Duke is giving Clemson all they want. Can they hold up?

The dookies are playin their butts off. I'm sure Clemson will eventually take over but I always like the underdogs
Duke has been moving the ball down field all game. Just can't get it into the endzone.
He is proof the recruiting service do not get it right. He is from Alabama. How in the hell did Auburn and Bama let him get away? I guess he just didn't have enough stars.
You could say we missed on him as well. Maybe he's one of those that had a late growth spurt or just needed a good conditioning program to grow into his own.
I agree but he was right there with the State of Alabama high school football coaches. Hell, he might have chosen Duke over other school. I think he is predicted 3rd best QB on draft board in 2024.
Clubnik just ran down a duke safety to save a TD. That was impressive!
Awesome play. Hat on the ball. Great scoop. QB chasing down a corner. What's not to like?
Just looked at Duke’s schedule last year. They didn’t lose a game by more than 8
I didn't join this game until just before halftime. I thought that it's good pooch but turning the ball over when they had a field goal right in there hands. Man, they have really play lights out out the second half. I hope they hang on cause they have really outplayed Clemson and not been sloppy and look like the better team. This is not your daddy's Clemson .
If they called that targeting, then the fix is in. It's a bad car because he went down going forward with his body. He was not sliding the same way he does as he if he was supposed to giving himself up.
ETA - I don't think they got that right he did not hit him with his helmet and he went into his shoulder just the first of many targeting penalties that we all will argue about this year

Yep. If he had a pair that's 1st down + 15 yards

They absolutely did. Then they cannot hold onto the ball at all and Duke looks great.
It may be overreacting a bit, but I wonder if the transfer and NiL changes are already starting to affect the big programs because they cannot stockpile and hold on to athletes anymore. They may still can outbid somebody, but Player can transfer any place they want to go.
Congratulations to Duke! You earned this you didn't luck your way into this... you earned it. They look like they have a team that can compete with anybody.
* A game like this is one of those reasons I still love college football.

I guess I asked the wrong question. I should have asked, "Can Clemson hold up?"
Well Dabo refused to better Clemson with the portal, so he really did this to himself.
Why do you think The First Alabama Bank of Bryant and Saban lost lost year...

On a related note, I feel like our new offense is better suited for this transfer system. I imagine air raid takes more time for newcomers to pick up.
I’ve been saying this for a while now. Players want to play now. The immediate transfer gives guys the ability to go to another school when they are buried on a depth chart after being promised the moon.
People worried about us losing all of our players to other schools shouId realize, most of our stars were probably highly recruited out of HS and we already beat the big boys for them. Why would they leave if they are starting here aside from a coaching change?
I’m curious if some of the bigger teams end up like BBall. The one and done hits KY every year and despite having the best talent they don’t seem to make Final Fours much, meanwhile those mid west teams and mid majors with 3 stars that have been at the program 4 years all seem to make deep runs. I’m hoping the turnover and NIL cause locker room issues for the blue bloods.
Any offense that takes advantage of one on one matchups is going to be better suited to NIL world than an offense that relies on heavy experience and continuity in a unique system. Either can succeed but I think we know which is more likely to thrive in the transfer heavy world.
Mike Elko is a really good coach and Duke’s turnaround is an awesome story.
This feels like the end of Clemson as an annual contender. They do not look remotely as talented as other top teams or even previous Clemson teams. Florida State might run them out of their own stadium in three weeks.
