mezmrin {l Wrote}:looking forward to this one. I will be interested to see if AJ can break off some runs against us. I think he is too talented not to. Will help open up some passing for Brown and could make for a quite entertaining and competitive game.
Summary of Clemson from opposing view:
DL: blah blah blah everyone is sick of hearing about how great our DL is. I will say this, our best DLineman is actually a true freshman #3 Xavier Thomas. He will play and you will probably notice him at least a play or two. I would guess he will be a Household name this time next year for college football fans.
LB: Out best LB is Tre Lamar. Big 6'4" 255lb guy who can do it all. Isiah Simmons plays a hybrid LB/S he is long and freaky athletic who can make plays.
DB: Our safeties are ok and our CBs and big. Trayvon Mullen is a prototypical do everything CB while AJ Terrell is a physical CB who is still working on his technique, but hits like a safety. Very physical
OL: They are a pretty good unit, but your DL is very talented and should be able to get into the backfield and cause disruption more often than any Clemson fan would like.
QB: True freshman but plays at a pretty high level. Still makes freshman mistakes though from time to time including not knowing when to get out of the way. Our backup is a redshirt freshman who also has some arm talent. After that watch out, because Hunter Renfrow is coming in to run some option football and you dont want that.
RB: our RBs go 4 deep with 1st string (Etienne) and 4th string (Lyn-J Dixon) being the two game changing type backs. Teams have been able to nullify our run though if they focus on it.
Side note: our "Fridge" package is fun to watch. 340lb Sexy Dexy blocking for 300lb Christian Wilkins on the goal line.
Side side note: I'm really glad yall let Christian Wilkins get away and come down to the Clemson. He is just one of those guys. Easily one of, if not the number 1 guy, on my all time favorite tClemson players list.
WR: Fortunately, when the run doesn't work our WR crew is there to pick up the slack. Tee Higgins and Justyn Ross are both potential superstars at the next level. 6'4" with speed. Overton is also 6'4" with speed but doesn't make as many plays. Amari Rodgers is our Punt Returner and jet sweep guy. 5'10" but still makes plays. Hunter Renfrow is just the do it all catch everything receiver. They go about 10 deep at this position most games it seems.
TE: not usually much out of this position although there is some talent there.
This is the game I have thought would be our toughest game all season. I think I even came by here preseason to state how much I thought of your team. My prediction preseason was this was going to be a top 10 matchup with BC being undefeated, but yall let me down on that one.
So who here is picking the upset? On the flip side, is there a number where if you get beat by more than it you will feel less about the quality of your team?
Me personally? I could see Clemson losing and I could also see us winning by 50 or anywhere in between. That's what should make this week so fun!

what did those two teams do well that prevented tClemson from pulling away like they did most games this season?

I watched the A&M game. Clempson could not stop them in the 2nd half and they were lucky to win. A&M QB threw for 430 and 3 TDs.

OK I lied. He's not a friend.

hansen {l Wrote}:BC needs a lot to go right to win this game.
Cold weather, healthy Dillon, Brown to have a good game, whatever trick plays we call we need perfect execution, PA deep balls need to be accurate and caught, luck, etc.

Unfortunately Dillon will not be 100% healthy and I think that dooms any chance of an upset.
twballgame9 {l Wrote}:Im coming in with a hot take here and pronouncing that BC winning is dependent on one thing only and it's not dillon's health. Don't think it will happen, but it could

Not even in Tom Dooder's wettest dream do I see AB being able to do that.

EagleManiac66 {l Wrote}:Is there an official word on Dillon's status? Everything that I read says that he got his "bell rung". Was this a concussion protocol or some other injury?

it would be so awesome if that weird trick was a meatbomb

DavidGordonsFoot {l Wrote}:I think the last time BC had a game this big at home was FSU in 2005. The stakes weren't as big as some of the other games mentioned, but the hype, electricity and demand for tickets was. It was a game 2 years in the making.
