UNC defense is a bit sus to hang with a top tier team

Gibbs is getting 5 yards a carry. Why avoid running?

Agree but this is going to be a close one.  LSU defense is looking tough

Who is the worst 1 loss team?  Probably either Illinois, Carolina, or Liberty.

I might would say Illinois....
 

Illinois has two loses

A bit? Our staff needs to wake up and realize we need to be trying to score every time we touch the ball no matter what. Mack Brown's post-game interview gave me some hope that might be happening. They can't think they can take their foot off the gas and go conservative and lean on the D. That's just not an option.

My hopes hang on the fact that I honestly haven't seen any dominant teams this year. Not sure there's a team in the field that would be a threat to win it all in a normal season. Just seems like a down year in terms of teams. Still some great draft prospects, I just don't see any dominant teams.

I'm expecting the QB change for Clemson again in the 2nd half. Not sure why it didn't stick last time. DJ just isn't that guy. Put him on a borderline top 25 team and he's a JAG.

I wish.  Dabo has been hellbent on proving folks wrong about DJ.   Cade should of been developing and taken over by now.  

wind is too bad.  Need Cade’s legs.  It should be an easy call but Dabo going to Dabo

Come on Clemson

It's baffling. He didn't hesitate to yank a pretty good college QB for Trevor Lawrence. DJ is better than Kelly and this other kid may not be Trevor Lawrence but the other kid looks like a better QB than DJ and that's all that really matters.

This is true, which makes Maye’s numbers more remarkable… The guy is asked to continuously match every score. I’m not sure why these highly touted recruits seem so out of sorts.

The D IS improving. Going from utterly hapless to run of the mill not very good is significant improvement. Now I'm hoping we can go from not very good to decent. Our second half improvements gives me some hope. We've quietly been a pretty damn good second half defense in recent weeks. Our trash first half defense just makes it hard to realize.

After watching Tennessee beat Alabama on their home field,, then get manhandled by Georgia on their home field.. I disagree.  Georgia is elite . 
 

I do hope UNC can beat Clempson, but it’ll take some help to get an 12-1 UNC team in the final 4.  
And let’s be honest, the final four is all there is in college football anymore. So many players sit out of bowl games it’s not a true test of who had the best football team during the season. The bowl games are not the best players of team X playing the best of team Z

Expand the playoffs.

UNC's only hope is to face an undefeated Clemson team. The problem with that is that the ACC isn't gonna let an undefeated Clemson team lose the ACC CG if they can do anything to prevent it. We'd have to hammer them. If it's competitive you'll see manufactured calls to make sure the ACC has a team in the playoffs.

Expanded playoffs are coming. I just don't know why it wasn't instituted immediately. Why wait?

Kelly Bryant was a better football player.  DJ a better pure passer.  I’d take Kelly all day over DJ in the Clemson scheme. 

Cade is probably the best QB prospect not named Trevor that Clemson has landed IMO.  Watson probably the best QB overall when it all was said in done but he wasn’t as highly regarded coming in

That late hit no call was absolutely terrible…gotta fix that
