  1. Here is the thing on Clemson. They have NFL talent on that defense. They still somehow managed to be the worse team in the ACC giving up explosive runs. That happens when talented guys are continually getting out of their gap responsibilities. They give up big plays, because they are not disciplined on defense. Not that I think it is going to make a difference, but take a guess who has the higher rated QB by QBR. Its actually Leavitt (10th in the country by QBR). I think he is a less talented version of Klubnick, but a good college QB (but not one that can carry his team). While I would certainly bet Clemson to beat ASU, based on talent. The actual play on the field says it would be closer, than how the match-up looks like on paper. I thought Texas would win comfortably vs Clemson and I think they win comfortably vs ASU. It would take playing one of the worse games of the season for Texas to lose this game.
  2. FEI has them at 13. Clemson was 15. You can argue that ASU is a better team than Clemson. I would say the sum is better than the parts for ASU. The parts are better than the sum for Clemson, especially on the defense. That said Clemson's A game is better than ASU's. Tough to see how ASU stays in this. I would assume they try to play keep away on offense. PK likes to play a bit of bend and not break defense, so possible that ASU can grind out some time consuming drives. On defense they dont get a lot of pressure. I can see them playing bend and dont break there. Praying that Texas struggles in the red zone. I think if Texas plays a C- game this still might be something like a 23-13 game that is annoying, but never in doubt.
  3. I doubt he is back, buyt does anyone know the availability of Jordyn Tyson? (ASU best WR)
  4. Come on. Skattebo would certainly play for Texas. He would be the reliable power RB that Texas has missed this season. That said there are not a lot of other players that would be major contributors.
  5. it is just the nature of playing QB at a Blue Blood. You are going to get all the perks, but it comes with high expectations. You either sink or swim. Whining about it is not going to help.
  6. Manny gettign a lot of heat here. He definitely deserve it, but he was far from the only issue. I haven't rewatched since going to the game, but LBs were not good in coverage. Guilbeau was benched.
  7. No idea why you are bringing up Georgia, which was a game I said Quinn played well in. I characterized Quinn and the defense's game the same. They played well, but failed to make critical plays in critical moments #1. Love the attempt to pretend Clemson had a run game. #2 Taking out Klubnick is interesting considering he had more called runs than any RB (and I mean called runs). Clemson had 11 runs in total by someone not named Klubnick. Do you think it is logical to take the leading carrier out of rushing game? Not going to go back and take the scramble/sacks out of Klubnick's game, but he had more called carries than any other player. #3 Clemson ran 43 pass plays and 24 runs, that is 67 plays. Klubnick has 56 plays that is 83.5% of the plays. That is a crazy usage rate. Quinn was 70.3% and 64.4% vs Georgia. #4 Success. Klubnick led Clemson to 24 pts with a crazy usage rate vs a defense that averaged giving up 12.5. I was happy they didnt let Klubnick throw on that last goal line series. He put up 3 TDs passes vs a defense that gave up .29 TD passes a game prior. He put up 336 yards vs a defense that averaged giving up 143.07 yards the prior 13 games (211 being the prior high). He did all of that in a game where his defense was struggling. Trust me if Quinn doubled up Georgia's average pts allowed (20.5), this thread would have been much different. My comment on Klubnick being the QB was based on the usage rate and success he had vs Texas. Apparently I have a lot more respect for the Texas defense than you do. Ewers had a very good game, but he was not asked to do a lot vs Clemson, because Texas was dominant running the ball. You do not have to agree
  8. Just wondering if you have Wingo’s blocking grade. I know he had some assignment busts, but I thought he looked good when he knew his assignment (add in 2 PIs). His blocking appeared to be a major upgrade from Bond. That might be part of the reason for all the explosive runs. Too lazy right now to go back and see if it was a factor
  9. Anytime a TE pass blocks it bound to be an adventure. Passing numbers make sense. Quinn threw some more deep, but a lot PI in this game. Texas didn’t ask much of Ewers. That is the way it goes when you threaten 300 on the ground Not surprised by the Clemson numbers. They abused the LBs and slot. Jahdae moved over to NB for a bit. That is when they went after Manny. I just have respect for the output Klubnick had given how little help he had (0 run game) and who he did it against. Tough to play QB and take something like 20 hits in a game
  10. Not sure. Kid definitely has all the physical talent to be very good. I was impressed with the fight he showed. Mentally, he looks like a 1st year starter. It will be interesting to see how much he improves next year
  11. It’s dumb takes like this that keep this thread going. You are just wrong. You don’t have to care about my opinion on your football IQ it’s straight math.. 3 chances to get 15 yards is easier than 2 to get 14. That is making the BS assumption that it is a 100% chance they throw the flag and the BS assumption he is looking to see where the OL are on the play. There was a reason Sark was screaming at Quinn about this. Just throw it away and move on. Quinn didn’t make a lot of mistakes, but this is clearly one
  12. Neither Quinn nor Klubnick were perfect. Both made mistakes, but Clemson asked Klubnick to win the game for him. He had 56 plays were he threw or carried the ball vs the #1 defense in the country (coming into the game). I thought he was great. Both QBs got goods grades for the game, but Klubnick took a much harder test. Just to put this in context Klubnick had 3 TDs passes vs a defense that gave up 4 the rest of the season. His 336 passing yards were the most the defense has given up. 211 was the 2nd highest. I don’t think it is about hate, just giving a kid credit for a gutsy performance
  13. That was a bad play. That was the play Sark was pissed and screaming at Ewers. The OL downfield theory is nonsense. Even if you believe it, you have to have no football IQ to pretend it justifies the slide. 1st and 15 >>>> 2nd 14. Quinn was good vs Clemson, no need to try and pretend he was perfect
  14. Sark ripped into Quinn after that slide. He was pissed.
  15. always be something. Texas ran 70 plays, just saying a lot more good happened
  16. Sark clearly saw something in the film and knew Texas could run on them. I know that’s not creative or exciting. Texas probably had 4/5 long runs on 3rd and longs. He must have identified something in Clemson’s 3rd and longs packages. I know those look like safe calls, but they were really effective today
  17. They were amazing today. Best unit on the football field
  18. That is questionable, but the difference is Georgia can come at you in waves. Clemson can not. Georgia has better Lbs, that is not debatable. Clemson has their own Anthony Hill. Sammy Brown is a really talented freshmen, but has the same issues Hill had in year 1. Lot of boom and bust from him. It is one reason they give up so many long running plays. Dead last in runs over 20 yards with 26 allowed on the season. FSU is the only other team in the ACC above 20 (22) Here is Clemson pts allowed by Quarter: 1st: 6th in the nation 2.3 pts 2Q; 47th 6.8 pts 3rd: 14th 3.7 pts 4th: 119th 10.3 pts https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/opp-4th-quarter-points-per-game
  19. Yes... Clemson has some legit NFL players. They are not deep though. Based on what I have cobbled together on Clemson, the match-up sets up kind of well for the typical Texas offense. Secondary is young. They like to run a lot of man. They have had issues busting coverages, so it is big risk if they try to get multiple. See the Florida game (probably not that bad though).. 13th in opponent passes of 20+ yards in the ACC and dead last in opponent plays over 20+ yards. If you give Sark and Quinn predictable coverages. The opening script and 1st Half Quinn generally put up points. Given some of the depth concerns on the DL. That all sets up for Sark being able to run the ball in second half and put this away. That is at least how it looks on paper. We will see if it plays out like that
  20. But did they have a rap song? Bears defense got a to rap that may put them over the top
  21. I guess you don’t remember or before your time. There are some great story’s on Jamarcus Russell. Supposedly threw a football through the uprights from the 20, while on a knee. Raiders gave him a blank tape and told him to study it. Russell came back the next day and they asked him about the tape. He said I’ve learned a lot. Stories like that
  22. Does Maalik like the purple drank?
  23. I am well aware. He wasn’t drafted because of his athleticism. That was your word, not mine. He was drafted because he was a big guy with a cannon of an arm.
  24. Wow, that is a statement. Not sure you ever saw JaMarcus and his 4.83 40 play.
