Seem to notice when the Tiger offense goes into the hurry up mode things click pretty well. When they hesitate and Klubnik try’s to read the defense things don’t go well. This up and down elevator offense is not working. Just let them play ball and play fast if the Tigers have better athletes. Just open it all and let the chips fall wherever.

It was, but we can't expect anything that can be done at this point in the season, the fix should come at the end of the season, and if not, oh well back to past with Dabo saying we're going forward!!!

I don't see it that way. I truly believe things can start to click, at any time,. In teh off season there is no pressure, everything looks good. It can get fixed during the season.

and a breath of fresh air. Balanced and straight to the point with the good, bad, and ugly. We need more of this, especially from the head coach and less of the blah, blah, blah sugar coating. Less of the whistling through the graveyard attitude and more of the “here are our issues and let’s get this thing straightened out.”

It doesn't really matter what the viaches say publicly. Nothing gets fixed by talking, especially at a press conference. It gets fixed either at practice, or in recruiting. The latter is the actual key to the issue.

Though the 51 yd fg was a miss.
He hit it much better than I anticipated.
The leg was there but a few feet to the left.

There was a nice breeze behind Weitz when he attempted the 53 yard FG. The kick itself was comfortably long enough.
We needed points and our offense was stoned by the WF Monsters of Winston Salem’s world class defense. Dabo rightfully had little confidence that our offense would rise to the occasion. He was correct.
On the other hand, our defense was absolutely stoning WF’s offense.
Weighing our need for points vs our ability to stop WF, IMO, Dabo made the correct call.

It's more of what has become the identity of Clemson football, an anemic offense and close games in what is not viewed as a power packed league. Back to the pack, as I have said before, and no dominance on that side of the ball, no matter the opposition.
I once worked with a guy who described a foreign country where he had formerly worked as a country that had, and always would have great potential. That's Clemson's offense, a bright future somehow unrealized.
The meat of the season lies ahead to define how this year will have actually gone---Miami, Notre Dame, and South Carolina. Not too late to salvage things. We'll see if this team finally gels, or is like Jello that sits in the refrigerator for the appropriate time, but never firms up.

Good and accurate read Ryan. This offense needs a major infusion of something other than what we have seen. If they send out the same offense we saw Saturday, some heads need to roll because that was a very, very pathetic display. Hope we don't lose offensive recruits because of Saturday's offensive display. We need motion and hurry up offense now.

If anything, a recruit should look at Clemson’s OL performances and think the door is wide open for a lot of early playing time due to the #### performances we see almost every week. No push on running plays, zero push in goal line situations, and still issues with not knowing the snap counts. Very sad to see this over, and over, and over, year after year!

Ummm...yeah, that game was a hot mess. I'm glad we won, but what went on Saturday was not elite.

scheme. As soon as the ball is snapped tackle any and everyone in the backfield or treat it like the triple option. Have the defensive line play about a half yard back than normal throwing off Wake's timing on blocking and bring a blitzing playing just outside of either defensive end.
