If we lose I’m starting up the Cheese Nips Bowl out of spite
With losing some transfer linebackers, who backs up Hummel and Rose for this game? I I know that Rose has been dinged up a lot this year and has had to come out a few times each game.
The real question is will Dabo and Campbell hold hands when they come onto the field?
Very excited for this game. I will say the thing I am worried about most is our OL. Hopefully Jirehl Brock or even if Silas gets touches, play well. Also side note, I bought two cheez it boxes for this game to snack on...hopefully that's our good luck charm.
Not playing from the sound of it. Unless someone is trolling on the premium boardsIt’s essentially what mike rose is gonna do today.
I'm no Venables and I know he's not there but if I'm Clemson I would sell out to stop the run and blitz every passing down.
Channel 13 said Rose isn't playing when they did their sports cut-in this morning.
I can see this game being almost a mirror replica of Minnesota/WVU last night. WVU's Doege had no time to throw, I think he got sacked 7-8 times, and Minnesota was giving nothing on the ground either. Leddie Brown didn't play but I'm not sure it would have mattered. Now, Brock is way more mobile than Doege and can avoid pressure quite a bit better, but it will lead to mistakes as we've witnessed. I'm going in suddenly expecting the worst, will be quite surprised if we can at least play them close, let alone win.
I think the only hope at this point is that we can be highly efficient on offense. Jirehl Brock and whoever else totes the ball needs to be able to get at least 3.5 ypc. Brock needs to be on point, the o-line needs to hold up. Could be asking too much, but I feel like Clemson will be able to run for 250+ yards if they want to, so it will be important that we can not only sustain drives but sustain scoring drives that end in TDs
I'm pretty sure that's what Fales said, but I just woke up and might have heard it wrong also.
Welp. We know how that movie plays out. On the flip side this is a glorified exhibition and I’m all about getting the “next man in” as many reps as possible so it’s not a lose-lose at least.
