FaithInIrish Forever 4,725 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Nuetral site kick-off primetime game. ND beat DJ last year, wonder if he has a big game tonight or Clemson takes a step back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is JT Daniels a transfer from USC after Slovas played well? Or am I making that up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithInIrish Forever 4,725 Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 UGA very vanilla west coast offense (Bama pre kiffin and sarkisian). Clemson on the long field in the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemson on the long field in the first half. I'd say that's because it's early, and JTD's first game. Their new OC is Todd Monken, so I'd expect things will open up as the year progresses. Fun Fact - Monken coached under Tom Beck at GVS before Beck moved on to the be the OC at ND. Beck also gave Brian Kelly his first coaching job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGA spreading it out nice, look better in their spread sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured they go slow with JTD the 1Q. He's 9/12 so pretty good. Lot of dinks/dunks though. Going longer now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipley makes a play in space, Nd recruit. Clemson trying to get DJ quick completions. DJ hits the skinny, and then a bad snap and another. Clemson flips field position, still 0-0. OR would the fake this punt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely will be a contest of Ds until mid 3rd IMO. Lucky if either get a FG lol. No fakes till 4Q Shipley would have been nice at ND, but never thought he's leave the Carolinas. Our RB coach definitely made him think though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure has a PSU-UW feel, that was 0-0 at halftime. Almost a pick there. Watch the defenses or special teams might really make the difference. UGA fails to get out of the way of a punt and Clemson recovers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ has his moments where you can see immense talent. But Trevor was a generational type talent. Nice to see another top 10 program like Clemson having growing pains replacing players 7-0 UGA at half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If either team was playing tune-up teams, I think both QBs would be on fire. UGA and Clemson are 2 of the top 3 defenses in the country. Bama is the only other team in that Tier 1 group IMO. Cinci the top of the Tier 2 group. For both teams, the Ds they face for the rest of the season won't be near as good. UGA plays UAB next week, and they have a very good D, but not near Venables' D. The next best D that Clemson will play is Pit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
