Good Luck!

 

[BGIF]

Cuse running with ease.

Their screen pass actually had a screen of blockers instead of a sea of defenders like the ND screens. Their WR did nice job of cutting across the middle and blocking the MLB. Nice play.

 

[BGIF]

Clemson running even easier.






14 points in 4:23 and I took the under ...

 

[BGIF]

Clemson missed a FG on their next drive and Cuse scored in 2 plays, 80 yds,

SYR 14- CL 7 5:13 1Q


Cuse had trips right and the inside receiver was only covered for about his first two steps the defender left him to the Safety to pick up and there was no Safety there. 66 yds wide open.

[dwshade]

Hunter Johnson likely to take over at QB with Bryant injured.

 

[BGIF]

I understand injuries have put limitations on CL's offense but Middle Tennessee State put 30 points beating SYR.

 

[dwshade]

Wow Johnson isn't even 2nd string QB.

Wow Johnson isn't even 2nd string QB.

But he's the better passer on a mutually small sample of work. 176 QB Eff Rating.

Great catch by Renfro.

Followed by runaway truck sack.


NEW GAME 17 ALL!

They obviously don't trust him as much as Cooper running the offense. Don't see much of a future for him at Clemson with Lawrence coming in next year.

 

[T Town Tommy]

Clemson should be thankful they are playing Cuse and not a better team. The Tigers look flat and being outplayed so far.

 

[dwshade]

Clemson played like this last year against NC State and Pittsburgh. Barely won both and that was with Watson at QB. Without Bryant they likely aren't winning tonight.

I don't think their problem is offense. They gave up 400 yds of offense through 3 quarters.

 

[BGIF]

Everybody's screens look so much better than ours.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Go Cuse!

[GoldenDomer]

They'll be back when they win the ACC.

 

[stlnd01]

They'll be back when they win the ACC.

They will. They're a good team. But they need to hope that Auburn holds up, and that Miami is ranked high if/when they meet for the ACC title, because otherwise they're at risk of having no particularly impressive wins. Beating Louisville and FSU won't count for as much this year.

ND to playoffs confirmed.

[Irishnuke]

No way Cuse would have won if Bryant was healthy. Big win for them.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

No way Cuse would have won if Bryant was healthy. Big win for them.

Hard to say. Game was tied when he went out IIRC. Regardless, they have that as an excuse now, much like the weather for scUM-MSU, even though Sparty was handling them before the monsoon hit.

 

[irishog77]

No way Cuse would have won if Bryant was healthy. Big win for them.

Completely healthy or stayed in the game? Because he didn't look good when he was in, he labored to move in the pocket, let alone run. I thought Clemson's O looked better with Cooper in.

Barely won one, as they lost to Pitt.

Games like this go to show, just try and get wins; worry about style points later. Clemson is still a really good team. It's tough to travel, on a short week, and win games with 19 and 20 year olds, even against inferior opponents.
