Marcus Freeman has a real problem getting his guys ready for the road. All 4 road games this season, they've looked sluggish and mentally out of it.

Wow. This team brought their F game.

Playcalling wasn't the issue there. Hartman needs to go with the higher completion play to Merriweather instead of trying to force it to Greathouse. The play was there.

ND gets a quick score early in the game, and both offenses flounder about for the next 20 minutes. ND goes into the break up 10-0. Clemson finally breaks through to make it 10-7, ND punts, but then Clemson turns it over and ND cashes in. ND then adds another score to ice the game. Clemson gets...

Morrison had a quad strain, and was kept out as a precautionary, so I'd say it's a safe bet he plays. Hart, I'm less sure, but frankly, with the way Mickey and Gray are playing, I'm not sure that's the biggest deal.

That's contingent on TVD leaving early for the draft, which I don't see happening. He's on the fringe of the top 10 QBs in the '24 Draft. He's better suited to come back in '24, because the '24 QB class is way too stacked. And Miami hasn't exactly set the world on fire under Cristobal. I...

IIRC, FSU was favored over Clemson this year.

Yep, it's basically the scene in a Few Good Men when Demi Moore is asked to step outside so they could talk about her behind her back.

The ultimate saying is, the best ability is availability. You can't have a good OL if you are missing guys left and right. The Bears need to upgrade in their interior, but they should have a quality OL. But missing guys like Jones, Davis and Jenkins is not helping them in any way shape or form.

Conference tie-ins are just utterly stupid, and should've been abolished years ago. It's utterly ridiculous how a team with 3-4 losses end up in a NY6 by virtue of just being in a certain conference. Whereas another team might be screwed despite being 10-2. North Carolina in 2020 (8-3)...

This is why I think ND wins. It comes down to the battle up front, both ways. ND's OL vs. Clemson's DL and Clemson's OL vs. ND's DL. Clemson hasn't faced a team as strong as ND is up front on both sides. That includes FSU. FSU has a good DL, not as good as ND's, but their OL leaves much to...

I like him, but I'd prefer going after Ogboko.

It's irrelevant moving forward, but it depends on the year. Depending on the year, what NY6 bowls end up being the playoff games means ND could have more openings to take or less. In 2019, ND was 10-2 and didn't make a NY6. Reason being, that year, the playoff games were the Peach and Fiesta...

No. The NC State game is a total reach on your end. Hartman wasn't doing anything particularly special to keep us from losing that game. That game was opened up thanks to the defense turning it on and forcing Armstrong into his shell. ND went into the USC game completely emotionally exhausted...

Yeah, I was factoring in that Miami was playing with their backup QB. I also think Miami's offense is kind of being exposed as fake lately. The A&M game looked like they were budding into a good offense, but the Georgia Tech and recently, the Virginia game was a crash back down to reality...

Sorry, but no Lax. You can't wash away 4 losses to sheer dumb luck. If they keep happening, that's not luck, that's part of their identity. Period. And even in the Duke game, Duke made several unforced errors. Hell, Clemson's only TD that game came off a muffed punt. They also fumbled the ball...

The problem is that trading for OL mid-season isn't really common, nor is it going to likely result in an upgrade. OL tend to play better when there's cohesion and chemistry. The Bears have been a makeshift unit all season due to injuries. The injury to Jenkins resulted in them having to move...

...Really? We'd lose 2-3 more games if we don't have Hartman? I could see maybe the Duke game, but really, what else? NC State? Nope. ND's defense had them on point and really, Hartman didn't play that well, especially early. I don't see Angeli being that much of a downgrade. USC? Nope...

Not saying there's no way Clemson can win, but c'mon Lax. Really? No, they couldn't "easily" be 8-0. Sure, they made some critical errors in scoring position, but that can't be wiped away as mere coincidence when it keeps happening. Eventually, that becomes who you are. And them being in a...

Clemson is 93rd in Yards Per Play. They're really not rolling up decent yards. ND meanwhile is 13th in Yards Per Play, in spite of the poor showings against Louisville and Duke. The thing is that Clemson has had the luxury of playing some REALLY bad offenses who can't hold onto the football...
