And as I say that Criswell makes a big play.

[LinvilleGorge]

Wow. How did THAT work? He had to have been WIDE ASS OPEN. Because Criswell got destroyed and threw up a punt. LOL

I just knew that was gonna be an INT.

I have no idea how this game is tied. GT is owning the LOS. They've done some really dumb offensive play calling. They're QB kinda sucks and they keep trying down field shots. I get it, the UNC secondary gives up numerous deep balls every week but your QB just isn't even coming close.

[MillionDollarCam]

Wasn’t pretty but we’ll take the points however we can get them.

Clemson imploded that drive. Their QB just isn't that good.

He has improved though.  Clemson probably getting the best QB play this year they have seen vs the last 3 seasons.   Which isn’t saying a lot.  

I said in recent weeks the key seems to be to run him early….he plays better after that.  Which they haven’t done yet today 3 drives in.  Think it gets his nerves out and he quits thinking.

Is Harrison King drunk… his passes are in different area codes…

So, you're saying Dabo needs to give him the Ron Rivera Cam Newton treatment.

This game feels like it has completely shifted and it's because GT's QB can't effectively throw a football.

Drake Maye was the same way. He played his best when he was running recklessly. His play suffered when we asked him to be more conservative running the ball.

Criswell needs to do more of that. He’s not super quick but if his first two reads aren’t there he just needs to take off.

Not to that extent.   But Clemson’s O has always run their QBs.  And none of them have actually been running QBs.    I think there is something to some guys getting hit and defenses respecting that.  

Watson and Trevor weren’t running QBs.  They ran though.  Cade is a decent runner.   As evidence the last couple weeks.

You ask Cade to just drop back and throw all game and it has never really worked out that well.  He has to mix it up IMO.  I think it’s mental.  

[LinvilleGorge]

Criswell isn't gonna make it through the game at this pace. He's getting destroyed on every passing attempt.

We need to throw a couple of screens to take the heat off this pass rush.

Nice play by the DB, but bad pass and decision by the Wake QB
