  1. I apologize for the video. I couldn't find a full game copy anywhere so had to rip a few plays. @Dahobbswas explaining a little bit of this to a fellow poster. ZSo thanks to him for getting the ball rolling. Let's get this out of the way right now. For those of you that didn't think Dabo was a good coach we just all fucked around and found out on Sat-ur-dee. Ole ball coach played us like a fiddle. They had a lovely opening script capped off with a double pick that we actually helped with but we will get to that in a minute. They got on the board first and then Sark and PK proceeded to drag their balls on Clemson's facemask by going on a 31-3 run. The offense did it's thing but PK's defense settled in and stymied the Clemson offense. However Dabo, as championship coaches do, found something. He sped up their offense when he got the right defensive personnel on the other side. Two things that did. We lost our pass rush because the guys caught in the game aren't the type that gets pressure. Second, when a defense is sped up they scrap the exotics and stick to simplistic defensive schemes like man v man or basic zone schemes. So by doing that they could slow our pass rush and manipulate our secondary. To do that your coaches have to be pretty savvy and have a QB with full command of the passing offense. So we shouldn't see that too often so we can all relax. If we do then PK is a dumb ass for falling for the same trick twice. So let's get into it shall we? I mean what the hell were the refs looking at here. First thing first I am wondering if this was a mistake by our secondary here to start. I know we are in man but instead of letting the routes tell us which man we are taking Barron and Guilbeau cross streams and allow the TE/Barron route to pick Guilbeau. The TE is literally blocking Barron well past the five yard mark for a pass that is being thrown past the line of scrimmage. Guilbeau is already out of position only to be physically blocked a second time, again for a pass thrown past the line. To miss an illegal pick once is bad but two times on the same play? Come on refs. 1.mp4
  2. Yeah I don't get that at all
  3. I tried to watch them play but it's hard to find a comparable opponent. Did you see one that you thought was a good watch?
  4. @immamac is a solid dude. You should've said hello.
  5. The ONLY reason we are not celebrating QE's time here is because a guy with the name MANNING is behind him. That's it. Dude is the 3rd winningest quarterback to play here in my lifetime. It's a shame that he will leave here being unwelcome to come back when we have no idea if the dude behind him can fill his shoes. That is a weird situation to be in.
  6. 5 yards isn't that far away. A lower trajectory ends with us coming to the Quinn thread and bitching about another tipped ball interception. Always best to avoid that if possible. Also, this fanbase should know more than any other fanbase that grumblings reach far and wide and end up affecting the team directly. Confidence is everything in sports. Everyone has 10 fingers and 10 toes. What separates the good ones is mental. Nothing you can do worse to a player than kill their confidence. I can tell you from behind the scenes that Quinn is not having a good time here. The backup QB can do no wrong at all as far as the fans are concerned. No one appreciates the guy even though he could go down as the best QB in our lifetimes depending on what happens the rest of the way. That has to be mentally exhausting. Dude is coming up on a lot of records even though dude has only played 3 years and missed games each year. People are ready to push him out even though the dude has played in two conference championships, won one, is in his second straight playoff and has every chance to win the NC. Crazy to think about.
  7. I think Oregon might have something to say about who has the best receivers. Those dudes can fly.
  8. Clemson's receivers were a known commodity prior to playing us. It was well known who we were going to have to deal with and sure as shit they pantsed the shit out of our DBs. But just looking at skill. They left their feet a lot. They caught with their hands, not basket-catching everything. That isn't just a they played well against us thing. They were good and physically dominated out DBs.
  9. This is the statement I don't get right here. We played Georgia last game and we ran for 58 yards at 2.6 yards per carry as far as backs are concerned. Clemson ran for 71 at over 6 yards per carry as far as backs are concerned. Their offense barely had any penalties and as a team they had 5 for 65 yards. Our offense had quite a few holding calls and as a team we had 11 for 94 yards. Klubnik operates out of a sideline to sideline, QB friendly, 4 wide offense, with better receivers than we have that simply just doesn't run the ball much. Quinn operates out of a ball control offense that asks him to save us in long yardage situations after it gets itself in trouble not being able to run. These are the 3rd down situations for both QBs. We won't put names on them. 3rd and 3 3rd and 1 3rd and 3 3rd and 2 3rd and 4 3rd and 3 3rd and 4 3rd and 4 3rd and 5 3rd and 5 3rd and 5 3rd and 6 3rd and 5 3rd and 7 3rd and 9 3rd and 7 3rd and 10 3rd and 7 3rd and 10 3rd and 14 3rd and 14 3rd and 15 3rd and 14 3rd and 16 3rd and 15 3rd and 15 3rd and 17 3rd and 22 3rd and 26 3rd and 27 6-18 rate 3-12 rate Which list performed better on 3rd down? 6-18 is Quinn. Given the situations and what kind of offenses they both operate in, how do you come to such a wildly different conclusion? If we don't drop a TD pass and miss two field goals Klubnik scored 24 and Ewers scores 29. Both against relatively equal defenses. Klubnik threw for 332 and Quinn for 358. Then you can go back and look at how Klubnik performed vs Georgia. 18-29 142 yards and 1 interception. They had 66 yards rushing and were 4-14 on 3rd downs scoring 3 points total. 3 total points. I honestly don't get it. From my perspective I saw TWO quarterbacks who didn't play perfect, but both were doing everything they could to keep their team in it. You other guys see one guy who played great and the other guy who played shitty even though the output is roughly the same.
  10. Look at the post below. Quinn has to throw the ball over a free rusher to get it to Blue but instead of seeing that and praising Quinn for a good throw under pressure we are talking about how he nearly fucked it up. Just like you. Some of us just see the game differently. You wanna know why my kid is a soon to be D1 athlete? Because I see the positives and encourage her confidence. You guys are busy tearing down a guy who is the number 3 QB here in our lifetimes and could be two or one depending how this season finishes.
  11. Clemson has the 3rd best receiver corps in the playoff behind Ohio State and Oregon. I am not sure why us people around here don't wanna give credit where credit is due. They are superior to us in this regard. They had 3 guys out there making Golden level catches.
  12. I explained the play to someone that didn't know what happened. No one said Quinn played perfect. That is your expectation not mine.
  13. Our quarterback throws the ball away all the time too so what are we going on about? A single rpo where he tried to run but decided not to have a go at the defender? Let's move on.
  14. That's not how a person thinks in the flow of the game. You pull the ball and see you can't throw it. Next thought is shit I gotta run. You are not out there calculating how things are gonna work out yardage wise on a pad and paper. You know you cannot throw it late so you try to run. Then you don't wanna get hit when a defender comes free. Simple as that. Get over it.
  15. I've been waiting for someone else to say this because had I said it we would've added 4 pages to this thread. Klubnik threw balls at receivers feet. Threw balls too wide out of bounds multiple times. Tried to throw a ball over Makuba and almost got picked. Tried to throw a ball backwards and pretty much fumbled, and even had the dreaded batted ball INT that we are on Quinn about. It's just the way they play spreading you out 4 and 5 wide and chucking it all over the lot looks pretty and piles up yards so fans tend to like it.
  16. Regardless of how you feel about it throwing it was not an option. Ideally you run and get some yards. He took off that way and for whatever reason decided not to take on the defender. Call him a pussy or whatever you want but that's what happened. I don't really care whether you think it showed low football IQ or not. People seemed to be confused as to why he did it so I explained the play.
  17. Fire off the ball and break when you git the receiver to turn their hips. Expect the ball on the outside to use the sideline to protect the pass.
  18. If a player that usually throws the ball in the stands doesn't there will usually be a reason. Looked to me like RPO. Line is running blocking so you have to pull the ball and throw it immediately as to not get called for linemen downfield. Saw something he didn't like and aborted the throw and left the pocket. At that point any throw, inbounds or not, past the LOS is a penalty.
  19. I mean I gave it to him. Or he can go watch who was on the field on some of those throws. 88 isn't a good pass rusher. We saw that last year. So when we get caught without 11 and 8 on the field while trying to maintain rush lane integrity you get what you got.
  20. still waiting on you to answer my question.
  21. Just a theory but I think Ant was Klub's spy and was having trouble dealing with the conflict they were putting him in. Usually he just has to come downhill and clean up the scraps but it looked like he kept being wrong on whether to cover or come after the QB when he left the pocket.
  22. Klubnik threw a lot of off balls they just caught them. The comeback on the sideline was high. The out that the dude had to jump for and then barely got a foot down. Even the TD to the RB was behind him he just turned and brought it in. Some of his throws were very good but they were catching the hell out of some passes tonite.
  23. No. What was happening was the receiver would push off at the last minute to get separation. Muhammed plays the man instead of the ball so that is particularly hurtful to his game because he isn't close enough to break it up through the receivers hands like he usually would do. The receivers they had were pretty good. You don't see that kind of slick play from a receiver at the college level. Those are veteran NFL moves right there.
  24. We want Ohio State because Howard doesn't look like that vs more complicated defensive schemes and our pass rush is a little more potent when we are facing less of a running threat.
  25. Hill. I think he got pulled some after that because he was bad in coverage.
