I have Clemson diehard friends. They weren't expecting anything here. Certainly not shocking the world.

Dabo is a drain on that program

Dabo is the only reason that program is relevant.

Unfortunately now that everyone can pay players he's lost his fastball.

true,  UGA, Bama, Texas, Michigan, and everyone else finally has a level playing field with Clemson and can now start paying folks the big money Dabo was doing.   Because that was clearly the secret sauce in Clemson lol.

Depends.  I guess if Clemson is only the 2nd half team vs the #1 team in the nation they can’t beat State.   

But maybe State is really more that first half team that couldn’t handle Western Carolina if we just pick and choose a half 

 

You have to admit, in the first game of the year, youd much rather look good in the second half than vice versa. Dabo did Clemson no favors by playing scared. Who knows how momentum swings if goes on that 1st 4th n 1.

It was over at half time.  Dabo played too conservative and wasted it all while the D played as good as it gets vs UGA.  That was the window.  The first half.  Mafah is a fine RB but you can’t run him vs UGA like you would a Duke.  Gameplan was never about winning IMO. 

for all the talk of Garrett Riley, his O (playcall and design)…..has been trash at Clemson.

I wonder if he is getting green lighted. Looks more Dabo style. If that game is tied at half or within 3, that second half never happens. They were deflated cause coach had no faith.

Just tell them that the score didn't matter today.

I think I’m okay.  I think I can pull of the SC “win” vs Old Dominion was just as embarrassing as our loss.   

Old Dominion gave away that game.  Took two fumbles inside their own 10 for SC to be able to beat them and have any offense.  Think Clemson’s O is going to look like a juggernaut vs South Carolina.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
