Fields taking the high road in the interview. 

He’s a really really good kid. Only kid on QB1 that didn’t have an attitude.

Honestly, that's all he can do. "Whatya want me to say, guys? I said something stupid and they made us pay for it and made me look like a jackass."

Redneck Orange Jesus stepped in a big ole pile of dog crap. The arrogance.
 

While some of what he said at the time was accurate and I didn’t necessarily disagree with - he has to be smarter than that and not provide any extra sort of motivation to a team he is about to play. Instead, he just got his ass kicked on National TV by a team he thought wasn’t as good as Coastal Carolina. gonna be tough for him to live this down for a while. Didn’t do his team any favors.

Yeah credit where credit due. I saw Dabo look like Deion running a 40 when he ran over to fields after the game to try and put as much water on that fire before he gets baited by reporters after the game about being disrespected.

Again... it’s not about replacing just two people. It’s about 10+ starters getting better. And I think you’ll find next year that DJ is going to make the transition to life after Lawrence pretty nice. 

I did see Clemson lose to ND earlier in the year with DJ, and then easily beat them with Lawrence. Clemson will be competitive and the favorites in the ACC like they always are but if they have any slip ups it could really cost them. Don’t know what to expect with the acc next year. Heels are probably the favorite in the coastal but after Clemson and UNC I don’t know how strong the conference will be. 

[4Corners]

How many times do you expect Dabo to mention God/Jesus tonight in his post game?

As a South Carolina fan that has a lot of Clemson fan friends, lemme say that all the poo talking I did prior to this game worked out wonderfully. The better team won and my friends are beyond heated over it. =D

They didn’t lose because of the offense. DJ lit them up. 

[LinvilleGorge]

I really don't care about Clemson next year. I'm too busy enjoying their embarrassment tonight.

bruised at least--but I would not be surprised.  When they said, "They did not xray them" at the half--that gives the coaches and doctors "plausible deniability. 

Exactly and with that shot he took there is no way something didn't crack. That was helmet to exposed rib. Reminds me of back in 02 when our LB drove McNabb into the dirt with his ribcage. He was completely done after that.

All the talk about the QBs, Etienne looked like trash tonight. Any team drafting him in the first two rounds is setting themselves up for disappointment. Yes, the 2nd round too.

As you said I kinda wish Fields would have had a bad performance tonight if only to drop to us.

Etienne would have been third string in Chapel Hill this year.

Have they progressed to the stage of sports fan grief yet where they continuously blame the refs?

“Man that garbage ass block in the back call down 21 in 4th quarter cost of the fuging game!!!”

[LinvilleGorge]

LOL! Dabo is such a mouth breather. He doubled down on his statements. Said he didn't regret anything he said. That any team that hadn't played at least 9 games had no business in the top 10. He mad.
