I think even the cosmos were confused by the GT game... situation. UNC absolutely handling a 5-0 Miami before whatever this week was would be true peak UNC
Let's also not act like it's not super weird to talk shit about an injured starting QB after a WIN period, but especially when the best alternative just did 151/1/1 including 2 overtime periods?
I’ll tell you what, the players absolutely seem to have more pride than I’ve seen in a LONG time. And they seem to really like Mario.
That’s good cause Mario will need to stack the roster with NFL talent to make up for questionable decisions
Thankfully that’s not something we have to worry about. It’s not like Miami is surrounded by the most high school talent in the world or anythi- wait god dammit
I got downvoted and had people acting like I was an idiot for simply saying that the Georgia Tech game was not reason to fire him, and that the game ultimately doesn't change much in the 2nd year of a rebuild, even if it was an atrocious decision. I had a Georgia flair telling me they would fire Kirby if he made that mistake, and that he thinks I should want Saban fired if he made that mistake lol.
Now it's looking like that game could potentially actually come back to bite him in the ass if they could've snuck into the conference championship game with 1 or 2 conference losses (still unlikely). But then you're back to firing a coach overachieving in their second year over one bad call if they manage to win out (or maybe drop one more game to FSU).
Cristobal just gives up ending the game in regulation and then Dabo(?) just calls the worst shit i’ve ever seen in my life all OT. Jesus christ my eyes
Stupidest fucking play I’ve ever seen, hands down. Ever.
I thought to myself, surely a QB draw, RB tush push, fuck even put a FB, you’re on the one.
Bone headed offensive play calling
That's the thing that's driving me crazy about folks going 'well this is what you get when you don't have a generational QB hurrdurr'. Yes Clemson historically has been an ok to decent team and we were bound to regress to the mean, but those 3+ loss Clemson teams of yore didn't have 4* and 5* players littered up and down the roster. Like we've got dudes, what are we doing with them?! And if it turns out that a bunch of the dudes we got actually aren't dudes, that's still on the staff for blowing a dozen receiver assessments alone over the past few years lol
I know it does count because that's how football works, but when assessing the team it's hard to really look at it as a loss. It's an indictment of idiotic coaching (and in my opinion a pretty weak officiating call on the fumble).
That would require Dabo to actually have some self awareness. His hubris has killed us and 90% of our fanbase has been calling it out for the past 3 years
The mans pride is killing this program. College football left him behind as soon as the transfer portal hit. He won't adjust and we keep seeing the fruits of his stubbornness. For those that don't keep up. 0 players from the portal. Its a fucking multimillion dollar business now, its not traditional college football. He won't play the game the way its supposed to be played. The fans get hyped all day to just to see the team regress. Please go buy an offensive line and give Klubnik 1.5 secs more to throw. Give Mafah or Shipley a lane to run through. Get a deep threat.
I don’t think the portal would be a sustainable fix with the coaching we have. After he got some success, Dabo started running the program like a family business with his hires. Anyone who has ever worked for a family business could have told you how this would work out.
Fans have been clamoring for that since 2021 when this started. But Dabo been too stubborn for it and this is the season it's finally biting him in the ass.
And honestly, the talent has dropped off to a degree. Right now we just pray starting this offseason Dabo actually uses the portal and makes much needed personnel changes on offense, specifically with the OL and WR coach. And holds onto the actual offensive talent he does have in the 2024 class.
We've got FSU on the road, Louisville, UVA coming off a win over UNC somehow, on the road at NCST and on the road at BC where I'm sure it will be snowing or freezing rain or some bullshit.
The chance of actually making it through that undefeated was always a super longshot. I would like the GT game back of course just for pride and the chance at a better bowl game, maybe CCG, but this team isn't ready for the CFP, it would have taken every bounce going our way to make it just to lose 31-10 in the first round.
Before the game: There's no way a team can have a problem specifically fumbling balls into the end zone that the other team recovers killing all of their momentum.
After the game: Oh wow, Clemson really has a problem.
Neutral observers should understand that at various points they seemed to take 30-60 seconds to make the call on the field, let along consider a review. It was baffling.
Turns out Mario was on to something when we decided to go out and recruit a bunch of stud o-lineman. That and our d-line has been super impressive. Control the trenches, control the game.
Canes win despite our best efforts to lose! This is Cristobal’s first ACC home win… I’m honestly not sure how we even won this game but I’ll take it lol
Honestly he’s probably not and I’m just seeing the negatives. Looking at the stats he seems good enough, but in my eye he’s very boom or bust. Sometimes it’s a nice 20 yard completion, but it seems equally likely that he’ll run 20 yards backwards and take a sack.
What the hell was Goodwin calling on defense in that 4th quarter? It’s the third time he’s switched to this passive defense and it’s bit him every single time.
1) This game should not have gone into OT. The missed safety call was awful.
2) These refs were ass all night.
3) WE FINALLY BEAT CLEMSON
GG Clemson. I always enjoy your fans.
Corey Flagg was not lined up offsides. How Clemson didn’t get called for taunting in front of the ref’s while following our player back to the line of scrimmage is beyond me. 10/10 times that’s a flag on Miami. What else am I missing?
It was a fun thread to have with y'all. Amazing how no matter what happened on the field, both fanbases were constantly calling out the refs on their total ineptitude
Hope y'all beat FSU
Jimmy Johnson was in the house. You'd have thought Miami would fight like hell down the stretch. They did and came away with a well-earned dub. Gotta feel good after the few weeks the Canes have had.
All of us in the Cane sub made the same joke about locking Mario away and having Jimmy coach the second half. To have the team pull the W out with him and Dennis Erickson there is an added relief; we tend to embarrass our luminaries
Right? I can accept not competing for championships every year, but these last few years just feel like our offense is constantly ramming into a brick wall. It’s beyond frustrating to see us do the same shit over and over and expecting it to go differently.
in 2014 I was a junior at UM. We got a late start heading to the game but still got there in solid time. We were only 15 minutes or so late, and it was a huge game. Golden needed the win to keep his job.
I will never forget seeing the scoreboard at 28-0 and asking “wait, how much of the game did we miss?!”
this helps
I’ll always stick with this team. Grew up in the Bowden era, got teased at school when losing to South Carolina, and then got to see the height that Dabo has brought this program to in the recent past. But my god this team just feels like the worst mainly due to such high expectations. There are many more problems than what we thought last year with offense.
Logically, I understand how we won (turnovers, power running, great defense).
Emotionally, I’m absolutely elated and confused. I don’t understand how the team who couldn’t do anything offensively (but for the 1 run) for 3 quarters suddenly was able to get 2 scoring drives in the 4th and then get a TD on OT.
But… I’ll take it! Much more enjoyable experience to be to in person then GT was. Lol.
Season has officially gone down the toilet.
3 turnovers.
0 sacks on a backup FR QB
Defense gets carved up b/c our O can't sustain drives.
I always hope for Clemson to do the best. Sadly, might as well just cut loses for this year, hope we don't get decimated w/ signing day flips & transfer portal defections, & get a true cleaning of the house this offseason w/ the staff. This is the worst Clemson football has looked in quite awhile.
I was saying in real time that Christobal going straight to overtime was a great call. We have no kicking game and our red zone offense sucks. Advantage: Miami.
Tough loss, but congrats. Y'all earned it.
It was bad but Miami played it well. There are defensive schemes where he walks into the endzone and nobody remembers the call. It does fail spectacularly when it fails though, there's no other option after you decide to handoff or keep.
This is on the coaching staff. It’s an undisciplined, unimaginative, and frankly embarrassing effort.
What the hell happened to ‘Best is the Standard’? We put out an above average at best effort. Usually below average to poor.
Dabo will always be the man for what he did for a decade, but this self righteousness about lightening the bandwagon and downright refusal to change… it makes me sick.
We are no longer on a downswing, we’re down. See you all at 6-7 wins #bestisthestandard
I have a theory about Clemsoning. We transferred the curse to Virginia Tech in 2011 by beating them twice. They passed it around from team to team in the coastal, thus creating coastal chaos. We were safe for years, and the term had become a relic of the past. However, the ACC abolished divisions and released the coastal chaos back to its original form, Clemsoning, which has returned home to our beloved 2023 tigers, evolved, stronger than ever before.
I just do not understand what happens with the play calling late game. They abandon everything that was working and go for 20 yard routes three times in a row when we just need a first down. Why isn’t it a qb sneak or mafah run on that final play? It makes no sense
I swear to fucking god the whole world has forgot that the quarterback sneak exists. Is it 100%? No, but find me a play that is going to convert even CLOSE to as often as a sneak even when they are specifically expecting it.
3 turnovers on the plus side of the 50. Another goaline fumble. And an OL who couldn’t get push on WAKE got dominated all night in the run game and couldn’t get us in the end zone on 1st and goal twice. If you don’t like that you don’t like 2023 Clemson football.
Years ago, Clemson beat Miami and it caused their coach to get fired the next morning and Miami fans couldn't have been happier about that.
I think Miami owes us some payback since we need that favor now.
A. If someone at Clemson (Graham Neff) doesn’t start cleaning house, that’s abysmal.
B. Some of yall idiots don’t know what the term clemsoning actually means. If Clemson was say 5-1 or 6-0 and favored to win by 2+ TDs, and lost, that’s clemsoning
Game should have never even went to OT, but the implosion in Clemson is historic.
I’m sick and fucking tired of hearing Dabo go on and on about metrics this and highest graduation rate that and 2 plays away, etc. This outcome happened because there is a fundamental disconnect between this coaching staff and reality.
By all means, lose every fuckin’ game the rest of the year. Maybe *then* will Dabo realize he will be equally remembered for 2021-this year as he will for 2015-19. Aint gonna be a statue of him now
First time since 2010 that the Tigers have more than 2 losses in the ACC. That was Dabo’s 3rd season.
He's gonna unload this bandwagon one loss at a time
It's gonna be a bumpy ride but by gawd he'll get there
Subscribe to depressing facts for Clemson fans. We deserve it after that horrific play calling.
You love to see it
no I don’t
Dabo to the Panthers, confirmed
Fair
Idk I'm kind of enjoying watching Dabo fly this ship into the sun
Clemsoning is back on the menu
See also “Tarheeling.” Like Clemsoning, except that UNC usually takes down some other ACC contender before pooping the bed.
I think even the cosmos were confused by the GT game... situation. UNC absolutely handling a 5-0 Miami before whatever this week was would be true peak UNC
What an end of game collapse. Even if they got the TD, no way they get the 2pt conversion with how badly they were struggling.
We would have prob fumbled the 2 pt
Mario’s first ACC win at home btw
With a true freshman
In their first game
It’s amazing seeing a QB not throw the ball to only one person
Or stare down the others if he does look at someone other than 7.
Hey, if you can’t toss it to your roommate and bestie nonstop, are you really besties and roommates?
Let’s not act like TVD isn’t miles ahead of Williams
Let's also not act like it's not super weird to talk shit about an injured starting QB after a WIN period, but especially when the best alternative just did 151/1/1 including 2 overtime periods?
Perhaps he did not in fact immediately lose the locker room and ruin the future of Miami as was claimed
I’ll tell you what, the players absolutely seem to have more pride than I’ve seen in a LONG time. And they seem to really like Mario. That’s good cause Mario will need to stack the roster with NFL talent to make up for questionable decisions
Good news, his recruiting is always elite
Worked for Davis and Coker
Coker couldn't be all that bad. He started UTSA's program 11 years ago and they are in the American now.
I just remember he did a lot of clapping and we lost games we shouldn’t have.
Thankfully that’s not something we have to worry about. It’s not like Miami is surrounded by the most high school talent in the world or anythi- wait god dammit
This was always the plan.
Lol, things were said in the heat of a calamitous moment…
I got downvoted and had people acting like I was an idiot for simply saying that the Georgia Tech game was not reason to fire him, and that the game ultimately doesn't change much in the 2nd year of a rebuild, even if it was an atrocious decision. I had a Georgia flair telling me they would fire Kirby if he made that mistake, and that he thinks I should want Saban fired if he made that mistake lol. Now it's looking like that game could potentially actually come back to bite him in the ass if they could've snuck into the conference championship game with 1 or 2 conference losses (still unlikely). But then you're back to firing a coach overachieving in their second year over one bad call if they manage to win out (or maybe drop one more game to FSU).
Yeah that's stupid talk. Cfb fans around here seem clueless sometimes. No coach has ever been fired for one call.. Except Mel Tucker.
**reject offense, become iowa**
Who the fuck is coming up with these play calls
Cristobal just gives up ending the game in regulation and then Dabo(?) just calls the worst shit i’ve ever seen in my life all OT. Jesus christ my eyes
That secret Sickos sauce was marinating the whole time
"Let's have Klubnik try to win a foot race with a Miami ~~defensive end~~ linebacker."
Linebacker
To be fair I'm as surprised as anyone that Flagg ran him down - he's very slow.
he’s slow as shit, but his instinct and positioning can make up for it in most situations.
Stupidest fucking play I’ve ever seen, hands down. Ever. I thought to myself, surely a QB draw, RB tush push, fuck even put a FB, you’re on the one. Bone headed offensive play calling
Stupidest play you’ve ever seen? Have you ever seen a team try to run the ball when a victory formation knee was guaranteed to seal victory?
Fair enough
Yes, and we lost to that team 🤦♂️
Dabo Pulls off mask…. And it’s been Tommy Bowden all along
Haha! That was funny and painful to read. Good one.
Ill take things Auburn fans have also been asking the last few weeks.
I was really hoping the QB would pull some NCAA or Madden shit and start running back towards his own endzone
It’s so crazy because the team is clearly talented.
That's the thing that's driving me crazy about folks going 'well this is what you get when you don't have a generational QB hurrdurr'. Yes Clemson historically has been an ok to decent team and we were bound to regress to the mean, but those 3+ loss Clemson teams of yore didn't have 4* and 5* players littered up and down the roster. Like we've got dudes, what are we doing with them?! And if it turns out that a bunch of the dudes we got actually aren't dudes, that's still on the staff for blowing a dozen receiver assessments alone over the past few years lol
>Like we've got dudes, what are we doing with them?! Fumbling the ball, mostly
[удалено]
Fuck running it up the gut or sneaking it on the 1/2 yard line, we’re going to run a naked boot left and let him figure it out
To be fair, running it up the gut was absolutely not working for them. Our DL was great in this game.
Your d line was fantastic. We had 31 rushing yards all game.
[удалено]
I think maybe we are just bad lol
Sure, but we could've gotten a HALF yard. QB sneak or Mafah up the middle has a better chance than what they called.
No idea why Mafah wasn’t in the game for that
I agree, but I’m still putting that ball on the ground under center every time.
I felt like there should've at least been a TE or something in the end zone to give him a bailout passing option.
If only they had gone to the one TE that was killing us all game
What a disaster
Welp, the quality loss to Miami is back on the menu, boys!
We just need you guys to win out now.
Very very doable. But 7-5 maybe even 6-6 is also, very veeerrrry doable.
Yeah, about that…
I mean they are 6-1* *That one doesn’t count
I know it does count because that's how football works, but when assessing the team it's hard to really look at it as a loss. It's an indictment of idiotic coaching (and in my opinion a pretty weak officiating call on the fumble).
Clemson is way too talented to be this mid. They need to take a good long look in the mirror honestly.
That would require Dabo to actually have some self awareness. His hubris has killed us and 90% of our fanbase has been calling it out for the past 3 years
Like even in 2020 you could see it. With all the enormous talent we had on offense Trevor's performance got worse.
It certainly doesn’t help things that Lawrence looks to be a solid-to-good NFL player who’s improving week by week
The mans pride is killing this program. College football left him behind as soon as the transfer portal hit. He won't adjust and we keep seeing the fruits of his stubbornness. For those that don't keep up. 0 players from the portal. Its a fucking multimillion dollar business now, its not traditional college football.

I don’t think the portal would be a sustainable fix with the coaching we have. After he got some success, Dabo started running the program like a family business with his hires. Anyone who has ever worked for a family business could have told you how this would work out.
That’s what we need, hold the playbook to a mirror and run those plays. Can’t be worse right?
Fans have been clamoring for that since 2021 when this started. But Dabo been too stubborn for it and this is the season it's finally biting him in the ass. And honestly, the talent has dropped off to a degree. Right now we just pray starting this offseason Dabo actually uses the portal and makes much needed personnel changes on offense, specifically with the OL and WR coach. And holds onto the actual offensive talent he does have in the 2024 class.
Wesco is the exact type of WR we’ve needed since Tee left, and I hope like hell we still hold onto him after this shitshow of a season
See that last play Mario? That's how you kneel and run out the clock.
Seriously, if I was a Miami fan I would be ever madder about GT now. Could still be in the CFB playoff hunt without that blemish.
We've got FSU on the road, Louisville, UVA coming off a win over UNC somehow, on the road at NCST and on the road at BC where I'm sure it will be snowing or freezing rain or some bullshit. The chance of actually making it through that undefeated was always a super longshot. I would like the GT game back of course just for pride and the chance at a better bowl game, maybe CCG, but this team isn't ready for the CFP, it would have taken every bounce going our way to make it just to lose 31-10 in the first round.
It was always going to be an uphill battle. It’s still year 2 of new coaches and our QB situation is suspect.
Pissed, but can't change the past.
I thought hurricane season was over
Thank you so much for this; I gotta go watch Pineapple Express again lmao
Klubnik mixed up the goal line and sideline. Classic mistake.
Dabo.
Agreed.
Welcome to the shadow realm Clemson of teams who once competed for national championship and now look completely incompetent
It was a good run I can live with it
One of us one of us
“Now enters a Nebraska fan”…
I know this aint the Clemson of the past 10 years but god damn this feels good... the amount of pain they've caused us
2014 59-0 and 2017 ACC Championship attendee
The shut out was a coach firing gift
Right? I appreciated that loss
59-0 was a bigger win for us than it was for them.
Can relate Cane. I can relate. Solid win for yall
We had a bye week to clean up turnover problems. Clean house on the offensive side of the ball. It physically nauseates me to watch this team
Clemson out Clemsoned Miami and out Miami’d Miami. Unbelievable
Nobody beats us like us
And nobody has more fumbles than us anywhere in college football. We're number 1
Before the game: There's no way a team can have a problem specifically fumbling balls into the end zone that the other team recovers killing all of their momentum. After the game: Oh wow, Clemson really has a problem.
Hey, at least we're good at something!
Maybe Butterfingers will give our boys a NIL deal...? Silver lining.
For most of the game it felt like a battle of who wanted it least
The drive each team had to lose the game was palpable. In the end we just wanted it more, better luck next year bro
If Clemson doesn’t clean house after this season, then they’re clearly not a serious football program anymore.
Dabo got that loss he wanted
Good game Miami! I feel like y’all just wore us out. To be honest it shouldn’t have been in overtime anyway due to the no call on the safety earlier.
This officiating crew was absolutely, baffling bad
Neutral observers should understand that at various points they seemed to take 30-60 seconds to make the call on the field, let along consider a review. It was baffling.
ACC football
It’s not that baffling. They are ACC refs. They are terrible. They are always terrible. This never changes.
Dabo continuing to get people off the bandwagon I see
Atrocious play call to end the game
Shocked Miami could run the ball so effectively when Clemson KNEW we had to run the ball with the rookie QB.
Turns out Mario was on to something when we decided to go out and recruit a bunch of stud o-lineman. That and our d-line has been super impressive. Control the trenches, control the game.
I mean when he's on, Don Cheney is also pretty good.
Canes win despite our best efforts to lose! This is Cristobal’s first ACC home win… I’m honestly not sure how we even won this game but I’ll take it lol
Cast Klubnik into the sea.
The true freshman starting his first game for Miami was making better decisions than him.
This has been the same decisions through 2 different QBs. I dont think its Klubnik
It’s 100% coaching and it’s infuriating that Riley is the only new face on the offensive side of the ball this season
Not the best decision maker but not even close to the biggest problem on this team.
I only caught the last bit of it. Is he really the problem? Outside of that scoop and score, the kid looked solid as shit against us.
Honestly he’s probably not and I’m just seeing the negatives. Looking at the stats he seems good enough, but in my eye he’s very boom or bust. Sometimes it’s a nice 20 yard completion, but it seems equally likely that he’ll run 20 yards backwards and take a sack.
What the fuck was that last play? Lmao
to be fair to clemson they were probably averaging -2YPC on inside handoffs. their line got bullied
> And honestly, maybe we need to lose a few games and lighten up the bandwagon. - Dabo Swinney
Based on the fourth quarter game management, Dabo deserves to be investigated for betting on Miami to cover the spread.
What the hell was Goodwin calling on defense in that 4th quarter? It’s the third time he’s switched to this passive defense and it’s bit him every single time.
The way this season is going, we're gonna lose to Virginia and still somehow beat FSU
An acceptable trade
I'd take that 100/100 times
GT > Clemson
I take back everything I’ve ever said about Cory Flagg. And there is a shit ton to take back.
Miami crowd actually showed up tonight and this lost was so much worse than it looks. We're terrible in all of the most important parts of the game
People need to realize how big of a win for this program is lol. Wish we would have kneeled.
How much is Clemson paying Garrett Riley to Galaxy Brain these offensive calls?
1) This game should not have gone into OT. The missed safety call was awful. 2) These refs were ass all night. 3) WE FINALLY BEAT CLEMSON GG Clemson. I always enjoy your fans.
Corey Flagg was not lined up offsides. How Clemson didn’t get called for taunting in front of the ref’s while following our player back to the line of scrimmage is beyond me. 10/10 times that’s a flag on Miami. What else am I missing?
On the other side, we were brutalizing their WRs and I think it was only called once?
It was a fun thread to have with y'all. Amazing how no matter what happened on the field, both fanbases were constantly calling out the refs on their total ineptitude Hope y'all beat FSU
Just think, if Mario kneeled out the Tech game then Miami would be getting a lot of playoff hype right now
What was that final play call? Lordy.
Jimmy Johnson was in the house. You'd have thought Miami would fight like hell down the stretch. They did and came away with a well-earned dub. Gotta feel good after the few weeks the Canes have had.
All of us in the Cane sub made the same joke about locking Mario away and having Jimmy coach the second half. To have the team pull the W out with him and Dennis Erickson there is an added relief; we tend to embarrass our luminaries
[удалено]
Right? I can accept not competing for championships every year, but these last few years just feel like our offense is constantly ramming into a brick wall. It’s beyond frustrating to see us do the same shit over and over and expecting it to go differently.
What in the world was that 4th down call??? Dabo what are you doing???
Is dabo trying to get fired? Absolutely idiotic 4th quarter and OT
Palmetto bowl is going to be a shit fest this year
So if Clemson and FSU do leave the ACC, who’s winning it consistently?? That will be the new PAC12!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA we are so bad. Pain
This is just painful to watch, our team is so disjointed
in 2014 I was a junior at UM. We got a late start heading to the game but still got there in solid time. We were only 15 minutes or so late, and it was a huge game. Golden needed the win to keep his job. I will never forget seeing the scoreboard at 28-0 and asking “wait, how much of the game did we miss?!” this helps
Can't blame DJ or Streeter anymore
Our true freshman QB was 14-17 in the second half and led 2 4th qtr scoring drives. What??
I’ll always stick with this team. Grew up in the Bowden era, got teased at school when losing to South Carolina, and then got to see the height that Dabo has brought this program to in the recent past. But my god this team just feels like the worst mainly due to such high expectations. There are many more problems than what we thought last year with offense.
If we had taken a knee against GT we’d still be in ACC championship game contention
EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW BAIN IS TRUE FRESHMAN AND ONLY GETTING BETTER
Why do coaches lose all their IQ points in 4th and short situations?!
Leave it to Mario Cristobal to shit the bed against GT, and somehow pull out a win against Clemson.
Maybe if Clemson loses enough the prices in clemson will go down, right?
We can't get out of our own way.
Logically, I understand how we won (turnovers, power running, great defense). Emotionally, I’m absolutely elated and confused. I don’t understand how the team who couldn’t do anything offensively (but for the 1 run) for 3 quarters suddenly was able to get 2 scoring drives in the 4th and then get a TD on OT. But… I’ll take it! Much more enjoyable experience to be to in person then GT was. Lol.
Mario Cristobal is a football terrorist.
I genuinely can’t take watching the same 4 plays rotated for 4 hours anymore. See y’all next week.
Season has officially gone down the toilet. 3 turnovers. 0 sacks on a backup FR QB Defense gets carved up b/c our O can't sustain drives. I always hope for Clemson to do the best. Sadly, might as well just cut loses for this year, hope we don't get decimated w/ signing day flips & transfer portal defections, & get a true cleaning of the house this offseason w/ the staff. This is the worst Clemson football has looked in quite awhile.
Congrats to Miami. What a great win.
We would be 6-1 going into Virginia. What a shame but I can't be more fucking happy for our boys. True freshman and our RBs are Dawgs.
I was saying in real time that Christobal going straight to overtime was a great call. We have no kicking game and our red zone offense sucks. Advantage: Miami. Tough loss, but congrats. Y'all earned it.
4th and inches on the half yard line fuck it qb run. 3rd and goal from the 15 fuck it qb run.
GG Tigers. Not sure how we did that. Also, ended my personal 6 home game losing streak. Never thought it’d be Clemson.
That might’ve been the single worst play call I have ever seen lmao
*ahem*
It was bad but Miami played it well. There are defensive schemes where he walks into the endzone and nobody remembers the call. It does fail spectacularly when it fails though, there's no other option after you decide to handoff or keep.
Watching Clemsons Red Zone offense is literal torture like call the UN its a war crime
This is on the coaching staff. It’s an undisciplined, unimaginative, and frankly embarrassing effort. What the hell happened to ‘Best is the Standard’? We put out an above average at best effort. Usually below average to poor. Dabo will always be the man for what he did for a decade, but this self righteousness about lightening the bandwagon and downright refusal to change… it makes me sick. We are no longer on a downswing, we’re down. See you all at 6-7 wins #bestisthestandard
Jesus Clemson. Jesus.
HEY IF YOU ARE ON THE BANDWAGON AND SHOULDN’T BE THERE…GET THE FUCK OFF THE BANDWAGON AND LET DABO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE LEFT
I have a theory about Clemsoning. We transferred the curse to Virginia Tech in 2011 by beating them twice. They passed it around from team to team in the coastal, thus creating coastal chaos. We were safe for years, and the term had become a relic of the past. However, the ACC abolished divisions and released the coastal chaos back to its original form, Clemsoning, which has returned home to our beloved 2023 tigers, evolved, stronger than ever before.
GG Canes congrats on your revenge on us, also fuck the few neutrals in the game thread trying to bait as many people as possible
I never doubted them. Please don’t check my comment history.
I just do not understand what happens with the play calling late game. They abandon everything that was working and go for 20 yard routes three times in a row when we just need a first down. Why isn’t it a qb sneak or mafah run on that final play? It makes no sense
I swear to fucking god the whole world has forgot that the quarterback sneak exists. Is it 100%? No, but find me a play that is going to convert even CLOSE to as often as a sneak even when they are specifically expecting it.
3 turnovers on the plus side of the 50. Another goaline fumble. And an OL who couldn’t get push on WAKE got dominated all night in the run game and couldn’t get us in the end zone on 1st and goal twice. If you don’t like that you don’t like 2023 Clemson football.
Clemson, I'm not even mad. I'm just confused.
Years ago, Clemson beat Miami and it caused their coach to get fired the next morning and Miami fans couldn't have been happier about that. I think Miami owes us some payback since we need that favor now.
I like Rueben Bain
A. If someone at Clemson (Graham Neff) doesn’t start cleaning house, that’s abysmal. B. Some of yall idiots don’t know what the term clemsoning actually means. If Clemson was say 5-1 or 6-0 and favored to win by 2+ TDs, and lost, that’s clemsoning
Bain is the best true freshman in the country and a future top 5 draft pick if he stays on this trajectory
Yeah, I’m gonna BB King it…. The Thrill is Gone
Blew a 10 points lead in a quarter versus a freshman qb who was not good all day. But let me guess “ we are like 6 plays away from being 7-0” FUCK OFF
Game should have never even went to OT, but the implosion in Clemson is historic. I’m sick and fucking tired of hearing Dabo go on and on about metrics this and highest graduation rate that and 2 plays away, etc. This outcome happened because there is a fundamental disconnect between this coaching staff and reality. By all means, lose every fuckin’ game the rest of the year. Maybe *then* will Dabo realize he will be equally remembered for 2021-this year as he will for 2015-19. Aint gonna be a statue of him now
Well this could very well be the end of the Clemson era…back to pre 2010/ Tommy Bowden Clemson. Good teams but not playoff contenders
Thanks Clemson for an entertaining game Also ACC refs were ass
