I get nervous every game but to me we have to start a lot crisper on offense.

Score early and often don’t take the foot off the pedal.

On one hand, yes, because it’s gonna be a hostile environment with a lot of unknowns (I’m always nervous too!). But on the other hand, I think BV has done well against Jimbo Fisher’s schemes the last few years, and he had more talent at FSU. I don’t think any of our guys will be stunned. They’ve played on the big stage enough. I think it will be a slow start, just to see where we are, and then we pull away late. Tigers by 17

I have reached the point that I fear for the safety of the opposing QB's and RB's. I think it all started when we played OU and Perine, Mixon, and Mayfield were destroyed over and over and looked like the walking wounded by the end of the game. Glad they finally recovered.

Thank you very much. As far as I can tell, the Shaggies don't have Perrine, Mixon and Mayfield. Remember last year at VaTech? That Saturday night crowd was supposed to intimidate. Talent and execution win games, not crowds. GoooooooTigers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Shaggies"? That's clever. We'll see this Saturday how bad the "Shaggies" are. Or aren't. P. S. Our defense ain't no slouch.

Yes!! We are! I hope the team takes us lightly like their fans are. That will come back and bite you on Your ace! But seriously, if we can keep it respectable it will be an accomplishment. Young team on the rise but not next Saturday. Cheers to an injury free game for both squads.

The only reason I’m nervous is I’m going. I also went to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Didn’t turn out so well.

Yep. Not sure how you can be a fan and not be nervous. Nervous every game since DW4 isn’t starting for us. I guess just got conditioned because we always seemed to get and keep a double digit lead. Even with the #1 D, I don’t like being one play from losing.
Biggest concern is aTm TE looked good and imo could be the one place we could get exposed over the middle. Know they were playing nanny st but they looked crisp. There were times on D I didn’t think we were disciplined enough.
We looked crisp when TL was in but not so much with KB. Then again it was first game and tons of rotation. I’ll feel a lot better after we get back with a W.

Only because of the location. Oue team is very talented and talent wins 90% of the time. However, if we get in a early hole the pressure mounds. If wepl ay confident and simply executive from the,start it is,a 14+ point win. Turn it over and press we lose this game. A@M is goid enough with a little help from us. Our B game beats their A game. Our C game comes home with a loss! !

I know to say VT's and Louisville's home field advantage at night is no different than the Aggies' stadium is sacrilege in the world of college football. BUT Clemson handled those two stadium's "12th man" advantage quite well last year. I see no difference. This team is led by veterans who have played in the big games and WON! KB's poise last year in away games is a huge advantage for this year. Add in a sprinkling of TLaw and we got this.

Feels like an FSU-like game with Jimbo and all...
Sep 2, 2018, 9:01 PM
|

....Jimbo knows whats coming.
If I were the Shaggies, then if I had a choice of who I would want coaching the team, it would be Jimbo.
Jimbo's got some serious motivation here after a $75M contract. If the Shags don't show up, Jimbo will have some 'plaining to do to some Ole Texas boys who take their football pretty seriously..
I expecting Dabo knows what they are going into and will get the Tigers into the right mental state of mind.

Aggie here... I don't think most of us expect a win. Hoping to keep it respectable seems to be the sentiment. We're excited about the Jimbo era and most believe the sleeping giant we feel is Aggie Football is finally stirring. Since joining the SEC and redeveloping facilities, all we have been missing is a good coaching staff. Recruiting has been good.
But I don't think any of us are under any delusion that Jimbo is expected to pull this one out. Simply, we don't think he has the right personnel. Sumlin was not a discipline guy. Jimbo is and we saw some of that in our first game... err... scrimmage. The first game didn't really tell us much. We did see players knowing their routes and places MUCH better, tackling was much better. But we have a sophomore QB who was shaky last year and clearly wouldn't have been primary at most major programs last year. He "looked" much better in this weeks scrimmage, but no clue how he does against quality competition.
Across the board, it's clear Clemson has the edge on the quality of players. So that will win the game. I am proud of the gameday atmosphere in Kyle Field and believe it really is unrivaled in College Football (a bit biased here, I know... lol). But I agree with another poster... fundamentals win even in hostile environs.
I don't think anyone's guess on score is good in this one, since our first game didnt tell us much. But Clemson should win this one.

Jimbo's an autocratic curmudgeon but I would not call him a discipline guy.
