re: Clemson needs to be taken down a few notches

You can analyze a game and figure out why you got beat. It isn't making excuses. We were able to move the football well enough but you do have to credit them for a good plan and preparation, but that goes back to how much time they were able to put in on us. That's just a fact and we will have to take it into account the next time.

People brag on that QB but I am not so much sold on him as I am on their WR's. They pushed our CB's around and caught just about every 50-50 ball, some of them very difficult chances. Trevor Lawrence most plays on third down just threw it up and Justyn Ross went and got it. A lot of QB's could have done what Lawrence did, but not a lot of WR's could do what Ross did. We were stubborn and never adjusted, doubling Ross on third down.

Those aren't excuses, those are reasons. Play that game again, we could beat them. But not playing the way we did, for certain. Give them credit, and let's make sure next year they don't get to eat hamburgers with the President.
