I don't touch it. He's the clairvoyant guru who started the thread 2 weeks ago declaring App St + the points was a certainty, free money, the goat spread bet Locks. He knew it would be a nail biter.

After the last few years I'd never expect to beat any ACC team by 20. Hope it happens though.

After seeing App look horrible last night the jury may still be out. 20 is a ton of points. Looks like the line has went down just a tad and may drop another point or two before noon Sat

The score of the App St game could have reached a 100 if the starters would have stayed in the entire game...

20 points is a whole bunch for this rivalry. Seems to be a kneejerk reaction

from their starting QB going down, but if you watched their game after the frosh came in, he actually picked up their offense. If Wes allows him to have time, he is going to be a problem for us. Hopefully we rattle him and get him to throw us the ball a a couple or three times. It will be hard to cover that 20 unless the defense chips in with some points, I think. Therefore, I am?

I agree. If we come out rushing 4 and get no pressure we are setting him up for success. Brent ate up young QBs because he never allowed them to get comfortable in the pocket. Blitzes from everywhere were the norm. Hope we follow that pattern.

Not scared of a 3 star Nancy State freshman qb. Am scared of our offense being a one hit wonder. Especially after App game last nite

That's a smart pick. I'm likely too high with my 30-20 Tigers prediction.

I hope you are wrong. After Tennessee beat them by 41 it will just highlight how far the program has slipped.

They ran on them at will. Bludgeoned throughout the game.

I'll tell you why I agree.

The learning process along with developing younger players which Dabo hold so dear and has historically worked is why I agree. We'll see.
I believe Dabo, just as he did against App State, will pull our starters and rotate in those backups who have proven in their behavior and their efforts to work hard toward getting playing time will be rewarded. That alone should duplicate past seasons in which we had great success.
Unfortunately, DJ never became what Cade has already proven to be and we suffered greatly. Cade didn't help Dabo with those endeavors last season very much.
Imo, and possibly yours, we will return to those days when we sweated bullets right up to the end of just about every game until Scar showed up on the other side of the field. We'd waltz through the ACCCCG and make a good showing in the PO.

That depends on how early the 3rd stringers come in to play. I think we WILL cover unless we give up some points in garbage time.

Dabo loves to start playing the back-ups...

at the earliest possible opportunity. Thankfully, we have a coach who is far more concerned about developing beneficial experience and depth than he is about covering the point spread.

I think we lead by over 20 points at some point in the game. But it wouldn't surprise me if they got a garbage time td to cover

I'm saying something like 24-13. 20+ points is a lot in this rivalry and Clemson has only had 6 20+ point wins against conference foes since Trevor left. The App State game was good for our confidence but I don't think we can sit back and act like we're juggernauts again on offense. Who knows what NC State's offense looks like but Doeren will have the defense ready to go.

I wouldn't say you are wrong but I think there are some things going for us that could help us cover. First, we have had 2 weeks to prepare and 2 weeks to get a little healthier. Second, their QB2, a true freshman, will be making his first start and we will put a ton of pressure on him. If we can keep him from beating us with his legs, I think we can stifle their offense. Concepcion seems a little banged up and he is their biggest threat so that helps.
I think our offense is coming into the game with a lot of confidence. If the OL can hold their own, open up some holes for Mafah, and protect Cade, we could have another productive day on offense.
Assuming we don't turn the ball over and beat ourselves, I'm getting a little more comfortable that we might cover.

Its really that simple, because ncst is terrible. With out without their starting qb.

How is NC State going to score? With a freshman quarterback, getting his first start in death valley?
