Yep. It's time to see what he does against equal or at least near equal talent.

People have definitely not been talking about how INSANELY easy the Ohio State's schedule has been this year. 

Not trying to take anything away from Stroud per se but playing the sisters of the poor every week does factor in.

Some of us have said OSU has had an easy schedule, but most just see Stroud's highlight plays and drool over them and his measurables.

You know he played Michigan last year? We already know what he can do against them. They also had Hutchinson and Stroud was sacked 6 times. 34/49 394 yards 2 TDs and 0 INTs. He played decent, Michigan just lit up his defense with 42 points.

That was then, this is now. People can regress or improve. He hasn't reacted well to rushers the few times that's happened or if his first read isn't open all season, so let's see what happens today.

He is extremely talented and I have zero issue drafting him, for the record.

As I said in one of the earlier Stroud threads, if he's the pick, I'll hope for the best.

Hopefully the right SC team shows up today..

I certainly hope so. The Heels desperately need Clemson to lose this game. If they have any hopes of a playoff berth the officiating in the ACC CG will do whatever they need to do to ensure Clemson wins that game. The Chiefs wouldn't beat Clemson in Charlotte next week if Clemson wins today.

I think NFL wide receivers would have made a bunch of those catches. Even folks who hate the Gators on Reddit had to admit the WRs could not have played any worse. 

I heard five of AR’s main receivers were out for that game 

that probably explains a lot 

I saw enough to know the guy is the real deal 

no worries though, ‘Panthers are gonna Panther’  and Levis, Blaine Gabbert part 2,  will be the pick 

my head will explode

pending DJU doesn’t sabotage things (which he is known to try).  I think odds are high we are throwing up the 8 after today.  DJU IMO is the game.  Bad game, Carolina can win.  And if he has a bad game, it almost has nothing to do with opponents to a degree.  If DJU is playing relatively well for DJ, Clemson should handle things easily IMO.

It'll come completely down to Satterfield like every other game has this year. 
Our defense is just OK.  Still think we're a couple years away from being quality. Linebacker play has been less than ideal. Encouraged by the secondary given how many freshman have come in at safety. 

I don't think i can stomach watching another game where the offense just runs into a brick wall over and over and throws tunnel screens the rest of the time. Can make mediocre teams look all world. See Florida,Mizzou. 

Obviously Tenn was just a perfect storm. But if the offense shows up today and the defense does what it normally does i think we may have our first competitive game in forever.

I think it will be more competitive than the last couple.  Clemson just isn’t explosive like in previous years.  But I thought that last year too. 

Will be interesting to see what SC does.   Carolina fans seem to want some Rattler air assault but that also means lots of opportunities for the Clemson DL to have shots to make plays vs an OL that has struggled all year.  

I think for Carolina to win DJ has to play bad and you need Beamer Ball to make some odd plays.  Some ST gambles or big plays there. I think too many are talking about Rattler and the O mimicking some of last week.

    • Its worse because the NFL would never allow all the teams to join the NFC East or something.  There's a firm divisional structure with a salary cap to make it competitive.
    • Practice tweets/news from today (will post videos in the next cpl of posts if there are any worthwhile): K Ryan Fitzgerald now wearing #10. QB Hendon Hooker has #12. WR Dalevon Campbell has #81. RB DeeJay Dallas was in #1 but it's currently a practice-only number as he was playing the part of Jag's RB Travis Etienne on the scout team (his real number is #20). WR Jalen Coker walked out with a compression sleeve on his left leg. Later seen on the bike. LG Damien Lewis not wearing the red practice jersey anymore, should be full go for Thursday. LT Ikem Ekwonu was at practice but not dressed out as he recovers from an appendectomy. Worked out on the sideline with Jalen Coker + RB Jonathon Brooks. WRs Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, and Hunter Renfrow were all exempt from special teams practice. Likely three starters for Thursday. OT Yosh Nijman got the first looks at LT today. During the post-practice presser, Canales said that there was a lot of good energy today and that offense won the 1-on-1s which included a 40yd throw from Bryce Young to Xavier Legette early to "set the tone" (per Canales). Also stated that Icky is currently day-to-day. Commented on having a training plan for Coker this passed offseason and that he did a great job following it (though the quad issue is one he has had in the past). Renfrow's locker is between Dalton and Hooker (left) and Young (right). Sounds like they're trying to get Renfrow on the same page as the QBs in this offense to replace AT's role as that second set of "QB eyes" on the field. Icky talked about his symptoms that led to his surgery and mentioned that his dad, a physician, was who got him to go. Won't rush himself back, but hasn't ruled out playing Sunday. Renfrow said he had others, but he was either going to play for the Panthers or not at all. Said Bryce called him during the process and that when he was released the team mentioned that the Thielen trade might be coming. Got the news while picking up a trailer at his other job. Also said that Canales told him that he didn't think that he was physically ready yet but wanted him back on the practice squad. The Coker injury changed the calculus.
    • Most things that made it good are already dead, imo. The transfer portal combined with the money makes it all a complete joke. There’s no longer any sense of school pride, at least for me. If my team does well it is in large part because they paid better guys than the next team. When I went to college, I had some basketball players living in the same apartments and they’d show up to parties sometimes. You’d see guys around and they were just normal broke college kids like you. There was comraderie and pride that these guys saw the same school you loved and wanted to be there just like you. All of that is gone. It’s pro sports now, but worse. The players aren’t there long enough to feel like you know the team. No connection, just bragging rights over who has the largest and most affluent donor base.
