As a Clemson alum, we don't belong in the top 25 after this. Pathetic performance.
Sorry, Mikeler. That was such a strange game from Clemson. So many mistakes and red zone issues. It's not like they weren't in position to score 28 or 35 points themselves. For me, the most worrisome aspect of the game was Clemson's D. They had so much trouble with Leonard. Check out these stats:

Clemson had 12 more first downs, 48 more yards and both threw and rushed for 200 yards -- a stat, Swinney noted afterward, that had correlated to a 108-0 all-time record for the Tigers before Monday night.

The return of Chad Morris.

Same thing happened against Tennessee in the bowl game last year. 484 total yards and 14 points. Not closing the deal.

More disturbing to me is the elite passing attack is gone. New QB, new coordinator. We don't have the WRs like we used to.

The return of Chad Morris.

Yes, he is an advisor now. The offense does look like when he started at Clemson. We lacked downfield threats back then so all kinds of screens and short passes was how he got started. Missing the Watson/Lawrence days but so happy to have college football back!

Ian Fitzsimmons on ESPN made a great point comparing Dabo’s aversion to using the transfer portal to Coach K initially refusing to go the one and done route. If you’re smart, it only takes a few years of losing to learn to adapt to changing times.

I'm not sure why Dabo has such an aversion to it. All my FSU friends say they picked up a lot of talent from it last year. Whatever it takes to put the best players on the field that is legal should be used.

Honestly I'm not even a Longhorns fan even though I've been living in Austin for almost 30 years, but seeing all the Alabama fans flashing the Horns Down sign, I was really happy to see them get smoked like that. Also it looks like Colorado is legit...

Pac12 currently has 8 teams ranked in the Top 24, and the best win % of any conference.

Going out with a bang.

Was nice to see the Louisville Cardinals expose the habitually overrated Fighting Irish. They're now 6-0 under new coach and alum Jeff Brohm.

Washington wins a close one. Now my Tar Heels host the U, we will see how they do as they haven't really played anyone yet.

Would not want to be that Oregon K for awhile. Or Lanning either.
