Clemson a night game

Well, the schedulers are doing what they can to give us a fighting chance in the last 2 games.
Not sure it'll matter much, though. Dabo's rant seems to have had it's effect on the team. They've flipped a switch the last 2 games.
UNC is slumping, and they get them at Death Valley, so they likely win that one and come into our game on a high.

Without a doubt clemson will be favorites, however clemson's margin for error could haunt them if South Carolina wins the in turnovers battle. clemson's three of their four defeats was away games. If Rattler just has some time to pass and if another receiver steps up along with Legette and Mario has few big plays then who knows what will happen. I would like to thank whoever made the decision to have South Carolina finish the regular season with two night games. I think the night games will make a difference.
crowd, atmosphere, light show, energy - think TN game last year!
Lots of extravaganda. I get it. Also get that once the whistle blows,the game will be decided on the field.
There is certainly no guarantee and Clemson could easily win at night and probably will, but no one who keeps up with college football dismisses the advantage that comes with having a night game.
I get the possible advantage thoughts of a night game, but three of Clemson's largest victories have been 45 - 0, 63 - 17 and most recently 30 - 0 at WB at night.
So who knows.
Do you think that the game atmosphere plays no part in how a college football game goes?
I think it plays a part. Mostly in the beginning but all that fades and the players get down to what’s happening on the field. I played back in the day and with big crowds at times. Don’t remember being aware of the crowds after the kickoff
Ok well your exact quote was “How is a night game an advantage?” But now you’re saying game atmosphere in the stadium plays a part in how a team performs. Assuming we both believe the night atmosphere makes our guys play better and not worse, I’d call that an advantage.
I said in the beginning. As in, before the whistle blows. That’s different than how a team performs. Coaches often credit the crowd. Think that’s Coach speak acknowledge and thank them for coming. Game atmosphere didn’t help Clemson last year. Don’t believe the outcome would have been different if it had been a night game. Would certainly rather play at home
Same reason I would rather sleep in my own bed. Home game is an advantage. But for the last time, it won’t determine the outcome of the game. Ask Clemson
No one said it would determine the outcome of the game. But every advantage you get adds up and can change the outcome of the game. That’s just a dumb thing to say. I really don’t know why you’re arguing this. Seems like you just want to be some know-it-all who goes against the grain because “all these other losers on here don’t know the game like me.”
