Saturday was one of the most unenjoyable games I've ever watched Clemson play

Let me preface this by saying I didn't think we would beat UGA.
The first half was decent and we hung with them. I will give props to the OL. They look improved. But every other position on offense looked the same or worse than last season.
Our offense is more vanilla than a lot of high school teams. Predictable. Slow. Not creative at all.
Cade has not improved in almost three years in the system. Some guys have it, and some don't. I'm starting to think he is in the latter group.
Don't even get me started on the receivers. Grisham is basically stealing from CU right now when he cashes his paychecks.
The defense looked awesome in the first half but got gassed and couldn't hang in the second half. Also, Goodwin hasn't made great adjustments and hasn't impressed me much. We give up a lot of points.
Some major changes need to be made and I'm not sure Dabo can wait until the season's end to make them. This program is in a spiral.

I felt pretty good going into halftime. Had a few good plays to get called back for penalties. Had some drops. Had some bad throws. Thought Clemson would settle down in the 2nd half.

O is slow & hesitant in its delivery..no growth overall seen in Cade's development..WR'ers average at best with one over-producing..no slants across the middle..under-thrown passes..penalties at terrible times.
Overall a team not sure of its identity & confidence and it shows!

it was the least obnoxious Clemson/UGa game i've been to.
Their fans were pretty well behaved for a change.

Sadly, I've seen worse. I think Tommy Bowden's last game when we lost to Wake was the worst I've ever endured.

Not even close to unenjoyable experience of the Duke game last year or the coot game the year before that

They looked terribly unprepared for the moment and that is on coaching. Second year in a row. Dabo is right. It's all on him. Hopefully, he rises to the occasion.

OK as a Bulldog fan maybe I'll get answers here...
Clemson has 188 total yards 44 rushing in 23 carries. Cade was sacked twice and it should have been more... how bad was yalls line last year if that's improvement?

Also.. UGA scored tds on 4-5 possessions in the second half, yes. But the time of possession was pretty even... how was Clemson D gassed but UGAs wasn't? And especially on the D LINE. UGA had a smaller rotation/experienced players than Clemson there..

Watching the game live, I didn't think Dabo was even trying to win the game. I watched it a second time yesterday and it's pretty evident. He knew he was outmatched, and he just didn't want to get embarrassed...more than he was. It was like he was trying to run the clock before every snap. Clemson had 3rd down and 22 (It was 20-3 at this point) and he calls a designed QB run. Another punt. He even said before the game, the score didn't matter to him. "It was just one game!" We were also surprised with the lack of speed on both sides of the ball for Clemson. Why did he stop recruiting fast guys?
The Clemson D threw a successful curveball at the UGA offense at the beginning...coming out playing zone defense instead of man. It worked for about a quarter and a half. Once UGA started to open it up, the Clemson D got tired and looked very very slow. With two FG drives at the end of the first half (aided by one egregious PI no-call on Colbie Young at the CU goal line), UGA scored 4 TDs on the next five drives to complete the blowout. Dabo was happy it wasn't in the 50s.
