Our Tigers had me so mad at the half, I almost turned the game off and went to bed. Glad I didn't and before anyone else says that we stink, just consider that if Clemson wins out then Clemson goes to the Playoff.
Our country won't go on forever, if we stay soft as we are now. There won't be any America because some foreign soldiery will invade us and take our women and breed a hardier race.

If we could pick the one game on our schedule where we would stink the worst, then Troy was that game.
At this point, raw hope might be where the coaches are right now. CK2 has got to get better with his reads, accuracy, deceptive use of his eyes, and get-off time.
Staring down his primary receiver has been a near certainty except where he had scrambled successfully and had a total of 6+ seconds to survey the field and attempt a pass to a secondary or tertiary receiver. His throwing motion is slow. He continues to commonly be late when he decides it’s time to throw it. He does not even attempt o ‘look off’ his primary receiver; this makes it easy for the defense to get a head start on where to go to either break up the pass or to minimize YAC. For the second straight game, his accuracy has been inconsistent.
He’s got to get better … fast … if we are to have a season in which we can compete for a berth in the ACC Championship game.
By ‘compete,’ I mean not having to go into the Louisville game with 3+ conference losses. (With ‘only’ 2 conference losses going into the Louisville game, there is a remote chance that we might ‘back into’ the ACC Championship game.)
