Yea there is no dominant defense in college football this year. None of the teams that make the playoffs are going to be scared of the other teams defense. It’s going to be about which defense is best at bending but not breaking and Bama is getting a lot of practice with that right now:whew:things are starting to click for Harris and lee though so our defense is only going to get a lot better from here on out

The weird thing about the current Clemson narrative is:

Through 7 games last year that team was scoring 36ppg winning by 23ppg while the defense was holding opponents to 12.43ppg

This season Clemson is scoring 38ppg winning by 28ppg while the defense is holding opponents to 12ppg [ which is really less than that when you factor in the fact that 21pts came in garbage time vs the 3rd string defense ___A&M, FSU, and UL...so really they are only giving up 9ppg ].

I think the Clemson “narrative” is that Trevor isn’t playing as well as he was expected to. Yall still blowing teams out other than that UNC game.

Everybody in that stadium knew he was about to miss. I thought y’all had the #1 kicker in the nation in y’all last recruiting class?

We do, Will Reichard

He got a bad hip, he was really good before the injury but once he got injured, we had to go back to Joseph Bulovas :francis:

Then they had Reichard back out there punting knowing he was hurt but we had to make a change because DeLong is the worst punter we may have ever had but the breh Ty Perine won the job Saturday night :blessed:

So when Reichard is healthy y’all got him handling all kicking duties? :dahell:

Last year we won by 2 vs Texas A&M and had a near disaster vs Cuse winning by 4 with the 3rd string qb during our first 7 games. Then it was "the defense is overrated" so now it's Trevor. I actually got a theory :merchant:

You want to blow up the 4 team playoff sooner rather than later...Poison the viewing public with constant talking points of how Clemson doesn't deserve to be in the top 4 and how bad the ACC is. Make it a popular cop out point to influence the perception so if it comes down to say a 1 loss Clemson team that won their conference and a 1 loss LSU/Bama/OSU or OK team that didn't...they can try to justify leaving Clemson out. This will create enough blow back that expansion talks will bubble over.

I'll use Paul Finebaum as an example. This idiot talks Ad nauseam about Clemson not deserving to make it right and how last year has no impact on this year and Clemson shouldn't be given the benefit of the doubt. Now think back to 2017 when Bama took that L and he talked Ad nauseam about how Saban and Bama's history shows that they deserve to be in the playoffs. :martin:

The narrative is that schedule is a cake walk. Every other contender plays a top 10 opponent but them. I don't even think they play a ranked opponent this year... I just checked. There's really not a ranked team on their schedule :francis:. The hardest team left is South Carolina.

No DeLong was the punter, I have no idea why Reichard punted Saturday. Ty Perine the new punter now though, when Reichard gets healthy though he’s gonna just placekick.

Our defense isn’t bad as the numbers say either, a lot of our TDs given up have been in garbage time, we was beating Ole Miss like 45-10 but gave up 21 in garbage time.

Bolded in the spoiler is what they do though, we went through that the last 2 years. Not saying we deserved to get in, but those were the arguments used to keep us out. So if yall were to slip up and lose to somebody left on your schedule they prolly would leave yall out.
