this team were oline and general defensive youth.

Defense: Dabo said he thought this was the most talented D we have ever had. Of course, him saying it doesn't make it true, but he doesn't say stuff like that unless he believes it. And one can look at the freshmen and sophomores at all the positions and see that we have a bunch of young, talented players. And tonight notwithstanding, it was a very good D as is. I think it gets a lot better.

Offense: Receiver will again be a strength, and more stable than this year, I think. Losing Rodgers hurts, but Ross comes back (presumably) and Williams, Ladsen, etc are very good. On oline, its a bit like the defense: Dabo says they are great players waiting to happen, and we all know that oline is the most developmental position on the team, so I think that group will become a strength. QB will take some growth, but no one can assume that will be a weakness. RB, who knows: no, it wont be like the last 5 or 6 years. I wish we had a Harris or Sermon in the group, but we don't, unless one of the young guys is that guy.

I have been a glass-half-empty guy forever. I have thought we looked a little weak and unfocused all year - the only game where I thought we looked like us was the ACCCG - and one guy on this page is calling me a gamecock fan because of it. But I'm going all in on 2021. if we don't go to the Championship game, I will have completely missed it. I really think we'll be that good.

The two national championship teams had an "it" factor you can't predict. Those teams had DW and TL as leaders, and you can't predict or buy that, so I won't say 2021 will be as good a team as those. But we'll be right there in terms of players, I think.

Hot take - Final rating of DW4 vs TL16?

Agreed

Great question. I could go with that take, if I knew two

Some of those gaps are just youth.

A healthy receiver core and if Ross comes back, that

You're wrong on both

DW4 never shat the bed. Never.

I blame this loss more on the defense.

I’d take DW4 over any QB I’ve ever seen play at Clemson.

He had a control of the game that was unhuman, it seemed.***
