December 8, 20241 yr Georgia, a team we just took to OT, beat them 34-3. Gave up 30+ to 3 unranked teams. The Georgia game might as well have been last season. Besides, Clemson’s defense kept them in that game for most of the first 2.5 quarters. Klubnik was really poor IIRC.

December 8, 20241 yr I'm interested to see if Mukuba knows their offense enough to let the defense know what's coming. I like Wesco and hope he gets covered well end that he's not a factor, but mainly I'm curious to see how/if Mukuba can diagnose their offense.

They’re improved sure, but we’ve seen what they are and I’m not intimidated by anything in particular.

App St 5-6, NC State 6-6, Stanford 3-9, FSU 2-10, Wake Forest 4-8, Virginia 5-7, Louisville 8-4, Virginia Tech 6-6, Pitt 7-5, Citadel 5-7. The fact this Clemson team almost ended up a 5 loss team should tell you they aren't that great.
December 9, 20241 yr Clemson is 2-3 this season against teams with a winning record. The 2 wins being 7-5 Pitt and SMU.

December 9, 20241 yr Well, I'm sure there will be a movie streaming on the Hallmark Channel on Saturday at 3:00 that they can watch instead of the game.
December 9, 20241 yr any intel on the clemson dline and lbs? seems to be the best indicator of sark's out of the box horizontal offense for dummies playbook and if we will get 0 yards per sideways expedition, or 4 yards per. seems like OSU and Tenn in our bracket are those teams, and ducks aren't.
December 9, 20241 yr How the fuck out of all announcers do we get the fucktard sooner?Dusty does study for his comments if you pay attention during his games. But im a little biased, I like his morning show on SXM with DK.

December 9, 20241 yr One thing for sure….. If we get by Clemson to play ASU the defense needs to understand you have to tackle Skattebo by the ankles. Do not try and tackle him above the waist. I remember when we played Pitt in the Bluebonnet Bowl back in the 80’s when they had Craig Ironhead Heyward at running back. He was 5-11 and 265 lbs. Talk about a bowling ball…..he was more like a fucking rhino running the ball. I was screaming at the TV because we kept trying to tackle him up high in the first half and he was killing us by turning three yard gains into 8 yards. Evidently my yelling from Jonestown was heard by Akers at halftime and we started to go for his ankles in the second half and he didn’t do shit. Skattebo is the same type of runner. First or second guy there has to go for his ankles.

Minnesota - VaTech in the Mayo Bowl is another one, as well as almost every Cal and Stanford conference game. SMU had actually played Stanford in the Rose Bowl in 1936. But it was our 2nd meeting this season.

Pretty big and physical but not very fast. SMU worked them on outside throws and speed around the edge.
December 9, 20241 yr Our red zone offense has to get better in the playoffs or it will be an early exit for Texas. Too many damn mistakes on offense. Sark has to simplify shit on offense and practice it over and over and over. More targets to motion, and slants/digs/crossers. Don't call any more corner routes or fades because Quinn can't hit them!! 😡 Run straight at teams and take advantage of the size and strength on our o-line. The lateral shit with our OL pulling against jawja was just such slow developing bullshit that gave up too many negative plays. Need much better production on 1st and 2nd downs so we can improve our 3rd down conversion rate -- third and long sucks for this Texas offense!!! Per CJ Vogel SEC Championship: Texas had 18 3rd down attempts: 10 needed 9+ yds to convert average 3rd down distance was 11.6yds only 4 were 3rd and short (1-4yds) Bulldawgs had 15 3rd down attempts... 8 were in 'short' distances (1-4yds) Edited December 9, 20241 yr by LTtxfan
December 9, 20241 yr Good news too is that Clemson and ASU both have terrible special teams. Clemson #88 SFEI and ASU #76 SFEI.
December 9, 20241 yr Only worry for me is that Dabo has coached and won play-off games. For one of his wins I watched the ESPN coaches broadcast. They would all sit there and suggest a safe predictable call and Dabo would be unpredictable and aggressive instead. Kirby got us twice on trick plays in critical moments in both games. We have to much talent to have that be the difference but if we play with our food it most certainly can be the difference in the game.

December 9, 20241 yr Just now, Drew said: And what’s ours again? #33. Our special teams haven't been as bad as people think. While Bert sucks and our punter sucks, we don't give up big returns in the kicking game. We also don't have huge negative plays on returns. I can honestly live with the short punts because teams don't have any return game against us. Bert is the one that needs to get his shit together.

Yea people saying Banks needs to go because of 1 bad K/P year are special. Removing his added abilities as a recruiter he’s been a solid ST coach for awhile now.

As you mentioned most of our punts are not returned and we have had a few good returns, including Saturday. Coverage on punts and kickoffs have been superb.

December 9, 20241 yr Klubnik and Ewers share some likeness - elite HS programs, highly recruited, have underachieved at the next level. Both struggle with pocket presence and are prone to dumb throws. Ewers is a better intermediate thrower. Klubnik throws the deep ball better and is much more mobile than Ewers. Not saying a lot. Like Ewers, Klubnik is a good QB, nothing more. He won't win / dominate any game. Pressure him, like Ewers, and things can go sideways. He can beat you with his legs so a dimension that will have to be accounted for.

December 9, 20241 yr I hope you’re right but Texas doesn’t have a better win than Clemson right now. Are you kidding? We beat aggy. At Pyle. At Night. Where no one ever escapes with a win.

Also, several other teams on our schedule would be a coin flip with Clemson on a neutral field. Man, I don't think people have watched Clemson this year. They aren't bad but they aren't good. They're a very mediocre football team like the aggy team we beat by double digits on the road.
December 9, 20241 yr If y’all are really worried about Clemson it’s going to be a long playoff. Fortunately nothing that happens on the field is a function of surly worry, or lack thereof.
