Also, how can we exploit this? Ummm, you're in the "2024 Playoffs round 1 Clemson at Texas" thread, so of course not. Only Quinn/Arch comparisons are allowed.

December 16, 20241 yr We should have a lot of favorable matchups in this game. Clemson lives on explosive plays and Texas is the best in the country at stopping them. They have a terrible OL and they have issues running the ball. With that said, I have this knot in my stomach about this game. Clemson is coming off of a emotional high and no one is picking them to win. Dabo loves to play the underdog card with his team. Where Texas is coming off a gut wrench loss with some glaring issues on offense. This offense is STRUGGLING in the redzone, turning the ball over, and penalties. Clemson is a shell of its former self but they still have dudes. As much as we should win this game on paper by double digits, I could also see a scenario where the offense struggles to put up 20 points, missed FGs, penalties, and stadium that looks like it may not even be full with how ticket prices are looking. Clemson doesn't even have to play a great game, they simply need to hit 1-2 explosive plays, commit to stopping the run, and let this offense shoot itself in the foot with mistakes. Hope Sark has these guys in a good mental state coming off that loss because we have everything set up for us to make it to the national championship.

Dude, your worries are just vibes. It’s like all the people picking aggy to beat us- no stats or matchups analysis. Clemson is the best draw we could have asked for in these playoffs

Clemson is the best draw we could have asked for in these playoffs I completely agree. It's a great matchup for us. Call it vibes or whatever, I just have a bad feeling this team is going to show up flat after that loss. Hopefully the stadium sells out and the fans bring the energy. Maybe I'm still taking the last UGA game hard watching us give it away. Regardless, Hook em!

December 16, 20241 yr Bond didn't heal when he sat out for Miss St. It's been lingering for a couple months at this point, so I am doubtful 2 weeks will be enough for him.

He needs to not play then. Maybe we can get him back if we get to the championship. He is a net negative out there right now. We need Wingo to step up and catch the ball. He has had the dropsies.

Really sucks. For the first few games I thought Bond might have been an upgrade from Mitchell. Any chance he'll come back for his senior year?

December 16, 20241 yr 37 minutes ago, BurntOrange&White said: IMO if he can't practice he shouldn't play....can't have a receiver going half ass on routes. Totally agree. Bond giving up on a tipped ball directly led to a turnover. We shouldn’t risk it- he’s a liability when hurt
December 16, 20241 yr Bond should probably just sit and try to get healthy for a semifinal and hope we get there. We 'should' be able to win the next 2 games without him if we play well. I'm not sure we could win a semi or a final without him healthy.

December 16, 20241 yr They can trot out whoever they want. Our defense will run. It’s our offense that’s a problem. If it’s close at half time we may be in trouble because this team shits the fucking bed in the 3rd and 4th qtrs.
