As long as DW4 is on our side...I like our chances even with a -2 on TO margin.

There's not a team Clemson has played

that was ahead in the turnover margin, that had the ball with a chance to win.
Let me spell that one out to , Little One....
Either:
Clemson's opponents were within a score, and Clemson had the ball and scored (didn't commit another turnover) to bring the margin of victory over 2 scores.
OR
Clemson's opponents had the ball where their touchdown score still left them with a need to score again to win.
Now, what significance does your stat have? You better scream louder because its absolutely irrelevant.

let's hope clemson doesn't play down to the competition...
Dec 14, 2015, 10:38 PM

because in its 3, top 10 wins, clemson holds a +6[8-2] margin and won TOP in all 3.
i hope clemson doesn't get caught looking ahead to the title game, but with a relative bye on the 31st, anything could happen.

DeadSolid,
Just curious -- what do you think the final score will be on December 31st?

Dead,
Did Dabo put in the scrubs when you won by 2 against Notre Dame, or 5 against South Carolina, or 10 against North Carolina?

Dec 14, 2015, 11:14 PM
|

and/or the bye on the 31st?
did you have something relevant, maybe why your sooners got donkey punched by a 5-7 tejas team?

Did Stoops have the scrubs in when you LOST to a 5-7 Texas

team? Dabo doesn't run up the score; he gets experience for the backups. Yes, the backups were playing most of the second half in the 58-0 win over the U. Let's hope our return to Sun Life Stadium is like our last time playing there earlier this year or our last time playing the Sooners in Florida.

1) as if you've faced anyone as challenging as ND

2) I expect UNC's offense to be on par with, if not better than, the OU offense...but now we're rested 3) We DID have backups in the bowl game last year...and yet we only let 6 go on the board 4) How much sweat dripped off you when TCU's backup QB nearly beat you, and how large was the sigh when they failed on the 2 to win (unlike ND, who needed 2 to tie)

I expect we will be at +1 following the OU game...
Dec 14, 2015, 11:14 PM
|
|
and +4 or 5 by the time we are natty champs. I don't think we turn the ball over again. I really think we are going to play clean and crisp football after all this time off. This off period could not come at a better time.

that, and a rested Clemson defense will create more opportunities for turnovers
