Just watched the game and was very impressed with the barn. If not for your coach shooting the team in the foot a few times, I think you guys win that game. Some questionable QB management and not taking points when you can get them really hurt you guys. I don't think you are going to curb stomp us again, ala 2014, but I think you beat us by 10.

Did Dabo come over and congratulate Auburn for outplaying his team after the game?

Truth.

Sad that so few people can put aside their hate and not admit these facts.

Screw moral victories but we did better than anyone expected.

I totally agree. I'm not sure Clemson is as good as last year but either way Auburn's D is the truth and they have enough talent between White and Franklin to be very scary. Jeremy Johnson should not be getting snaps at QB.

Aub played well, but did not "outplay" Clemson

No.

We played well on defense, but even then Williams-Watson chemistry was top shelf and likely was the difference in the game.

Our offense was offensive to football fans everywhere.

Not taking a FG with a reliable kicker down 13-3 was not great, but running a slow developing QB keeper with a guy who really is not a hard Tebow/Cam/Dak, etc type QB was really just dumb.

Ultimately, Clemson won. Bottom line. They made enough plays to overcome some of the stupid things they did .

Neither team played to their full physical capabilities. Watson-Williams battery was the difference to me.

At least Dabo knows who can make a play. I'm not sure who Gus thinks can make a play.

I trust Carlson and the defense. We may need to just simplify formations (quit the triple axle, double toe loop, swirling, twirling, whirling, nonsense), develop some boots and waggles to get clear vision for a short QB, run Pettway some(no carries), and shuffle the offensive line. Move Golson back to C, move Braden Smith to RT, move Leff to bench/in line TE, surely we have a back up guard who can function.

This team should win 8 or 9, but it could also lose 8 or 9.

One game is not a season, but it was a wasted opportunity.

The only reason this game was close was it is the first game and our coaches called a game like Les Miles

I see what you and other LSU fans are trying to do here. Can't you just get the admins to delete negatiger threads like usual?

And the fact that you just aren't very good.

Shouldn't be hard in your conference.

Lucky for Auburn, it was their 12th game of the season, am I right?

And had Dabo called the game like Gus, y'all would have lost.

I know, it is terrible. Our league champions are meaningless and Bowl record under Dabo really exposed us.

It was a close game.

Watson-Williams were the difference.

I think both teams have work to do.
I think AU must decide who to trust at QB and sink or swim with him.

Clemson has a few kinks to work out and playing on the road is hard-Even when you have a good team.

All in all, Clemson got a road win. That is always an accomplishment.

Being 1-0 is better than being 0-1.

With a mediocre QB and mediocre coaching Auburn likely wins that game.

Oh well.

Lowest rushing total for a Malzahn led Auburn

Clemson had a 100+ yard rusher and a nearly 200 yard receiver

And Clemson was outplayed?
