Hot Rod has progressed so much over the past 2 years. I appreciate his feeling the need to apologize, but he did nothing last night to warrant an apology. Kid played his #### off.

I agree!! My favorite play of the night was when Rod burned Clowney and picked up good yardage around the left side. Classy kid and great teammate!! No apologizies needed Rod.

They just blame it on "mistakes" and the OL not being "tough".
Pathetic.

Rod doesn't need to apologize. Futhermore,I don't want an apology from Pres.Barker,David Wilkins,Terry Don Phillips,Dabo Sweeney,Chad Morris,Brent Venables,any other coach or player. F the apology.Just fix the problem. I thought we did that when Bowden left.Apparently not so!

Nope. Batson is still there and will be next year. Who's responsible for that? Doesn't the buck stop at the top?

Why didn't we utilize him and Ellington more on toss sweeps
Nov 25, 2012, 10:44 AM
|
|
and screen passes? Hell, anything to neutralize the SC pass rush.
This was, by far, the worst play calling game of Chad Morris' tenure. Absolutely pitiful!

but I as some of you have implied, I can clearly see that we needed to run the d@mn ball a lot more...Ellington & Hotrod both had reasonable success & that would have given the D some much needed time on the bench...

it would have slowed down the pass rush
it would have kept Boyd off his back
it would have given Boyd an opportunity to hit shorter passes, taken advantage of their aggressiveness
it would have given Boyd a chance to hit those long balls that he is soooooo used to hitting and you could see him thinking "if i can get it down the field, we would be back in this" The level of competition that we have been playing was not the same as last night - It's been way too easy, and made us way too complacent.
it would have probably guaranteed coach Morris the HC spot at NC State.

I like the Seersucker jacket, and I appreciate the way you played yesterday and this year. You persevered thru the years and brought it to the field when called upon.
Now your life is not about football. Finish strong in the classroom, get your degree and work hard for yourself and your family. Good luck & best wishes ...

The pitch play right at Clowney seemed like a play CM would have went to more. RM ran the ball really well.

I doubt there was a single player that didn't give it their best effort. Shame on anybody who would think that any of our players or coaches would not give all they have in these games. They play their hearts out, and then some on here act like they choose to lose. Unbelievable!

Maybe some of us didn't see what you saw. I'm sure that not one player on our team didn't do what they could've done. But the play calling wasn't that good at all. It was like the play calling was to challenge Clowney to beat us. And he did.

Of course, I don't know what is in each player's heart, but in all my time as a player in high school and at Clemson, I never felt like there was anybody, including players, coaches staff, etc. who didn't give their best effort in a game. Sometimes the plays don't work, or you get beat by a more talented player/opponent, or a play or an assignment gets botched, but I never walked off the field thinking somebody went about their job in a half arsed way or just decided to quit on their teammates, and that didn't happen Saturday, either.
