Clemson imploded that drive. Their QB just isn't that good.

He has improved though.  Clemson probably getting the best QB play this year they have seen vs the last 3 seasons.   Which isn’t saying a lot.  

I said in recent weeks the key seems to be to run him early….he plays better after that.  Which they haven’t done yet today 3 drives in.  Think it gets his nerves out and he quits thinking.

So, you're saying Dabo needs to give him the Ron Rivera Cam Newton treatment.

Drake Maye was the same way. He played his best when he was running recklessly. His play suffered when we asked him to be more conservative running the ball.

Not to that extent.   But Clemson’s O has always run their QBs.  And none of them have actually been running QBs.    I think there is something to some guys getting hit and defenses respecting that.  

Watson and Trevor weren’t running QBs.  They ran though.  Cade is a decent runner.   As evidence the last couple weeks.

You ask Cade to just drop back and throw all game and it has never really worked out that well.  He has to mix it up IMO.  I think it’s mental.

    • I mean, at the time that wouldn't have worked for them. The truth is that when they had the biggest advantage in that conversation was also when Notre Dame was at their peak arrogance and revenue stream creation(prior to the Longhorns Network, etc). Notre Dame was just never going to work out. The biggest thing they could have done is go hard AF and try to give insane deals to the premier Big 12 teams. Even then, most of them were eyeing the Big Ten and SEC. The biggest issue with the ACC was betting wrong. Miami and Virginia Tech ended up being disasters. Basically former college football powerhouses that ended up being afterthoughts by the time they arrived. I mean Miami specifically have literally had a total of three double digit win seasons since they joined the ACC in 2004 and two of those are in the past 2 seasons. Virginia Tech just fell apart at the wrong time, although I think Franklin will bring them back to prominence to an extent. Had we had it to do in hindsight, probably taking teams like TCU, Baylor, etc would have been wiser options than some of the moves into the Northeast and getting Miami.   But, ultimately, fug all this nonsense. It's the insane greed of college football that killed regional rivalries, college basketball and entire storied, REGIONAL conferences. That is the real blame. The thirst for the destruction of all college sports which sits squarely at the feet of the slobbering, ignorant rednecks and hillbillies at the top of the college football sphere.
