New Story: Tigers look to stay in championship hunt

Tigers look to stay in championship hunt
Clemson opens its season Sept. 2 against Kent State and, as usual, wraps up the regular season against the rival South Carolina Gamecocks. Where the Tigers go from there depends on the Tigers’ 12 regular-season games. Does Clemson get another shot at an ACC title? Full Story » |

I think we have a higher likelyhood losing to Louisville or FSU than Virginia Tech. If Evans had come back I would be more worried about them but I think they may take a step back this year

I went back and forth on those three, for sure. FSU at home seems like Tigers will find a way.
And no matter what has happened the past three years in the game, Clemson has found a way against Louisville.

just too much pent up bad blood from louisville guys from the way last season played out (close loss, early bcs standings controversy, etc)

I agree with this, but I'll say IF we lose to NCSU,

we also lose to Auburn and FSU. The game against the pups never should have been a nail-biter. Doeren is not building a contender in Raleigh. So, if we lose there, we lose to at least two other legit teams.

Our D will keep us in every close game. The unknown will be our QB play. When DW4 was off last (1st half of season ), we struggled at times. This year, if we can settle on a QB early and get strong play and good execution, we'll go to the acc champ. This assuredly means we beat the noles. I tend to agree that playing at VT is tough, but our O and D is better. Special team play may make the diff. The card game outcome will matter, so our first acc game is a biggie.

I will be pulling to win them all but I agree our number is due against VT. We have beat them in several big games and really hurt them when they were good before, if any team owes us it's them.
Thank you for the prediction, as a writer it's hard to please everyone but if we could take this right now I think all of us would.
Go Tigers win them all and bring home back to back Championships!!

If Clemson loses just one, I hope it is against either Aww-burn or the VaTech Turkeys. This way, the Tigers would still go to the ACC title game and have a chance to go to the playoff. Just a wishin' and a hopin'.

We wont' be losing to VT. More likely Auburn and FSU

Go ahead and pencil Auburn in as the SEC champion. Guz found himself another QB that is going to light things up. Without a QB, I'm not sure we can keep our defense off the field.
FSU has a proven QB and can score. Same
These are toss up games.
VT is not up to our caliber.

It depends on our QB.
