Quick snap, long pass to a guy wide ass open down the sideline. First down from the 12 for Clemson.
The crowd sounds like they're growing increasingly restless & if Clemson scores here (as they appear nearly sure to do) and we go three & out again, don't be surprised if the boo birds start to emerge. After the early flurry, this looks a lot like the Gardner-Webb performance.

Nesbitt throws another pick as we inexplicably keep trying to run our one pass play, which consists of him throwing the ball nearly as far as he can and praying that someone runs under it. He's now 1/12 for 20 yds and 2 picks.

I'd love to say that this is unbelievable ... but it isn't.
We haven't got anything other than Burnett on defense and he's not overcoming the double team apparently. And FINALLYFINALLY we throw something other than a $^@#$^%@ hail mary. edit to add: Eh fuck it, I'll just say what I'm thinking: I fully expect a fumble here.

Why the hell are they talking about the Tech offense being tired? They've barely been on the field on the second half. Their problem isn't respiratory, it's cardiac.

It ain't worked all that well most of the night against Clemson, I don't even want to think what a faster defense will do to it. Nesbitt needs help and needs it p.d.q. Bohannon was a wideout in college & as far as I know never took a snap. He's in need of a mechanical expert is how it looks to me.

Eh, getting 409 on that UGAy defense isn't all that much to brag about really.
Fun as hell, just not that incredible.

Too
damn close Tough situation for a soph. like Tarrant to have to make that play on Spiller and he delivered. Now what MUST happen for this to mean anything in the big picture is this team has to come away angry, hurt, and embarrassed about their collapse and knowing that they were lucky to escape. If they come away feeling as though they actually did anything more than that, better teams will eat their fucking lunch.

Damn had a chance....but didnt deliver
Good game GT.. Have to think what if... What if not for the funky fake field goal punt What if not for the fake field goal TD throw. What if not for the hold that I still havent seen despite 3 replays.... I think the program is in good hands with Dabo. But we still have work to do. |

Pissy situation for me, as I was in the air flying back home FROM Atlanta for most of the game, so didn't get to see it when I was there and didn't get home in time to see it. It seems to me that the problems we've had running the offense in the last two years (Gardner-Webb excepted, as the problem there was a third-string-QB who couldn't run the option if he was playing NCAA 2009) hasn't been with team speed on defense, but with size and talent on the defensive line. That's something Clemson had in abundance coming in, and it's someplace LSU had a lot of talent as well. It's also something that I wonder if we'll improve on as the offensive line continues to be molded into more of what fits CPJ's system. We're still starting at least one converted TE at tackle, IIRC. Glad for the win, obviously, but boy... that wasn't a very good performance from what I've been reading. Miami has to think they have a good chance at home. |

Still coming down from that one. A few random thoughts...
-Clemson's DL is probably the best one GT will face all year. And as bad as it looked at times Tech still rushed for 303 yards. -The hold call on Clemson was tough, but I think it was a bit of a lifetime achievement award. There were several on Morgan that could have been called. -I've blasted Spiller a lot in the past for being soft, but he's a hell of a football player. Ford also. -I'm really scared to see what Parker becomes. Not bad at all for 2 games in. -Paul Johnson will have fun with this game tape. There were a ton of missed blocks and reads. A few of those hit and it could have been put away early. -Say what you want about Nesbitt, but the kid is a warrior. He had a rough night and then put the team on his shoulders in the fourth quarter. I wouldn't trade him for anyone. Well maybe Jesus Tebow. -Jerrard Tarrant! -Really happy for Scott Blair, who kicked every ball but two punts for Tech last year. To come through 3-3 on FG and have a TD pass. What a night. Another great Clemson-GT game. Maybe a preview of the ACC title game? |

Their size didn't give us much problem early best I could tell but as they started to penetrate better we & their ends avoided getting taken out completely, oddly, that's when we decided that the offense consisted primarily of two plays: the dive and the fling-it-as-far-as-you-can-Josh-and -we'll-pray-someone-wearing-white-catches-it pass. I was surprised to come away feeling that we may have some conditioning issues as well, by the late third quarter they looked more tired than sluggish to my eyes. And I can't begin to describe how utterly lost Nesbitt looked on non-option plays. Not mentally, I think he really does have a better grasp of the offense than a year ago, none of the oh-crap-what-do-I-do moments that popped up occasionally. Instead, he looks physically confused (if that makes any sense), you could almost hear him counting steps on drop backs and then trying to remember how the whole passing thing worked. He's got a freakin' cannon for an arm but that's about it for throwing. Yeah, I know, he had to learn a new offense and how to work under center when he got there but damn, he looked worse tonight than he did a year ago. The one BIG bright spot of the night, along with Blair's performance, is the goose egg in the fumbles line on the stat sheet. Of all the bets you could make on the game, that's one that should have had the longest odds & it's encouraging to see that it's at least possible.

Serious question, since I won't see the 360 replay until tomorrow... called dives, or read to the dive out of the triple or the midline? Quote:
Obviously, this goes both ways - but I wonder how much the 5-day game week had to do with this. As much as I like Thursday night games, I hate a Saturday-Thursday combination and think those just shouldn't happen. |

Combo of called dives and reads/midline. Clemson really keyed on Dwyer. They are also the first tem I've seen key on him on the delay option wide to the B-back. And it's the first time I've seen Nesbitt make the right read there to keep it (though he missed it the first time). GT tackles were overmatched tonight, but they flat out missed some blocks tonight too. |

The announcers mentioned that few plays in the GT playbook were for designated runners so maybe they were all being called by Nesbitt but for lack of a better description they "looked" pre-called or else Josh was reading them very quickly because there was little hesitation on them at all.

Clemson is such a tease. I can't imagine the roller coaster actual fans and alumni have been on the past few years. The team has a lot of talent, but I don't know what's missing. I didn't get to see the game until it was 24-0 GT. Then I saw an inspired Clemson team, but a team that just didn't have enough in a hostile environment against a better than average team.
Congrats to the Ramblin' Wreck.

My wife was convinced it was over at 24-0, but I convinced her that not for some awful coaching moves, they were actually PLAYING very well by halftime. The pooch punt was stupid, and not calling a timeout when they rush the field with the FG team and then run the fake was also stupid. That's 14 points right there. But the coaching staff got the team back together, and they played GREAT in the final 30 minutes. GT had to scrape to get those 2 field goals together, and Parker showed his youth on the 2 late drives. Hell, he showed it all game, but the boy can run AND has a cannon. It was a fun game to watch, if disappointing as hell to a Clemson alum and her fanatic husband.

I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I'm impressed by Clemson's young QB. I can absolutely see Clemson being 5-1 (3-1) heading into Miami.
