BT Potter was another great rookie addition to our team. Dabo knows how to fix his teams lack of performance in most areas and will soon get special teams better too.
I’m proud of our team for growth effort and I’m so happy Trevor is getting experience that will help us have another National Championship. I’d love to see us win the next three or every year Trevor is here. Dabo has a climbing at a rate I only dreamed of a few years ago.
The best is yet to thumb!! Go Tigers!

Our offense is much better this year than in 2017

especially with Lawrence as our QB. It's leaps and bounds ahead of 2017's offense.

It's amazing what the threat of a forward pass can open up

Special teams... where's the love

It is rather disappointing that the Tiger special teams skill seems pretty pathetic overall when there is an exceptional defense and very good offense. It would be nice to see them bring that rating up without sacrificing the others.
Half-way through the season A&M looks a lot stronger than the total defense stat portrays. They weathered Clemson and Alabama with reasonable offense while not looking like a laughing stock on defense either. Last week they took down unbeaten Kentucky and SC this week in Columbia. So on the one hand beating them looks good, and better if we whitewash Carolina in the final game of the regular season.
This year though is another Rodney Dangerfield feel since the Tigers and ACC in general get no respect and the schedule looks nothing like 2 years ago.
Going into the second half if the Tigers can hang some serious stats especially having TL settle into the position of QB without more incidents the program should be tuned up and ready to garner another ACC Championship and hopefully make another final berth for January and the Natty.

Wait, a "Clemson fan" told you our offense wasn't very good? Was this before or after you bought his drugs.

Wish we had a better punter, we haven’t had a reliable since Bradley Pinion. Teasdal and Spiers just haven’t got the job done.

One of my favorite plays under Dabo given that Teasdal screwed up so bad against UNC the game before.

It is interesting on punt returns that Clemson always pulls back and just lets the punting team run with the ball and usually have a large crowd at the fair catch. The punter knows he is going to have all the time in the world to get off an exceptional punt because Clemson and best will only rush 2 and those are halfhearted attempts at best. I can't remember seeing any orange helmets anywhere near an opposing punter this year or last.
