Tar Heels versus Tigers official game thread

Alright guys, don't turn on these Heels! They're struggling but its FAR from over! And even if Clemson comes out ahead, its been one HELL of a season!

It has been one hell of a season you're exactly right ... Just sucks to finally get to THE GAME and play like this .. I knew Clemson had a slightly better team but our guys are playing like they're scared .. No excuse for that

I'm suddenly not going to miss Seth Littrell much.

I guess we now see we don't belong int he CFB playoff.
 
So this might sound like sour grapes but I promise you it's not but I won't watch the CFP games. I honestly don't give a rat about any of the teams in the final four so why waste my time watching it? Don't care who wins it.

Yeah I wanted to win this one really bad but the lack of depth is rearing its ugly head. I actually told my wife tonight that Clemson is about 5 years ahead of where Carolina hopefully will be. Still feeling the burn of sanctions.
 
Proud to be a Heels fan no matter what happens tonight. But MW is not in the game mentally. Please put in Mitch. Dang Fedora. Loyalty to a one senior compared to doing what is best for the team.

Yep I believe you're right ..better days ahead for sure .. Let's see if we can make this a game
 
Sigh.... This is why we will not be considered a national contender. First major team we encounter and totally wetting the bed. I expected a better game than this.
 
Another tough run by Hood. Too bad there is no passing game to force Clemson to defend, which would open all kinds of holes for Hood.

MW again misses.
 
Now we know why Clemson has had the best defense in college football the last two years because they are solid everywhere. Their pass rush is like a NFL team and they play a man to man coverage that has blanketed the Heel receivers all night.

Sanctions have zero to do with tonight's outcome. Please do not start reaching for excuses.
So being 20+ scholarships short on the roster has nothing to do with depth? I'm not reaching for any damn thing. How about you quit you over reactions and step away from the damn ledge.
 
Look, we haven't faced this kind of defense all year long so what did we realistically expect? Did we really think Clemson would roll over and let us put up 50 on them? Sorry, as bad as they may have looked at times, they are not #1 for nothing.

Can you imagine what Alabama's defense would do to MW?

As great as this season has been, we are playing a better team who is better prepared to be at this level. We aren't there yet, but even as bad as it is, we are still fighting and that sure means a lot to me. MW is way off on his passes and our defense, although WAY better than last year, still has its problems and Clemson has exposed them.

See! We get a pick and are still fighting. Win or lose, this team is light years better than anything we have seen in years. It sucks we are getting rolled, but dang if this hasn't been one heck of a seaon.

But it ain't over just yet! Let's see how it will play out.

I still say we have a good defense and a good team all around. We're playing the #1 team here.
 
Clemson is good but Williams has looked tight all night... Not saying outcome would be any different but Mitch looked 1000 times better on 1 play them Marquise looked in 3 quarters.... Hell of a season to the Coastal Division Champs!!!!
 
U tell me to step away from the ledge because I say the sanctions have zero to do with this game? Check yourself there pal.

Depth has zero to do with the outcome tonight. We are simply outmatched man on man in a lot of key spots. Clemson is very good and we can't seem to maintain any drives on offense which is keeping our defense on the field for extended periods. We aren't getting a push on D which is allowing Watson to do whatever the hell he wants to do. Take that uphill climb into consideration and then we have a head coach who makes a fake punt call like that.....we need all the help we can get right now.
