What are reasons for confidence heading into Death Valley
Nov 19, 2021, 4:56 PM
|
|
showdown at Noon with Wake Forest ?
I think our Tigers can win this game but it will take their best played game of the year. Offense will have to score some points and keep Wake offense on the sideline.
Looking for some aspects that others feel will get our Clemson Tigers the W ????

I like that ??. But this isn’t a history question, thus is a 2021 Clemson football question. DNA might be the difference, let us hope that’s the case ????

we could have beaten Wake 10000000x in a row. Doesn't matter at all this game tomorrow.

The problem is....
Nov 19, 2021, 5:05 PM
|

that we can't score points against anyone with a pulse. Our defense is good but not going to hold Wake to under 24 when we go three and out 60% of the time.
We need TOs and special teams to pull us over and that's the sad reality.

Agree with you. Offense has to control the game and keep Wake offense sitting on sideline

Brother, based on the 10 game sample size this season the pessimism is justified.
Taking Wake and the 4 points seems too easy. I think our Tigers play good football tomorrow and win 34-24 with a defensive TD

We are the better team, we just need to play mistake free football. Have we done that yet? No but we have the ability & that’s why you play the game.
Nobody & I mean nobody thought we would win the Natty in 2016 because how we played all season but that team came together & played enough to win the ACC Championship but improved to lights out in the playoffs & won the Natty.
We as fans alway pull for our tigers to improve & they will!

I love the optimism but how are we the better team though? They are 9-1 in the same conference we are in and have an offense that is more than able to score 24+ against our defense.
Say Go Tigers and all that, yes. But don't respect an opponent who is clearly better.....THIS year.
Go Tigers!

More than able to score 24+. We’ll see .

No one’s offense has scored over 24 in reg all year on us and the 2 that came closest. Pitts O put up 20 and UL put up 24 were both on the road. Meanwhile we’ve scored 30,30, and 44 against Defenses that are better or equivalent to WF the last 3 games. We win this by double digits.

Not sure we're better than a top 10 team.
However that doesn't mean we can't win.

Contrary to what a lot of people say we have a lot to play for tomorrow. Keeping the nation’s longest home winning streak alive, need this game to keep the 10 win season streak alive, need this game to stay alive at least mathematically for the ACC championship, senior day, and it’s Dabo’s birthday! Lots of motivation there if you want to find it! And I think we will see the best crowd of the year - maybe that will bring out the best offense of the year.

Wake’s defense is on par with UConn’s defense. They’re quite awful. We will score in the 30s. Watch.
We win 37-27.

Wake defense is really bad , ranked about where we are offensively in comparison… but I do feel like we are capable of being better and should be with a couple made plays that we have been missing it seems every game … I feel like this could be a game that with a solid running game we keep them off the field on offense and pound it with a few big throws , I can see us getting to 30 on em and even with our injuries I just feel like our defense at home in the last game for these SRs , will play lights out… I see a 30-17 type win Tigers !
