Sam? Maybe. Last name is Howell though. He can play.
Sam Howell, he was a 4 star originally committed to Florida State.
Was offered by Alabama, Ohio State, and Clemson, among others IIRC

Baws are probably printing off pages of topics from here and posting them around the locker room.

Now that would be great.
Those meanies online say our schedule sucks.

He’s a good player and I don’t think UNC will be in the CFP discussion by no means but Mack could get them back in the top 25.

You define who you are by the last game you play. If y’all lose to us all you will hear anytime you try and talk about this historic season is the score to our game. Much like bama and 44-16. The regular season will be for not if you don’t finish the deal.

It is not your fault that the ACC is light years behind you in talent. It is their job to catch up.
BS. You are trolling Clemson fans Wolfhound.

Not sure what UNC is like as a team (though I have been stationed several times in NC and own a home outside of Fort Bragg) I do not know any of the in state teams that well (I can tell you the fans of the opposing teams hate each other though - damn). I would equate your game with them as they were playing their Super Bowl and caught y’all off guard. Had to dig deep and remind yourselves of who you were. Gritty win which is what you need to stay on task.

Sometimes although you don’t see it at the time it’s ok not to play well, get outplayed or out coached whatever the case may be as long as you win the game. We can learn more in failure or not playing our best and still winning than we do in a blowout win. As long as you can correct the mistakes and it’s not personal issues it’s really no big deal especially since there is a playoff system and it’s not just polls which can be bias and frankly sometimes the people in the AP poll, while are good writers, don’t have a real clue about the game.
North Carolina came to play and they played a better game. Thankfully Clemson made one more play. Clemson had enough talent to overcome its mistakes and fix the problems. Have not been the same since.
Does this make sense

The fact that you ignored our victory from this last week against what many were saying was the most complete team in the country in OSU, and probably the most talented team tells me all I need to know.
Like the last couple of years we ripped through our regular season slate with one or two games where we didn't play our best (2016-Pitt,NC State; 2017-Syracuse;2018-Syracuse), and yet still were able to beat or go toe to toe with the best teams in the country.
You are making an argument that the past five years has shown is meaningless. If you want to talk about where you think you have matchup advantages or weaknesses that is great. If you want to troll Clemson over schedule when the past has shown that is a meaningless metric to care about - go ahead and play the court jester.

Stop being so sensitive. Every team is unique. Each one has special chemistry and dynamics. Your 2019 team is not your 2018 team. There were new parts that needed to be tested and tried as they were incorporated into the overall whole. It just worked out that there no opportunities (with the exception of UNC) to put them through a difficult trial. Does not mean it is not a good team. Enjoy what you have. It is going to be a great game that will probably be settled by one score, maybe ten points.

It is those damn Arkansas, Ole Miss and Mississippi State games where you have to be careful because they come to play and knock your head off. I would anticipate UNC was the same for you (though I do not know the dynamics in ACC play).

To be fair both Dobbins and Fields were dinged up, they arent a "great" redzone team, there was some questionable officiating, and they made some mistakes that had nothing to do with Clemson.
Still a great win though, I'd thought all year that Ohio State's defense would have problems with a really good quarterback. You saw Shea Patterson move the ball on them but they didnt face a really good quarterback all year.
Fields struggles to consistently beat a good defense if he can't run and Clemson held him to one of his worst rushing outputs of the year, probably a combination of your defense and him being injured.
