Overconfidence coupled with a team that is cornered, playing, night, at home, still has talent….
Let’s not overlook this one.. STay humble, do the work, prepare and execute, and we will come out with a win….
These could be a trap game, easy to overlook and think we have in the bag….
Just do the work, and stay focused…. One game at a time..

It would take us fumbling or throwing an INT on almost every drive for them to stand a chance...
...and we still might win 3-0.

There is zero reason to believe the effort and execution of FSU next Saturday will be any different than it has been the first 5 games.

The last time Clemson played FSU, FSU won the football game. So, no motivation booster needed.
FSU has a Clemson alum at QB; "no further motivation needed"!
We as fans can have our take. I can promise you the players who played with DJU want to beat his butt( as they would anyone who left the program). Why? Because, you play your brother harder than you play other people in the back yard most of the time. Because of the fact "you know him on a personal basis; you do not want him to get the better of you"!
I really don't think this line of concern will come into play: "from the team" at all! In fact, quite the opposite.
I think the team will feel they didn't play their best against Stanford; especially the defense. FSU will want to shorten the game and run it, probably using that same counter/mis-direction play Stanford used.
Let the fans talk. The team will be locked in i.m.o.

As bad as DJ has been, his backup has looked even worse. I don't usually bet, but I'm considering signing up to place a bet on Clemson covering the spread. There's no way we don't win by at least 2-3 scores.

The worse case scenario is happening for FSU. Clemson defense didn't play well against the run and gave up a lot more yards than one would think. Not points; thanks to some 4th down stops.
But, because of the connection with DJU and b/c FSU won last year and because it's in Florida - I think the team comes out focused and ready to roll early/often.
Had they molly-wopped Stanford and had beaten FSU the year prior and had no connection with the QB and the game was in DV - I think this would be a trap game.
FSU so far "If you have seen them play" looks like an assembly of players from the portal instead of a CFB team. Maybe b/c that team in Orange with the paw at 1 o'clock is coming "they suddenly find their groove"! Teams always play above their chest for Clemson; which is nothing new.
We'll see though. I think FSU needed some recent games as well and were desperate for respect and a win in those games as well and "it didn't happen"!

they’re an abandoned ship. Their players quit caring about playing footballl weeks ago; I don’t see them all of sudden caring this week.

through the motions is in capable of fighting.
DJ has completed 53.8% of his passes for 1,065 yards with four touchdowns and six picks this year.
Cade will throw 1 pick six and DJ will lead the noles on one FG drive.
