They lived up to that nickname. They do not have single playmaker at RB or WR. Their offense should struggle all year to score. Their D may be sound, though.
They looked much sharper and tougher than they did last year. That is a coaching change that seems to be paying off immediately.
ACC football needed that FSU win, as ugly as it was.
LSU set it itself up to lose by QB choice. Jayden Daniels was an erratic QB against the weak Ds of the Pac. His Pac career was Up and Down, over and over. Great plays based on sheer athleticism followed by bad plays based on poor fundamentals.
Perhaps most specifically, what Daniels at QB meant was that LSU's only proven game breaker, WR Boutte, would not catch a pass until late in the 4th. Daniels reads pass coverage poorly and slowly, and FSU focused on covering Boutte. So Daniels was too much 'happy feet' impatient to wait for Boutte to get wide open.
On the FSU side, Jordan Travis looked fine most of the game, but when FSU was about to score another TD and perhaps salt away the game when he made a lousy pitch to the RB, which became a fumble. LSU then drive 99 yards and scored, but had another special teams error and so lost any way.
FSU's D looked good, but there was no way to tell if it can slow down a top notch passing offense.
I agree. I've seen nothing tonight that suggests that the Clemson offense is improved enough for the Tigers to win the ACC.
The offense is really struggling. I'm surprised they aren't running the ball more effectively against GT.
The Clemson D may be good enough to win a National Championship. The Clemson Offense leaves much to be desired. Is Dabo going to risk the Playoffs still hoping that DJ will suddenly look like Drake Maye? Unless Klubnik just looks like a deer in the headlights, you've got to give him a shot. Clemson has too much athleticism at WR to waste it. A good passing game would open up the field for the Tiger running game, and with that D, Clemson could be 12-0 at the ACC Championship Game
Yes, but Clemson does not play Pitt. What Clemson with a dud offense must worry about in getting to the ACC Championship are teams like Wake, Moo, FSU, and Miami. Syracuse looked much improved in its beat down of Louisville.
