Clemson v Texas game thread

GO……not sure who to root for. I love the Clemson QB local Austin hero storyline.

QB play is gonna make this game fun to watch

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Considering the size and speed superiority of Texas, this game shouldn't be close. But if there is a team that plays down to or below their competition...it's Texas.

That number 8 on Clemson's defense in the interior line is a load to handle. Texas seems to be running most of their plays along the sidelines with good success.

Both teams came to play. I think Texas has better talent but Dabo Swinney is a better game day coach than Steve Sarkisian. 7-7

speed superiority

WOW!!

speed superiority

WOW!!

That drive was a combination of impressive and threatening.

The Texas OL dominating the line of scrimmage.

Texas is running through Clemson like a hot knife through butter.

ACC

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

So far, the ACC teams are looking like the AAC teams. No wonder sPitt was so successful early in the season playing teams of low caliber.

You missed your true calling as a color commentator, Herbie.

And @IrishHerb probably doesn't require a support animal.

Not sure about that call. The zebras bailed Texas out by calling back that TD.

ACC cumulatively down 56-10 at the half

Unfortunately there was no need for an aggressive block there…..

One participation trophy for the ACC would have been plenty.

Aggressive yes, blindside hit no.

 

[psu31trap]

Clemson loaded with freshmen and redshirt freshmen down one TD to NIL rich Texas.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

this is a dandy

Evidently, Dabo read from the book of James Franklin on "best plays to run up the middle when at the goal line"..... with the same failed results.

I agree, a passing play might have had better results.

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

And the Longhorns will advance. ACC - 0 - 2 today and not looking good in the process. Big 10 1 - 1 . so far. now to root for "hurl" OSU.

I would never, ever root for OSU. In anything… I hate them like the plague!

It will be difficult to cheer for them, but if TN gets out, that's another SEC team gone and hopefully that will take out a bunch of chest thumpers also.

Yes, but that would mean Tennessee would have to win.

 

[TheTwistedFrog]

Penn State is overrated! Notre Dame is overrated! Ohio State is overrated!

Look. No program in the history of college football has been as consistently overrated as Texas. They’ll beat Arizona State, but it’s going to closer than most people think.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

I wouldn’t want to play OSU, nd or O. They feel the hottest. If I was Boise, I wouldn’t want to play us.

I do believe that Boise will put up a better fight than SMU. Still I see the Nittany lions winning that game based on superior recruiting and depth. While I do believe that Ohio State has the edge against Oregon this is not a guarantee. Oregon can win this game and no one would be surprised. I do not feel this way about the Georgia verses Notre Dame game. A Georgia team at full strength would manhandle Notre Dame with relative ease, but I don’t know how many portal or NFL bound players are going to opt out of this game. As for Texas verses Arizona State I see a war of attrition where size, talent and depth will slowly grind down ASU. Close early on but a blowout in the end. JMHO

Boise>smu 100% but based on Vegas and neutral field, I’m worry free
