Clemson Gets Drilled in the '11 Textile Bowl
Dr. B has other obligations this evening (I don't know for sure, but he may be meditating/working on his Zen to try to get his blood pressure down to a mere extremely above average level after this game), so you are stuck with a little FigureFour post game coverage. If you are squeamish, still slamming a king sized bottle of orange colored Kool-Aid, or haven't removed the orange tinted sunglasses then this isn't the article for you.
I will start this with a non-gameplay related item. I really wish ABC/ESPN would put the Pony out to pasture. Craig James makes my mute button tired. It could be worse (Pam Ward eclipses James here). If you ask Craig, Dana Bible invented the game of football and Clemson is fundamentally sound all around. I am not sure he has watched much football at all this season...at least it doesn't appear as though he has from today's telecast.
I'll go ahead and get it out of the way...not having Sammy Watkins hurt us and offensive line injuries don't help. Still, I don't really care. This is not a very good NC State football team and they simply whipped our ass tonight. NCST has played two good games this season (UVa and UNC) and many, many more bad football games. If Clemson really is a top 10 football team they wouldn't have gotten absolutely manhandled by the aforementioned team.
NCST whipped Clemson tonight, so we need to give them their due before talking about our Tigers. Now, on to the Tigers...There is no area of this team that gets a reprieve (well, I guess we can take positives from the kickoff team and two made field goals, so don't say that I was all negative) and this group has a lot of soul searching to do if it wants to achieve any of the goals left on the table. The only other positive I can draw is that maybe this team and its coach realize that they are not yet elite and have a whole lot of other things that need improvement. I hope they learn from things and I have to come back and say tonight was just a fluke...but here we go.
Clemson has a big, big philosophical problem. We like our staff of assistants and think they are all-well all but probably two-are good coaches and have established themselves elsewhere before each coach's time at CU (it is tough to talk poorly about Elliot at this point either since he is in his first season here). I know Caldwell is an excellent coach but our offensive line was crap today. Coach Cheese is one of our favorites yet our DBs look lost, will not wrap up, and cannot jam the opposing WRs. Kevin Steele has been successful elsewhere yet we look like booty loaf everywhere. The reason we aren't tough is because Dabo Swinney refuses to make this team tough. He would rather yell and scream because of the result instead of fixing the problem. The problem starts with S&C and continues through our practice philosophy. We are not physical enough Monday through Wednesday and it is obvious. You cannot be a good jamming corner without practicing tough. You cannot be a good tackling defense if you aren't going live and getting after someone's ass all week working on the fundamentals.
Want more proof how cupcake this team is look at this: Georgia Tech punched this team in the mouth and Clemson has not recovered. We were very fortunate earlier in the year and that luck has run out. We've repeatedly told you that this team lacks toughness. NC State exposed Clemson tonight for what it is-SOFT! We talked about it all preseason and throughout this year. We are soft because Swinney lets us be soft. We don't practice like we should and don't hold everyone accountable, hence the crap we saw tonight.
Chalk up the first half crap show to Clemson's offensive line, inability to hold onto the ball, and poor special teams play. All the NCST points sans the first TD in the first half go on the crappy play out of the offensive line and complete crap on special teams. Clemson got no push inside (imagine that) and, for a change, could do nothing to keep NCST out of the Clemson backfield. Clemson routinely got beaten up front when NCST only brought four. Pathetic. Our offensive line should be ashamed all around because of this crap. And, no, I really don't care that Phillip Price is hurt...there is no excuse for this piss poor effort.
Tajh Boyd again looked mildly confused, but I would be confused too if my offensive line was as pitiful as his is and your backs completely whiff on blitzing defenders. There is no excuse for a QB getting manhandled the way Tajh was tonight. Otherwise, he had some poor early reads, was confused with seven dropping defenders, and forced the football when he wasn't taking shots from unblocked defenders. The guy is getting worked by a lesser football team.
I will go ahead and point out the obvious now...you cannot give your opponent the ball deep in your own territory (two fumbles and a big punt return during the first half) time after time again and expect to win many football games. This got us in a hole early and we never really recovered. NCST built confidence and Clemson went into a spiral.
Defensively it is more of the same. I am so freaking sick and tired of seeing our defenders not wrap up. Holy Hell it is pathetic. I am not sure our defensive backs have a clue that they can use their arms while attempting to bring a defender down. No, I am not advocating arm tackling-I just want to see Clemson wrap the offensive player up. Don't use WWF off-the-top rope moves to tackle, just put your facemask in the offensive player's chest, wrap up, then drive. There is no other way to explain this poor tackling other than it is not perfected through practice.
The second half of this game was NCST running screens, basic running plays, short checkdowns, CU missing tackles and being out of position defensively. We looked like we threw in the towel and State just kept playing hard and with growing confidence.
We open the second half with a decision to press and give the ball to State near mid-field due to a 4th and 5 defeat that resulted in a drive marred with more missed tackle and no pressure on the opposing QB. This pitiful NCST offense looks like the New England Patriots and we simply look inept. Clemson was simply unable to get a run going as it had in the past and NCST just kept punching us in the mouth.
Again and again, Clemson gets beaten up front at every single position. Yes there are injuries but that is not enough of an excuse for the bad, bad play we saw up front tonight. We were only missing Price early and were still getting drilled up front...well before all the other injuries. I don't think I saw anything positive out of the offensive front five at all. Boyd was running for his life all night because we got whipped all over the place up front. On the other side of the football, the Clemson defensive line looked fatigued and never really pressured the QB after the early portion of the football game. This is disappointing particularly when you consider all the sacks the Wolfpack gave up coming into this contest.
If we cannot increase the intensity and actually block someone up front, we will end the season with nine wins. We sincerely hope this team can get it together, toughen up, and play better fundamental football all around before traveling to Columbia to play a Carolina team that does have a lot of injured players but will whip our OL if we cannot get it together there. Without improvement, we will get drilled next week then against Va Tech then by a 7-win SEC team in the Peach Bowl on New Year's Eve. The BS we saw tonight simply does not cut it.
Please send Dr. B your sympathy, as he has to watch this crap play by play this week as he conducts his play by play breakdown.

What a pathetic load of crap
Tonight we saw what happens when one team really wants to win and the other doesn’t really give a shit .This OL can pass block – we have seen it all year. Run blocking, not so much. Tonight, they didn’t do either.
Zimmerman played well, Caranzaro did his job, and so did Nuke.
The O linemen got blown up like a bunch of blind little girls.
That level of play will not even win against a mediocre high school team.
I'll leave the defense alone (just because it's too much for one post
and just focus on the oline. I guess getting the qb killed all day must not bother them. I guess since they squeaked by wake and went undefeated at home satisfied them. I guess having your a—- handed to you by JR Sweezey and Co. must doesn’t bother them, especially McClain since his happy a— was smiling on the side line after that sh— I watched today. No pride, period. Is with them and every last one of them played like crap. I would have played Davis, Sanders, Beasley, Webster and who ever else wasn’t hurt and taken every last one of their a—es out. Might as well go with someone else that might give a crap about playing.
And to think I worried about Price before the season started. We missed him tonight, the walk-on that plays like he wants it. End of my rant.
yabba Dah-bo doo
Abraca dah-bo, the tigers are regressing.. a lil Dah-do won’t do ya. All horrible t-shirt quotes behind now, i can say that each and every coach/staff/player better line up and apologize for that brown wet steaming heater they plopped on the field up in raleigh. I went from anger to imbarrassed to laughing and now back to imbarrassed while watching that crap-fest. I’m out like a ball in bellamy’s grasp every game…

Disgusted
Nothing more to say. Of all the regulars I’m prob the biggest Dabo and Steele fan..but this was just disgusting. We need some new blood, like some crazy SOB strickly in charge of S&C and getting the team fired up for a football game. I can’t believe our guys still take this sport for granted. Spoiled, soft, etc..
"Just because you've had 2 or 3 good games doesn't mean anything right now. It's not the first 3 games you're going to be remembered by." - The Chad
Some of the best coaches I ever had
are the same ones that I utterly hated during practice. I got beat up more in practice than I did during the game, but guess what…WE WON THEM! When you practice hard every day, you are NOT going to go out and let someone else waste your hard work. Also, whenever we were playing bad out coach could just give us a LOOK and we knew what was waiting for us the next day in practice if we didn’t get it together. A great coach must be able to put the fear of GOD into his players!
I like Dabo
but he’s too nice. I would go out and get an assitant coach that was an ex-drill sargent and turn him loos on the players in the off season. Who ever came back alive for summer and fall practice would be MEN, not boys but MEN. And we would DOMINATE everyone we played. Oh well, one can dream.
yes , one can dream ~~~
I have read , and watched on TV where the topic was Nick Saban’s football summer camp . It was said that his football camp was compared to boot camp (basic training-military) . When asked about it he said something to the affect that " if they make it through it , they are rewarded on the other side" . That means dominance in their minds , their body , and what they expect to achieve everytime they step on the field .
When was the last time we had an offensive line that had any "push" or played physical?
When was the last time we had a quality GROUP of linebackers? We have regressed so much this year. It really does remind me of 2000. I think that is the fear of everyone.
Probably 95ish
Didnt have great speed all around, but we had some good guys up front who would hit you til you spit blood and smile in your face afterwards.
Ya know how
the sweatshirt keeps talking about how we really havent played a full game this year.. where the effort and execution were consistent across all 4 quarters..
we have now.

Hey yall first time posting, Great site been reading it forever
Anyway, Found this quote from dabo on Orange and White.com.
In Dabo’s Words…
"(We are) obviously disappointed on the way we played, really embarrassed. Really, poor job of coaching, poor job playing, everything involved and there’s no excuse. They wanted more than we did and it’s that simple. This is the game of football and do the things that we did and most times you’re going to get beat especially with the team that grabs the momentum and that’s what happened. They got the momentum and we never got it back."
Those two things highlighted says it all but It hasn’t translated onto the field. But why?
by Christopher Lunsford on Nov 19, 2011 8:36 PM EST reply actions
actually , the first highlighted phrase did translate onto the field...
(piss) poor job of coaching and preparation translated onto the field today like a great white shark in a swimming pool . I will say however , that the OLine hurt us as bad as our DLine and that is not necessarily Coach Caldwells fault . Dabo makes the assanine decision each week to let his boy McClain play whether or not Caldwell would rather play someone better . Plus , he( Dabo ) makes the decision for the practice philosophy that doesn’t allow heavy contact drills that would toughen this team up . As long as Dabo is HC , we will be soft , period .
Players get the blame as well though , this team flat out blew chunks today .
any offensive lineman on the roster at least gives effort
McClain is nothing more than a big waste of talent. He doesn’t give a shit and is flat out lazy. He could be a jam up offensive lineman but will not put forth the effort needed. If we are going to get our brains beaten up front I want a guy who actually gives a shit in there instead of a player who plays so that Dabo can save face in the state of Alabama. If he weren’t Dabo’s boy, he either (A) would not be on the field or (B) would be worked to the point that he is giving good effort and actually contributes to this football team. And this is not just my opinion.

Don't disagree at all that McClain blows it numerous times every game
But in this game other guys got in, and they all sucked. Starters, bench, whatever.
My 96 year old grandmother would have gotten a sack against them.
well, yeah the whole OL performance was crap
the whole point is about one favorite at OG who should be All-ACC at the very least but doesn’t care. But, yes, you are correct…our effort up front was overall bad. I would just rather have guys out there who, even though they get beat, actually give you 100% effort every play.

At least we fought back and had a chance to win the game.
The football game was complete domination. Watching the NC St game is what I imagine being neutered feels like
I have no words for what a bunch of horse squeeze this was
I hope no one shows up at the west end zone tonight, unless it’s to throw tomatoes at these pussies, Nuke Hopkins and Sammy Watkins excluded. Everyone on that team and staff, with the exception of Sammy Watkins and Nuke Hopkins should hang their heads in shame. I swear if I hear any more bullshit about how the seniors don’t want to practice in full pads any more I’m going to lose it. Fucking pussies.
yeah , I don't get that shit either .
If the seniors don’t want to practice in full pads , I sure hope they were never hoping to play at the next level …jeez .
No heart/fire
We came into this game with really nothign to play for and that’s EXACTLY how we played. I saw NO effort from the O-line and Tajh for the life of him couldn’t even get settled because he wasn’t sure when, not if but when, he was going to be put on his butt. I don’t blame Tajh nor the WR for what happened. He didn’t have time to throw and when he did it was either under pressure or he wasn’t in his groove and made bad reads. Can’t really expect more form a rookiee QB getting pounded.
I like Dabo but the last two weeks are on him. He is the head coach and it’s his job to either get the player to play like they care at all or bench them and put in the players that will. I would have put in EVERY freshman offensive lineman we had. NO excuse for our QB to get beaten up as badly as he did. And if you don’t win in the trencehs, you won’t win the game.
Tajh probably had a WTF chat with the OL today .
This offensive line doesn’t even act like it understands where the trenches are !
I certianly would
No excuse whatsoever! IF I was Tajh I would go up the each and every one of them and tell them how dissapointed I was in them. I would tell then that I put my faith in them week in and week out to keep me safe and that they failed me today. I wouldn’t sugar coat it, I wouldn’t be friendly with it. I would tell it like it was. Tajh had absoultly NO time to make proper reads because plays couldn’t develop in time because Tajh was on his BACK!
My mother doesn’t even understand football and even she said that it looked like they were trying to let Tajh get hurt and that each and every one of them should have been benched for a freshman.
A little
we had about an hour long discussion about what happened and she wondered if Tajh had done something to them this week to make them mad at him or something. I do like what I heard from Landon Walker though. He didn’t go politically correct and said that “all respect to NC state but they are an inferior team and we let them beat us”
YES!! Finally someone comes out and says what needs to be said. My best coaches had a philosophy that you can rest and take your foot off the gas when the other team was down by at least 20-30 points and the game clock was on zero. We haven’t had that same hunger to dominate since UNC imo
agreed
something changed after the UNC game . The team plays like someone spiked their gatorade or something . Just no fire or heart as you stated earlier .
We went from Sawg to overconfidence.
Sawg means that it doesn’t matter what the other team does, you’re better and you PROVE it by crushing them on the field. Overconfidence, where we’ve gone, menas that you step on the field and EXPECT to be handed a win jsut because you’re better. WE need to get back to the sawg and away from the overconfidence. We are a better team than SC and VT but it doesn’t matter if they want it more. And trust me, SC will want it a whole lot. Time to see if our players/coaches want it just as much. I like that Tajh looked very upset as did Ford and Walker. Hopefully this game was a wake up call and we will get back to kicking tail like we used to.
unfortunately
this won’t be a wake up call to those who need it. those who still need a wake up call after Georgia Tech and Wake Forest can’t be woken up, they don’t give a shit, and should be benched for the freshmen.
Bench every one of those fat lazy fucking offensive linemen
Let the freshmen play, they obviously want it more.
Sorry DrB ,
We are so sorry you have to endure this again play by play . Really , if you need the week off – we will understand .
Sincerely ,
All of us .

What I'd rather have
I think I’d just rather Dr. B go through all of his posts from the last 6-7 weeks and show how all the criticisms he’s been giving this team were valid, and how all of these weak points combined and caused us to get a fucking beat down today.
This has been coming, we are not as good of a football team as some people thought we were. I’m not as down on the team as some people, mainly because USC and Va Tech are also flawed football teams. If I was betting I’d say we go 1-1 over the next 2 games. So we either get a state championship or an ACC championship, I hope. But probably not both.
I can assure you that
NC F-ing State is far more flawed that USC and Virginia Tech. Unless we wake up, the rest of this season is fucked ala 2000.
Dear Dr. B.
Please don’t do it. It’s not worth it. We all know what the problems are and they are too many to name. Please take the rest of the year off. The season is lost, we won’t win another game.
I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet ,
We haven’t tried playing the bench yet . There just might be some freshmen who actually WANT to play . I am afraid we might get killed by the coots next week however , and letting them beat us three years in a row is UNACCEPTABLE .
they'd destroy us
Quinshad Davis would laugh at our entire defense

Forget about being a top 10 team, our defense is not a top 10 squad
We are not as good as a 9-2 record looks but we are not as bad as we looked today. The offense can’t win every game for us. Now we can put that “shock the world BS” away and focus on being a lunchpail group that will need to “learn” Maybe next year or the year after the offense and defense will be on the same page.
Could be the best ass whipping we ever got if it wakes us up.
Beat the cocks!
Dabo
If this team looks the same next wk & gets their butts handed 2 them as again, its time for Dabo to go. No matter what happens the next wk or n bowl game. In my eyes losing to then 3x’s in a row is FIREABLE OFFENCE. No exceptions.

Did anyone notice...
how many times we had 2nd and 1 and got stuffed into 3rd and 3 ?
When i saw that in our first couple of drives.. before all of the turnovers started.. it was obvious that the OL decided to mail it in today.
Pa-The-tic.
I think we can all say that justice was done in the end
by tripp1 on Nov 20, 2011 12:16 AM EST via iPhone app up reply actions
Morris/Tajh have been figured out
O-line play was abysmal – and injuries sunk us even farther – but what I saw tonight started withe GT game, was evident in the WF game, & we were exposed to an ugly degree tonight – opposing defenses Know what we are doing and where we are at least as well as we do.
Dabo has talked about self-scouting alot lately. Noticeably so going into the bye-week. Glaringly obvious tonight is that we aren’t too much less predictable than we were last year w/ KP’s shotgun=pass & under center=run mentality. Maybe Morris is being exposed / maybe OL performance is solely to blame.
One thing is for sure – if it’s not figured out & we don’t find something to play for before next Saturday – we can easily turn a dream season into yet another “doing a Clemson” & being held off of getting that 10 th win.
I’ve said probably too many times this year that this has been an incredible season considering that this truly is a “rebuilding” year with many freshmen / redshirt freshmen. But, given how well we’ve played up until the GT game – if we don’t find a way to win next weekend AND either the Title game or bowl game (2 of 3 w/ USC aust win) this season will be a dissapointment.
We blew away any & everyone’s expectations – & if we don’t find a way to win at least 2 of the next 3 – we’ll suck the wind out of all we’ve accomplished so far this year.

Well, Morris' offense is not that complex. We explained the whole thing over the summer
It is essentially the wing-t on crack with basic routes all teams on all levels run. The key is matchups combined with tempo. Additionally, he likes to take shots down the field—something we really didn’t do early on.
The offensive line play we saw today would doom any offensive strategy.
I will agree that Ga Tech gave opponents a pretty good strategy to beat this offense. Still, anytime a defense can put tons of pressure on your QB with four men, you are in trouble. Couple that with our inability to control the LOS inside (Morris’ strategy leans heavily on A-gap to A-gap run plays) and we are severely limited. We could not execute the inside counter today (Bellamy’s fumble) and simply fell behind so far that we had to throw the ball on every play.
I don’t think Morris is exposed. I think we have execution issues, particularly with our offensive line. I never thought I would say this (after watching Spence in action for a couple years), but Clemson probably needs to utilize more screens and checkdowns because defenses are content to rush 4 and play a soft zone to take away the long ball and make Tajh stay patient.
Long and short, the core issue is poor line play, not scheme. Tajh does have development but Morris has done a lot to improve this offense through simplified scheme and much better fundamental technique in skills spots. Unfortunately, it is tough to scheme around an offensive line that gives you the support we saw today.
S&C changes plus a shift in program/practice philosophy from the top is the only way to fix the issues we saw today.

There is only one way to learn how to tackle, and that is to have tough, physical practices that involve extensive hitteng
We have quite a few issues defensively, but fundamentally we look like crap and I personally blame this on practice philosophy (don’t know why else your players don’t know how to do the little things like wrapping up and jamming receivers).
Else, some of our players look confused which is very perplexing. You cannot be aggressive if you are not confident and know what you are doing.

Pathetic excuse
I won’t watch another Clemson game this season. No way in hell am I going to watch us drop our third straight to that steaming pile of shit team in Columbia and that fading legend HC they have. No fucking way the fake USC should be ranked and the real USC shouldn’t be…anyway, we looked horrible tonight. This team is SOOOOOFT.
To be more rational, we lose because we can’t block or tackle. Simple as that. We try to out skill people, and that won’t work. That’s why we have CJ Spiller, Jacoby Ford, Charlie Whitehurst, Chansi Stuckey, etc. in the NFL and don’t have an ACC title to show for it. We can’t get or coach up offensive linemen. We can’t tackle, either, which is ridiculous. I’m sick of Kevin Steele’s defenses. Sure they were good last year, but for God’s sake, if any decent DC can’t do very well with Jarvis Jenkins, Da’Quan Bowers and Brandon Thompson – three NFLers – and Marcus Gilchrist and DeAndre McDaniel behind them then that’s a shitty DC. What in the hell have these seniors done to deserve not having full pad practices?? Screw that; they need two-a-days.
We’re as soft as we ever were under Bowden if a loss to Georgia Tech can cause us to lose to NC State and deserve to lose to Wake Forest. I wish that for one damn game we’d just put Wisconsin’s players in our jerseys and let them maul people. This ‘smash mouth’ hurry-up offense hasnt’ been smash mouth all year, and it’s not now.
Glad to see that we improved from 6-7 though to 9-5.

I know our defense sucks
And I’m tired of talking about that staff of idiots and losers on that side of the ball.
But what I dont understand is Sammy Watkins gets hurt and all of the sudden not a single guy can get open? I mean every single pass play everybody was covered. Dwayne Allen had a guy draped all over him all night. I know Adam Humpries has a cool nickname like “white chocolate” but there’s no way he should be Watkin’s backup. He’s a one trick pony, he’s only good at the screen play. He cannot get open across the line of scrimmage and his lack of height cost us a TD on that perfectly thrown fade by Boyd. He’s just too damn short to elevate and get the ball. Jaron Brown has disappeared. Where the F was he all night? Where was Bryant and Peake? Nuk tried hard but they were doubling and tripling him all game.
Yea, our O-line has been soft on the run all year, but they had been decent at pass blocking until Price went down. Then they had to put Thomas at LT and Smith started again at LG. Then when Thomas got hurt, it was all over then. We couldnt block an old lady with a walker after that.
This team is folding. They’re going to get absolutely destroyed next week. Alshon, Shaw, Wilds, Clowney, Ingram, they’re going to laugh their asses off this week watching film of the shitshow that is the Clemson Football team.
I’m sick of hearing Datboy talk about being tough, make them tough or kick their asses off the team. Find some students who want to be tough, because our football players dont want to be.
No question....
USC is a far tougher team. We lose Sammy Watkins and go into shock…they lose Lattimore and Garcia and keep on winning, albeit against very bad competition, but their defense can tackle, will hit and get to the passer. I’m off the Kevin Steele bandwagon, too. Why in the hell is there constantly so much confusion in our secondary? That happened last year with seniors and it’s happening more so with freshmen/sophomores out there now. Our LB’s are lost and that’s directly on Steele.
by judge jeff davis on Nov 20, 2011 9:29 AM EST up reply actions
you want to know why nobody can get open?
it’s because we’re keeping the back in to block against a four man rush. do the math. that leaves 7 defenders to cover 4 receivers. and to make matters worse, we still can’t block those 4 guys with our 6!
Very true – State wasn’t even in hurry-up mode and I can’t say that our LB’s were set at the snap on a single play.
by gslmoore on Nov 20, 2011 9:45 AM EST via mobile reply actions
Write it down
This team does even come close to winning another game this year.
Unfortunately, you're right
In all honesty, this year has been a lot of smoke and mirrors. Got lucky to catch VT when we did. They hadnt played anybody all year up to that point and we caught them off gaurd. FSU, we caught them at the perfect time, EJ was out and so were their top 2 or 3 WR and top DB and we still almost lost to them. Auburn, well they freaking suck and we made them look like SEC champs. This team doesnt have a quality win all year.
USuC is going to absolutely manhandle this team. They are just much more physical on both sides of the ball. Clemson is still charmin soft.
Bowdenesque performance. Bowdenesque collapse likely coming.
Dr. B should not bother doing a play-by-play analysis. I’m not sure that I can bear to read it.
