I don't know. We had real problems with the OL.


Their D-Line wasn't good. UF line would have looked dominant vs Tech.

Eliminate the hype and look at the games. A&M can play with them.

It was so nice while Aggy was teaching us a lesson and only posting on their board.

What I admire most about you is your ability to look right past the obvious and claim nothing happend.

Didn’t watch aTm last night so can’t push back on your point, however Clemson scores 52 on a P5 defense last night while posting an average passing game. Running game was dominant and D stuffed GT most of the night until third string entered in 3rd qtr. Respect for any SEC team but not worrried.

Tech moved the ball and got 2 turnovers against the first string. They stop Clemson to open the game then fumble the punt. They get an int and drive to the 1 and screw it up. They ran the ball relatively well with a bad line and bad panel.

They are a bad team and it could easily have been 21-14 or closer at the half.

Clemson did not play great.

If the same two teams that showed up yesterday face off, it's going to be a close game. Clemson D was average. Lawrence was a bit better than average, but not close to his championship standard. Travis E and receivers were elite. O Line was very good. A&M can play with Clemson.


I wouldn't say our D was average. There are holes there for sure at this point in the year. In obvious passing situations our DEs are elite. In 2 years, XT will be a top 10 pick if he stays healthy.

DT and LB are the biggest holes I see right now. LBs will show up where they need to be, but match them up in man coverage against a TE or slot receiver and they will struggle. DT is not bad, but they won't be as good as last year. Secondary wasn't tested much, but make no mistake... this secondary is filthy good.

One thing I saw from GT was that they seemed to have a good handle on what we were trying to do on offense. Lawrence's stats had as much to do with play calling as anything. I think more teams have a really good idea of our tendencies and how to attack us.

If A&M can establish the run, it will be a close game. I don't think there is much to take away from their game aginst directional U. I am sure it was intentionally vanilla across the board and they will bring some wrinkles.

that's a really good point, having a good running game takes a lot of pressure of a qb having an off night, which is what Clemson accomplished, have an upvote

35-0 until third team D enters game - then 52-14...And they “did not play great”. I agree.

We’ll see how well UGA plays vs GT later this year and compare notes.

But but the Aggies did beat a team that most JUCO'S would beat.

Ah the highlight of Johnny manziel's career. Beating Oklahoma in the cotton bowl. Or is it getting to play for the argonauts?
