Just for clarity sake, Dabo wasn't 108-0. Clemson was 108-0. Dabo is like 59-0. Well, 59-1 now. Second, I went back and looked at the Tenn. stats just for giggles. It wasn't 200 and 200 but it was 320 and 164. And we lost by 17.

So, that is 2 games in a row where we far outgained the opponent and still got waxed. That speaks to a lack of preparation, discipline and focus. Something we rarely had to worry about in our 6 playoff run and Scott and BV as DAbo's key lieutenants running the day to day.

There is a lot to unpack and a lot to get corrected. My biggest concern is does Dabo have the horses in both talent and coaching to get it done.

Time will tell...

An Answer: WHAT you might consider is that extrapolating such far ranging impacts on the program is little more than emotionalism run amok.

It isn't necessary, nor even real.

The much more likely problem is simply that in both games we had a QB who was playing in only his 2nd and 3rd games only. Calibrate that: 2nd and 3rd. Remember that guy Trevor Lawrence and his 2nd game - Syracuse? Didn't go so well to the point that when he made a mistake sliding (Cade wasn't the first one to do so), TL16 didn't even finish the game, and #### near brought down an eventual Natty-winning season.

Cade is neither TL16, nor DW4. Just like Kelly Bryant wasn't and just like DJU wasn't. We have to stop expecting guys who aren't ready to deliver results otherwise.

Finishing in the Red Zone takes a lot of things to go instantaneously (or almost so) right, and having an inexperienced QB is the very first place to send things awry. Having an obtuse OC, and a piss-poor OL as usual, doesn't help, and further stresses the results we see from the QB.

Clemson fans need to s.t.f.u. No one is better prepared to lead than Dabo. And while he has made mistakes, he's not nearly as amateurish at leading and caretaking the Program as most would have us believe, nor as amateurish as EVERYONE ELSE would be themselves if actually elevated to that position. People who say they know better - and there are a few here routinely - have real Ego problems and probably should be limited from certain aspects of public life. They're not good for themselves or others around them. You know who they are.

It's a fact: People who undermine and subvert can bring down institutions much faster than can outside forces. Clemson fans need to decide who they're going to be: a help or a hindrance.

Support your Tigers. Stop acting like it's your job to tell them how to be. They're going to be fine.

They might not be the Tigers of 2016/2018, but then again, when were they before?
