Clemson Football vs Georgia Tech: Offensive Grades
Many fun things happened this week, including a PED scandal, several almost-upsets, and more Coastal Chaos.
The Tigers took on Virginia and Virginia Tech, both Top 10 teams, this past week, losing 0-2 to Virginia and beating the Hokies 3-2.
Elliott agreed that while Clemson might have deserved some criticism in the past, they don’t now.
“We had to get a conference win to stay in it. …” They can, but I’m not sure anybody has.
Throughout the second half, especially after the second goal, Clemson exerted its will on the game more and more.
Johnson was encouraged by the team’s fight in the second half against Clemson, the kind of effort that has kept them in every game. This is also the first time since 1952-3 that they’ve started 5-1 for two consecutive years.
Stanford (4-1). Off before hosting UCLA on Thursday. Although Duke has won five games this season, they haven’t quite played the most brutal schedule. Impressively enough, Pitt has 21 sacks and 40 TFLs on the year.
But Boston College is up next and, yes, it’s the biggest game of the year. In their first two ACC games, the Panthers choked Virginia Tech and Virginia with a combined 18 tackles for loss. Just go read this article, it’s wonderful. North Carolina State jumped out to a 10-0 lead, but didn’t do much after that.
Although BC’s offense is worse than anemic at this point, the defense remains one of the most stout in the nation.
Of Clemson’s 11 losses since the start of 2011, the Tigers were FPI “favorites” – that is, they had a greater than 50 percent likelihood of winning – in five. They’ve got three losses.
Notes: ESPN exercised its six-day option for selecting the kickoff time for the October24 game against Florida State at Bobby Dodd. Defeated bye and will host Alabama next week. Through only six games, he has two interceptions and a forced fumble. Against Clemson, for instance, the Jackets rushed for 71 yards, the lowest total in Johnson’s 100-game tenure. RB Dalvin Cook ran for a 23-yard touchdown with 6:44remaining as the Seminoles notched a home victory. This game will be fun to watch. Those teams are Boston College, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina State and Virginia.
Miami’s final game of this treacherous month will played at No. 25 Duke on October31st.
You Were the Chosen One!!! So he outrushed the entire Georgia Tech team. “Statistically, you’ve got to respect what they’ve done”, said Elliott. Wouldn’t be too big a change.
Other teams have stayed off track, putting themselves in holes within the conference. And you’d be near the top of the conference! Yay!
The downer for Duke came on a third-quarter stretch on defense when three players left with injuries. Sigh. Nothing goes their way over in Charlottesville. Clemson is good, Miami is still trying to put everything together, but we’ll see how that game turns out.
Oregon is now 3-3. The Cavaliers have only three seniors on their squad. Also, Harbaugh did this… while winning by thirty-one points. Now, the Orange has to make up ground after going 2-2 in non-conference games. Clemson has been on fire lately and they look like a serious playoff contender. While the latter matchup sounds amazing, anyone who voted tOSU #1 in the nation needs to have their voting rights revoked in all future polls and presidential elections, lest their insanity spread and elect Donald Trump as POTUS. Given up 14 total points to teams not located in Utah. That’s difficult to digest for many observers who still want to consider the Hurricanes to be on the national level.
