ACC Championship Gamethread: Va Tech vs. Clemson

Virginia Tech Hokies at Clemson Tigers, Dec 3, 2011 8:00 PM EST


565157_medium

Which Clemson team shows up? I could see Clemson bringing the pain or just getting hammered. Maybe the members of this team that have mailed it in this year will decide to work hard and actually try to win a football game. Maybe the defense will hold Va Tech under 500 yards rushing.

I think too many guys on this team have grown complacent in practice and aren't worried about their PT. I think our last truly tough week of practice was before the last time we played Virginia Tech and I doubt we had a tough one this week, so I don't think we'll match VT on the line of scrimmage. If you don't win the LOS against VT you almost never win the game. Tech is going to blitz McClain, Thomas, and Freeman heavily so the RB will need to be in to block quite a bit. If we can't run the ball to take that pressure off, then its going to be a bad night.

I'm more worried about the confidence of this squad. If we screw up early and VT gets a quick 6, we'll roll over Bowden-style. If we hang in there and VT happens to not play well, I think we can win. I don't really believe we'll shine like we did two months ago.

You can use this thread for the entire day of Championship games.

Price is back which will probably have a lot more to do with performance than "mojo".

Still the same players as the ones that appeard in Lane Stadium, but VT doesn’t have home field advantage. We can win this one. Blitz Thomas. Hit Thomas. Hit Thomas. Blitz Thomas. Need another big game from Branch. Clemson needs to play hard, like it’s for the ACC championship. It is.

Go Tigers!!!

Whats really funny is

that you when you drive into Mississippi from any interstate, you will see “Welcome to our State” signs from Miss State. Miss state is sub par at best and Ole Miss’s program is a joke right now. Southern Miss is the best team in Mississippi right now and would beat MSU in a bowl game if MSU would actually play them in the Liberty bowl, which is highly unlikely since MSU can opt out of playing Southern Miss if that were too happen.

I expect us to lose by 35 points tonight

As they will run zone read all over us over and over and over, and our weak ass OL will not moveor block anyone.

I hope someone is calling them little all girl,s and their mommas crack whore,s because they need to playpissed off like they actually give a crap tonight for us to have any chance, and they have not done that in longer than I can recall.

Honey Badger PR TD

Holy hell, block in the back, anyone?

That was a ridiculous block in the back

He also flipped the ball to the ref right as he was crossing the goal line. I rewound it and it was really close to being a fumble.

Kinda what the ACC did for Clemson back in the day, until our fall from grace. Or “stumble, shot-self-in-foot” from grace.

Just wish our O-Line would play like Georgia's

If we had 1/3 of the intensity they have shown in this game we’d have avoided the last two losses.

I just want this game to come on and be over.

by tigersadness on Dec 3, 2011 5:54 PM EST reply actions  

That's because Georgia is whoopin' that ass

Tyrann’s bullshit antics should have cost them that TD as well (not to mention the block in the back). If it weren’t for two dropped passes and a missed call on that LSU TD, Georgia would be winning 21-0.

Gotta love the game, because those small nuances completely change a game sometimes.

Hopefully only one team of Tigers will play like shit today…

Bellamy suspended

He has turned out to be a total waste of a slot. Barely sees the field, doesn’t know the plays, fumbles way too much, can’t shut up or follow rules.

Honestly the fact he is not out there to fumble at a critical moment makes feel our chances are probably better.

A linebacker made the play.

The LG missed a block on the second level. He was supposed to go up and block their outside linebacker on the left side. He failed miserably and the linebacker was able to get around him and make the tackle. If he makes the block, it’s a walk-in touchdown.

don't want to give carolina too much credit, but they did a much better job

playcalling and getting after Boyd last week than VTech did this week…and were committed to running the football. Spurrier is a much better offensive coordinator than O’Cain.

Still, we are playing much better overall than last week, I’ll agree to that. and Dabo needed some amo to go to iptay meetings with this spring

Lol! I'm a regular on the Panthers blog.

The Panthers gave me the massive screw by not picking Jacoby Ford. They traded a 2nd round pick for the next year to get back into the bottom of the third round. We needed a kick returner bad and a future replacement for Steve Smith so I’m positive Jacoby Ford is gone and we got him.

“The Panthers select….Armanti Edwards!”

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

So fast forward to this year. We need DT’s desperately and Brandon Thompson is the best shot I got of a Clemson player getting on the Carolina Panthers. Go get him!

Not right now.

He’s on his way down draft boards a little bit. But the combine isn’t here yet so we’ll have to see what he does then. He’s been double-teamed by the entire ACC the whole year so his stats and play on the field haven’t been gaudy.
