In all seriousness being a former college athlete I don’t take losses too hard. I move on and it it what it is. I know the hard work those kids put in. I just appreciate the games and move on I love my Clemson Tigers regardless. It sucks to lose but it doesn’t effect me or my life at all if they lose Exactly. You are doing it right, nmerritt11. And, I know you know, but I am just having fun with this, nothing more. As you should!!

Merritt, since you know Clemson and have a solid knowledge of football, I'm wondering what you think Clemson's strengths and weaknesses are going forward and if the weaknesses can be fixed.
For UGA I think the strengths are...
The defense. Ok, really the front 7. The DL has a great first push and can disrupt. The speed of the LBs is crazy. I see a team that can stuff the run/get pressure from the middle, and get to the outside fast to keep anyone from turning the corner.
I think the secondary held up really well against Clemson's talented WRs. I'm cautiously optimistic.
RBs are also a strength. They didn't get a ton of yards, but UGA ran the ball on every down of the last drive to kill the clock.
Weaknesses:
I'm worried about the OL. Tons of talent, but they looked sloppy and couldn't handle a Clemson rush that was often 3 guys. I know the 3 guys in orange are good, but I'm still worried. There is time to fix this by finding the right mix. Keep in mind the former OL coach is now the HC at Arkansas.
The young WRs struggled to block and ran poor routes. Some experienced guys will be back soon, and hopefully the young guys will grow up.

Strengths:
I think Clemson is really solid on all 3 levels in defense. I think they play sound football and are very disciplined.
I think they still have some of the best WR and probably the deepest group in the nation. They had some mental mistakes that cost them but there were a lot of plays they had open guys and DJU didn’t see them or missed them. He had Shipley on a wheel route that would have been a walk in TD
I still think DJU is damn good. He just needs to settle in and realize he isn’t TL and doesn’t need to be. Just be him
Weakness’
OL which Dabo and Tony raved about all summer was atrocious! 2 yards of rushing…unacceptable but Tony didn’t do them any favors
That said, play calling…Tony needs to evolve and mix it up. He needs to continue to grow as a play caller and do better making in game adjustments. He just doesn’t play call well if his initial plan isn’t working and the scheme requires his QB to be near perfect in big games. If they aren’t, he struggles to adjust. The 3 RB had a combined 9 carries in a close game. They all have ability to find a hole and take it to the house. But gotta give them touches
DT depth. They held up with Davis being out but need some young guys to step it up
All I’m all Clemson will be fine. They are a solid football team and the defense can carry them until DJ settles in and the young RB gain confidence

I think UGA's strength is it's stud back up quarterback.

Ouch! With apologies, notdpb. Oregon State! Well, perhaps notdpb can maintain the conversation and make it a PAC - SEC thing!
