The offensive concerns are legit. Once again Clemson has a starting QB that had shown promise prior to being named the starter only to look like he's forgotten how to play QB once he becomes the full-time starter.

and these are also 5 star super gets by Clemson.  So it’s not just they are just making QBs look bad.  They are making top tier prospects look like they belong in D3.

It just seems like something is happening at Clemson that they're losing confidence in their QB and in turn killing the confidence of their QB. The play calling tonight screamed they didn't trust Klubnik throwing the ball and he never looked comfortable out there to my eyes.

I mean, these are kids but they're not dumb. They've been playing and watching football their whole lives. They know when the play caller isn't showing confidence in them and that's gotta effect your head.

History is just correcting itself. Clemson had their time and are going back where they belong. Another team will rise back up into relevance. By the looks of it in the ACC, FSU with UNC getting their chance for a couple years.

Well, I’ll just be a super homer.  If you were going to lose a game,  week 1 is the week to do it.  Clemson dropping a game to an unranked ACC team isn’t something  we haven’t seen before.  I’ll just be delusional and think they got time time fix it and the QB/OC can grow and get better.   10-3 still on the table and keeping the double win streak alive.

The problems with Clemson are very obvious, but nobody wants to talk about it.

Clemson has the most talented roster in the ACC.   And these are some of the best QB prospects any team in the nation can land.  Whatever the talent advantage has been is still in play. 

Clemson has really one issue.  It’s the passing game.  Everything else is in place and has been.  And it’s clearly a coaching/scheme issue.  Because it’s 5 star QBs looking like D3 backups.   Got to think it’s Dabo thumbprint of how they are managing the QB/pass game.   It’s all the same offense on repeat even with Riley,

BOOM, that's how we do it!! @4corners you ready to get some? Leonard is coming for you. Better then Howell or Maye

No but they would have counted as a quality win for FSU if FSU has the season they hope for.  Clemson is really the only one on the schedule for FSU.  So it robbed them of claiming 2 wins against top 10 teams.   Clemson is really the only team in the ACC with real weight to their name.   And the only ranked opponent FSU will likely see.  Someone might sneak into the bottom of the top 25 I guess. 

One thing I have learned in watching sports over the years, and that is that things change every week.  Some teams that we thought were good will turn out to be not so good, and others will be better than we thought. There are several teams on the FSU schedule that could be ranked when FSU plays them.

They might have more five star recruits, but that doesn't mean they have the most talented roster.  Those recruit rankings are guesstimates.  Overall, the more highly ranked recruits you have the better, but they don't always pan out.

Not a fan of Dabo so I find this hilarious.
