Mack doesn't have the best record against App State.
Next week is going to be really tough. I don't expect to beat ASU.

Not trying to start anything but how long before Criswell leaves. Hope I am wrong. He has talent just had Sam and drake to compete against.
After the season. Leaving mid-season wouldn’t make sense as he can’t play for another school this season.
Pro: Some big time talent on the offensive side of the ball. These guys look like legitimate elite athletes that can compete with anyone. Pair them up with a solid OL and this offense can be one of the best in the country the next few years.
Con: The defense was horrendous for most of the game. They forced a few turnovers late that made the final score look a lot more one sided than the game actually was. It doesn't matter how good the offense is if the defense can't turn it around quickly. We need to take big step forward next week if we're going to beat App. Then need to continue to improve the next two weeks before playing ND or that will be a massacre. Fortunately the D has a month to get better before conference play starts. Maybe by the time we play VT this unit will be looking better.

I don't understand why both lines are so weak. Our S&C team needs to figure some things out. Whatever they're doing isn't working.
Seems like that’s been a problem for a long time now… not sure what the deal is there because we clearly have some dudes up front on D
Here's a little piece of perspective that I stumbled across...
In 2016 Clemson beat Troy by a whopping 6 points. That team went on to win the national championship.
This team certainly has zero chance of winning a title, but maybe this will be more of a wake up call, and less of an indication of what's to come for the entire season. Still lots of time to improve the defense. Just find a way to get to 2-0 then we basically have a two week long tune up to get ready for ND.

Same shit different year as for defence...will need too score 40 plus points every game better teams will eat our lunch..DEFENCE SUCKS
It was full in the first half. Once the FAMU band went off the field, all of the Charlotte people left. Late night.
On one of the podcasts this week they said that Cavazos is nursing a minor injury. I didn’t see him out there.
Wasn't full at all from my seats. Maybe 70%. That's better than I expected though.
I don't believe Chizik showed all of his defensive packages saturday. Probably didn't want App St to see what he has. I'm hoping that's the case because the D scheme was very basic most of the game. Secondary was horrible and that was my only area of concern. Balfour #14 was picked on all day and rightfully so.. he was horrible.
For quite awhile the Carolina Way has been the ability to play down to competition.
If not, teams are going to have a ton of redzone opportunities. The word was "simplify" all camp long... And 2015 Chizik had no probs giving up tons of yards tween the 20's.
That’s certainly been a problem historically. But hopefully we’re getting to the point where there is enough talent to overwhelm a lot of teams even on a bad day. Just need to win enough games this year to be appealing to elite talent. That’s why this year is so crucial IMO.
