. No chance they even score 20+

Right. We should just go with the 3 man front and the prevent defense the whole game. Or we can go 4 man front with 2 lb's and play a nickel. Both looks have been hugely successful all year. Cost us two games and required divine intervention to save us in the ACC championship. If Wes had his best game coaching (unlikely) we still would run out of gas as we have very little quality depth. Sammy can play every snap but our D line cannot. Lawson and Hoffler don't match up well with SEC caliber talent. Denhoff either, although he looks like a D1 player at first glance. He has 2 sacks for the year and only 15 tackles. Not good.

South Carolina scored 17 on us. I don't think Texas has a better O personally. Our defense has been pretty dang good for most of the year. Certainly not great but Texas O has not been great either.

Our defense has played great, except when we go with a three man or less rush. Put seven in the box and pressure the qb, we can win going away. Play 3 man front and they will pick us apart because we can’t cover that long.

The orange-colored glasses folk said, "Don't worry, these fallbacks will provide functional depth, you'll see".
Now, we are playing a team where our lack of DE and RB depth will be a huge issue.
But now, I am just "being negative". It's insane.

I believe you can be critical of our team without being as negative as you are sometimes. We obviously can beat Texas if you have watched our team and their team play at all this season. Yet you want to come on here and predict we lose by 20 points. That's not how a fan should be imo. Fans should have faith in their team. At least a good fan should. Maybe you are a debbie downer fan. I understand being a realistic to an extent but it's not like we are 3-9 playing them lol.

I mean, I can respectfully disagree with that assessment. I bleed orange, whether you believe that or not.
I appreciate your expressing your opinions about my negativity. Yeah, I may come off as negative, but it's all perspective, right?
Some fans suffer from a cult of personality with Dabo as well and feel he's above any scrutiny. I would guess that I am especially negative to those types.

I didn't say anything about ur life my man. I'm happy for you. I feel sorry for your loss of faith in our team is all. It must be miserable as a fan. You probably feel all the time like I did in the last minute of the acc championship game lol. We can certainly agree that we want to win. I just wish we could both think that we are going to win. Believing is the first step to achieving my man. We need to believe in our players and coaches.

Take a closer look at the offenses they’ve played. They should be the favorite but at 11 points Texas is ranked as a 1 star bet by teamrankings.com and they’re only a 3 star bet (out of 5) on the money line (straight up). I’d take your 20 points all day and night. Buy congrats on coming in here with another negative thread after get high on your PhD TUs. Remember, if your prognostications were correct we wouldn’t be playing in this game.

Cade will win it if we throw the ball downfield. A lot. If we think we will do any better against this defense than we did against Georgia by running between the tackles and throwing to the sidelines, we should all take a Nyquil and call it an early evening.

Hey, PBT: I have an odd approach to every game...even when we play

Dec 15, 2024, 6:37 AM

a team like the Citadel. I EXPECT a win, and if we don't, then we don't. That's a lot of difference than hoping to win.
I'm afraid of no one, not even the likes of a Texas, Bama, UGA, ND...name any team. Why? Because this coach of ours has led us to two national titles, a whole bunch of trips to the CFP, a slew of ACC titles, and, most importantly, wins over some of the "best teams which were ever created to play the game!"
And, as for Texas: they CAN be beaten! They do have a good coach, a good team and a bunch of wins this year. But look carefully at their wins. Do you know why a bunch of people are scared to death of them? Because the likes of frigging ESPN says we should be scared! That's why!
My own people are Texans, most split evenly between the Horns and the Aggies. The Aggies believe we xan beat them. The Horns think Cade will make a hellll of a run and are SUPERFICIALLY confident...meaning (to me) THEY ARE FULL OF SHITTTTTTTTTTT!
BOOMSHAKALAKA..,,,GO TIGERRRRS!!!! TIME TO KICK THE TIRES AND LIGHT THE DAMMMMMM FIRES!!!!

like the three loss season has battered and bruised PBT so badly that he's suffering PTSD and his only outlet is to resort to lowered expectations.
He may not live through this however, I'm not putting anyone on my prayer list who allows something as trivial as football to depress them.
Give me a 'C,' note on Clemson to win outright.

So, do your Aggie friends think we have a shot? I absolutely loved going to College Station for our game against them back in the day. They are some of the nicest fans in college football. The Aggies played Texas pretty tight this year but lost by 10.

I can see a 2 score loss. You're vastly overestimating Sark. Especially with a statue at QB. As long as Clemson plays to win and does not play to not lose this game will be much more competitive than most believe.

It's funny when people predict these amazing things, as if they know, when they know they do not. It's as if they are looking for thumbs up or to show they are the greatest Clemson fan. The truth is, we can point out weaknesses. Like I said in this thread, we could get blownout. It could be close. We could beat them easily. Nobody knows. This team is very flawed, so I think it's more ridiculous when people act as if we are definitely going to roll over Texas. We are 11.5 OT dogs for a reason. We haven't had a complete game yet this season.

I'm having trouble seeing where the "20+" part of the loss comes in.
Who is the best team Texas has defeated? They beat A&M by 10 points, 17-7. Clemson is at least as athletic as A&M.
Who else did Texas beat that was worth a ####? No one.
They didn't play Bama, Tennessee, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Missouri, LSU....Their signature road win not in their own state might be Vanderbilt.
They played Georgia twice, and got whipped at the line of scrimmage both times.
They are 11-2 because they've played a very weak in-conference schedule.
I'm having trouble seeing why Clemson is a huge underdog in this game.

We don't need him right now but down the road he is going to be a Heisman candidate. He's the best freshman I've seen since Trevor L.

I see what you are saying, and looking at the schedule, I agree.
They played UGA much better than we did. That's the only common opponent.
I don't like this match-up because, without a running attack, Cade will be running for his life against a good secondary.
Without winning the TO margin and with any minor/major slip-ups by Cade, I think it gets ugly in the second half, especially if we have a bunch of three-and-outs like in the second half against SMU.
We can even win this game if we win the TO battle, and Cade has the game of his life, which I hope happens. Cade being home and in front of his peeps encourages me!

I think Clemson match's up better than you're thinking boss.
They don't have an elite running game or an ultra athletic QB.
This game reminds me of the game vs Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma(and Ewers is nowhere near as good as Baker) in regards to Clemson D vs their O, their OL is big and slow their wrs are not physical and they don't have a game breaker at rb.
I'll give you they will be the second most athletic front 7 seen this year but there is a massive drop in talent when comparing them to UGA, imo they are more like a slightly better SCAR front 7(which Cade was protected well against).
The lack of a running threat outside Cade is indeed concerning but if Eziomume can plug along for 4 yards a pop i think that's enough to keep them honest.

RB is the big unknown. Easy E (according to what I hear on TNet) hasn't been playing because of ball security issues, and we've already seen him fumble in limited play. I wished we had missed on all those RBs in recruiting before him.
I think our running game depends on Cade's legs. He can do it, will he?

30-15 was misleading. It was 23-0 at halftime, with Georgia completely dominating Texas. They coasted home in the 2nd half.
Clemson actually made Georgia break a sweat for a half.
