Re: TNET: Monday Insider: Joyous chaos on sidelines in rout of Wake, rushing numbers rise

First, congrats on an impressive win over Wake. Not only did the team need it, but the fans did also. However, as a diehard fan and Alumni, I have concerns.

The new NCAA ruling that allows football players who play in up to four games and then have the option of redshirting, has added more stress to coaches. This is especially true for a team like Clemson who is heavily stacked two and three deep.

This is a different generation, and loyalty is not what it once was. Coach Dabo found this out quickly with Bryant. I assure you that every coach out there with talent two and three deep are concerned.

Coaches like Dabo that are loyal to players may feel the need to play everyone in a game as we have seen this season. However, while trying to make the second and third string happy, what is going through the minds of young men like Etienne and Lawrence, where numbers are very important for their career.

I was not happy that Etienne was taken out of the game with 167 yards. This young man may be up for Heisman where numbers count. Trever looked good, but this is only his second game as starter. Was it really a good idea to cut his time on the field. I am not saying that Brice should have not played, but starters are starters for a reason.

Just Saying.

Nobody loves scoring more than I do but, yes but, it was against Weak Forest. Now that our coaching staff seems to have an idea of what we can do with the loads of talent that we have. Now lets see if they can put it all together and do the same with the remaining teams we have to play through the rest of the season. What I'm saying is that the teams we have left to play, Weak Forest I think would probably have a 50/50 chance of beating who we have remaining on our schedule!!!

NC State up next with a 5-0 record, and that 5-0 record was against nobody. They beat BC by 5, score 28-23, and WF scored 34 on BC losing by 7 with a score of 41-34. The only team NC State had to date with a pulse was WV, and that game was canceled. IN DV, we should beat the pups as bad as we beat WF in Winston-Salem...

@Florida State, they lost to VT 24-3 @ Dope Campbell, they lost to Syracuse @ Syracuse 30-7, they beat a very bad Louisville team @ Louisville 28-24. Both those teams have hit rock bottom!!! FSU then loses to Miami @ Miami 28-27. But, we play FSU @ Dope Campbell, I think we win, but it could be a close game bc of our history against FSU @ FSU.

Louisville got beat by Bama 51-14, Bama just didn't want to be at Camping World Stadium, Orlando, FL playing a very bad Louisville. They got beat by Virginia 27-3 @ Virgina, they got beat by a bad FSU team 28-24, they just got beat down by GT 66-31. When Louisville comes to DV, and I'm thinking we should beat them by 21 plus in DV, and every able bodied Tigers will get a chance to play in that game!!!

BC, that is a wait and see bc they are 1-1 in conference play as of today, and they have beat WF 41-34 @ Wake, and they have lost to NC State 28-23 @ the puppy park. We will play BC @ Chestnut Hill on
NOV 10, and I expect it to be really cold in Boston by that time, and our guys should play really hard to stay warm, and I'll say we win by 14 plus points, and we leave Boston Mass. with a 10-0 record, with those A$S holes still talking #### about us, and trying to talk us out of the playoffs with the hopes of getting two of their SEC sponsored teams in the playoffs!!!

Duke, they have played only ACC team to now, and they lost to VT @ Duke 31-14, but they have beat Northwestern @ Northwestern 21-7, and they have beat Baylor @ McLane Stadium, Waco, TX 40-27, and they beat Army 34-14 in a night game at Wallace Wade in Durham. We don't play the Dookies very much in FB anymore, and I am glad this time around will be in DV. Cutcliffe has done a decent job for the FB program since becoming their HC, and their DC has been there for a while, and since we haven't played them in a while, it good that we have them at DV IMO. They will always be a Basketball first school, but Cutcliffe knows a little something about FB!!!

Then we have our hated FB game in cootlumbia. We really can't call them a rivalry with a straight face, and I do wish we could trade them off for UGA or Auburn without a lake. If that could happen, at least we would have a chance to boost our strength of schedule at the end of the season playing UGA or Auburn over killing our strength of schedule by playing the preseason National Champion Cluckers. That's all there is to be said about that game except for hoping that Mustcan't will say something to really tic Dabo off, and he would allow our coordinators to run up the score to about 70 or 80 points. And then call a timeout with 1 minute left in the game to applaud our senior that will be moving on!!!
