He proved to be a pretty good DC at a variety of stops. He also had very good defenses at Florida. Plus, a lot of this is talk. I trust Kirby's defensive acumen. Offense is a different story. Meh his defenses got worse each year at Florida...and his defenses at SC were garbage. Since offenses have evolved his defenses have not caught up. As a defensive analyst to break down film he could be an asset but he’s one of the most overrated defensive coaches there is around. I broke down all his numbers last year or the year before since his last year at Texas and his defenses were pretty bad except the ones he inherited in his first years at Florida

Muschamp is just an analyst getting paid big bucks by USC.
I think he's been around enough so his opinion and insight is worth a lot. I also think he would be a great position coach. DC not so much, and I have a weird feeling that if Lanning gets a HC gig after this season Muschamp could be our DC.

UGA is really thin and inexperienced at corner. There is plenty of talent but they're all very green. I'm hoping Clemson's WR group all get caught with a pound of weed, a loaded, gun, and a dead hooker before the kick off.

Not much difference...great to analyze film, chart, and help find tendencies.

Clemson’s WR group is going to be nasty if healthy and they have big and athletic TE. It’s gonna be hell for secondaries especially if Ross is full go because they moved him to the slot. Also Ajou Ajou had a great spring. DJ has a wealth of talent to throw to. I will be interested to see who starts. Ross is healthy is a no brainer but the other two spots are interesting. My guess is Williams locks one and Ngata and Ladson fight for the other but all will see a lot of reps. I mean hell Ross had 1000 yards as a freshman and didn’t start

Kirbs is going to have to decide whether he wants to bring a lot of pressure so there isn't a lot of time for the WRs to get open or if he is going to only rush 3-4 and drop a lot of guys in coverage. My guess is he wants to o ultra conservative because he loves ultra conservative.

My guess is he wants to o ultra conservative because he loves ultra conservative. Clemson will eat them alive if they don’t get pressure on DJU. They have too much of a size advantage and too many weapons for Kirby to not create a way to get pressure. They also need to find a way to slow the game down and establish the run and that is easier said than done against Clemson’s front 7.

Yeah, he tried to sit back against LSU and Burrow, and it didn't work out so well. He likes to drop 8 and it works for awhile, but eventually somebody gets open. I can't see 3 guys creating enough pressure. Here is a break down of the DBs from the Athletic: Kelle Ringo is the guy to watch. 2020 5 star CB that injured his shoulder right before his freshman season. He should have the skills/athleticism to hang with Clemson's WRs. If that guy or someone else steps up I think UGA will be OK. Win a few lose a few. Which brings me to, Kirby is going to have to open up the offense and get to 40 points.

I think MUschamp gives UGA a big advantage against Clemson. Say what you want about his coaching ability, but he can tell Kirby exactly what doesn't work against Clemson.

We shall see how well Clemson’s Center does against Jordan Davis as that may be a “weakness” Georgia might be able to exploit a bit and allow for some uncomfortableness along the blocking front. Will Georgia HAVE to bring the house all the time? Going to have to see how well the Secondary gels and matures. I like our front 7’ish, but you just never know until the ball gets put into play to see where your team really is.

Former Clemson football player Derion Kendrick was arrested Friday morning on gun and drug charges, according to a report from The State. Kendrick, a senior cornerback who was kicked off the team by head coach Dabo Swinney in February, was found asleep in a car with a gun in his lap around 3 a.m. by Rock Hill police officers, court records obtained by The State showed. He also had a small amount of marijuana, which led to a simple possession charge. The gun charge is considered a misdemeanor, and he was taken to the Rock Hill jail, where he appeared in court and was later released on a personal recognizance bond. I guess UGA might be going the Ole Miss/Auburn route here...

Is in the glove box or trunk the only legal way to have a gun in your car?

btw, It sounds like Kendrick's charges are about to be dropped, and then he is transferring to UGA.
He left Clemson in February, was rumored to be heading to UGA, and then got arrested.

I don't think Richt would have allowed it. He may not have allowed it, but he sure wouldn't have an issue going into a season with a roster of 60 instead of 85 because he is such a sport and willing to take on the SEC shorthanded. What a nice guy!

But Georgia fans who make fun of Ole Miss and Auburn and others for being Second Chance U, will need to shut their traps now. On the other hand, like so many in today's society, they will make excuses and flaunt how "different" this particular situation is. Not happy about this at all.

I don't think there is anything wrong with a second chance. Neither am I, if it is only a second chance. But Dabo is a pretty big second chance guy and if he didn't want him on the team, then I think there is more to this than just that arrest. I am leery. Athletically, he would be a huge add.

Yeah, Dabo made some comments last year about only having 6 good OL guys and 2 of them have left. Their OL and RB are the 2 weaknesses. The sophomore class was the best OL recruiting class in Clemson’s history. He said they felt good about 8-10 on OL this year. With COVID they didn’t get spring practice to develop. Last year they got a lot of experience, got a spring practice, and a year in the S&C program. They feel extremely good about the OL with 5 star Leigh on the way was well. The OL is not a concern from anything I’ve heard or read. RB is gonna be a drop off but Pace apparently looked great in spring. Dixon is a veteran and then you have two really talented freshmen that Spiller said could be the next thunder and lightning in a year or two. RB room is deeper but Etienne is one of the greatest RB, if not the greatest, to play at Clemson so of course you expect production to drop but let’s be honest, Etienne generally only had 10-15 carries a game because Clemson rotates a lot and had a lot of blow outs over his career so they’ll be fine at RB as well. Shipley is apparently picking things up fast and I see him being utilized because of his speed and ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. He’s been compared to Christian McCaffrey as far has his unique skills sets. His lacrosse background helped him develop that shiftiness that’s a bitch to tackle in open field. Excited about him

Athletically, he would be a huge add. Not opposed to third chances either depending upon what happened. He was constantly in the dog house and was a big “look at me” guy and his work ethic was questionable. He was suspended several times. He’s a freak athlete that I’d almost move back to the slot receiver position. He’s decent in man coverage but not great and he gets lost in zone at times and gets caught looking into backfield and getting caught flat footed. And in big games he constantly bad busts trying to freestyle and not playing within the scheme. Not many Clemson fans were sad to see him go as Fred Davis has more upside and I look for him to win that spot. All that said he has huge upside and the athleticism to be a first round guy if his head is on straight and he works to improve

If you think about it logically bringing Derion onboard doesn't really have a major downside. If he can't be a good team member you dismiss him from the team, if he fails out of school he is a 3-4 month rental as well. Why not take a chance on him with the viewpoint that he can provide more benefit than hurt at this point.
