If Deshaun Watson went down to injury like Mccoy there is no doubt in my mind Clemson would get violated. Feel free to address any of the points I actually made, or not. I'd rather not argue on the side of clemson anyway.

Tennessee had 132 yards on 39 carries. That is 3.4 yards per rush.

Against Bama, that is a good day but it isn't winning any ball games.

Thats a valid point point, and I do think Alabama will win the game.

'Devil's Advocate:
Dobbs is just a poor man's Deshaun Watson at this point, and say what you will, UT was beating bama in tusc. with 3 minutes to go in the game. I get it, UT lost the game to a better team. However, Clemson's squad is also superior to UT's . With that said, how can you be sure Clemson can't do what UT did on the ground and defense, while Watson does more through the air (as a much more talented/polished passer than Dobbs)?'

That would be part of my reasoning as to why Clemson can/will win if I was a fan. I just don't understand how Clemson fans can be so cocky as to underestimate bama just days after the tide blew their wad all over MSU like they did :lol:

Tennessee isn't a likely destination for the highest calibre coaching targets in the nation, but it is hilarious watching you morons acting like it is as bad of a destination as it was after Dooley. Tennessee would be able to entice quality candidates (and no, trolls, I'm not talking about fking Gruden or Chip Kelley). You people are totally clueless.

You have it kind of backwards. Both of our units have let us down, but just look at how much our defense is on the field in the 2nd half of games. They are just on the field too much, and it shows late in the second half of games. It's a result of our offense continually struggling to sustain drives. We played terrible tonight and this coaching staff is in some shite if we have a typical losing October.

Holy shite this has me cracking up

Check the sig. You're locked in. No where to hide. When your dreams are shattered I will be here to haunt you until the end of time.

I'll bite on your "sick" burn.

I notice you have Oxford as your location and a join date of 2010. So, are you still in school? Having trouble graduating from a lower tier university? It's been 5 years and don't give us any bull-crap about you going for your masters. Or or, are you actually from Oxford?? Single wide or the more luxurious double? Either way, you're fricked. 27k posts as well. Nice! I bet you're quite the ladies man, considering all the time you spend on the internet.

I really don't know. It's either Dobbs lacks the accuracy to get it to the WR's downfield, or they just aren't winning the one on one battles and getting separation. But I totally agree, North should get some looks deep with his size. Like last year, I felt like every time we threw a go route, it was to Pig Howard our 5'7'' shortest receiver aka the guy who should be coming out of the slot getting the quick and/or underneath stuff with space to make plays lol

Yea, this is what confuses me. We have a really solid WR corps, but for some reason we struggle to get it to any of them in space not counting a damn bubble screen. Whether that be a drag or slant route against a blitz, or something further down the field. Marquez North, for example, has been non existent and unable to get the ball in space for some reason.

PS: I also did not enjoy seeing Hurd on the sideline on a 3rd and goal from the one.

You asked about Debord, but I'll respond to your post about Dobbs because Debord has only called 3 games 2 of which were against terrible defenses so who really knows..

Dobbs is just not that accurate of a passer tbh. The reason UT fans were so high on him when he came in was because we were used to watching the highly immobile Justin Worley behind an absolutely terrible offensive line. He would just get sacked over and over again, it was frustrating to watch to say the least. Dobbs changed the dynamic with his legs, and we weren't really sacrificing the deep ball threat, because we didn't have the OL to create time to throw deep routes anyway.

Our OL this year (although still weak) seems to be better, and can occasionally buy the time for intermediate-deep routes to develop, but we still have no signs of an improved pass game down the field. IMO this is because it is becoming more evident that the mobility of Dobbs comes at the cost of consistency in terms of accuracy, especially on routes over 15 yards. This has some fans worrying that teams will stack the box and make us beat them over the top, which seems to be tough for Dobbs to do. I think teams are realizing this, due to the Kentucky posters point about them having a lot more game film on him, and that is the reason he looks to have regressed.

Rightfully so. No more "lack of depth" "look what Dooley left us" excuses anymore. Look what Muschamp left McElwain, just as bad as the Dooley situation, and McElwain is in his first year.

This Florida game is an absolute must win, and a loss will be totally inexcusable. If Muschamp can go into Neyland and beat us last year, there is no reason we shouldn't be able to go into Gainsville this year against a first year coach and pull out a W.
