The fact that a true frosh is their best option at RB doesn't bode well for an NC. Sure they can moonwalk into the CFP as there isn't an ACC team that could come within 2TDs, but this isn't an elite CFB team. OSU also has a frosh QB, but we have a better OL, and don't have to throw our true frosh 5star RB to the wolves from Day 1. It's almost better that Teague, Williams and Crowley are on the roster so that we can ease Henderson into being a starter.

That is, unless you have this guy...

My goodness. I haven't been around Clemson enough to see these feisty message board warriors.
They aren't handling the DK transfer well.

They think their coach talks to God so it would stand to reason they are barreling down the PSU/ND/tsun path to insufferable self righteousness.

I might be a homer, but I don’t recall folks on this board going off on a recruit that decommits or simply chooses a different team.

It’s the combination of:

1). Portal transfer
2). Historical rival
3). CFB contender
4). Week one opponent


If we didn’t play them this year, you wouldn’t see near the smoke

Nah that board is just full of asshats... I discovered it before the game last year. So they spent the whole time talking about us. And how we couldn't beat them and how we were obsessed. Then when we beat them it was less games and all we did all year was focus on them while they had better things to do. Half their board was pissed the LB got tossed even though it was the most blatant of targeting calls you can get. This offseason they have spent the entire thing whining about how the transfer portal is the devil and dabo does it the right way by not recruiting it and Clemson is a family. That transfers shouldn't be allowed and are ruining football... Yada yada

Uncle Lou goes OFF on Clemson! And the last line about Kendrick is pretty damn funny

 

[BigWoof31]

I love Uncle Lou and his trolling game.

He knows it will get the views, and the comments will be pure pandemonium

You forgot

5. They finally play someone with a pulse before the CFP and are scared out of their minds.

Kendrick being classified as a five-star is a pretty big stretch, but Arik is so rare that if he's eligible he might just make up for that by himself

“I would take Clemson out for this reason, Greeny. They meet the team that I think can get in in the first game of the season,” Finebaum said on Wednesday’s edition of Get Up!. “You have Georgia and Clemson in Charlotte, and if Georgia wins this game, and right now I think they’re going to, they vault to number one in the country perhaps. And yes, they still have to deal with Alabama later in the year in the SEC Championship game, but that would probably be about it. I think they’ll get by Florida and everybody else on their schedule. So, we could see a changing of the guard by the end of the first weekend of the regular season.”

ESPN college football reporter Heather Dinich piggybacked off Finebaum’s idea, highlighting a couple of areas where she sees issues with the Tigers this season.

“One is because I’m not convinced that their offensive line is going to be as good this year,” Dinich said. “They’ve got questions at wide receiver even if Justyn Ross is cleared to come back, and who is behind their new quarterback in D.J. Uiagalelei? I don’t think Dabo Swinney even knows that. So god forbid he gets hurt, that is a huge question mark at quarterback in terms of depth at that position.

“That Georgia game is the right place to start that conversation.”

Just sayin': Wouldn't you really be pissed off if Clemson didn't make the CFPs?

Just sayin': Ohio State - Oregon is a biggie; but Georgia - Clemson is undoubtedly the biggest nonconference game of the year.

"There's a bunch of stuff," Uiagalelei said at this past week's ACC Football Kickoff. "I think the one thing I'll touch on is how to become a true professional of the game off the field. The way Trevor handled different things off the field, how he dealt with media, how he dealt going around town. He couldn't be like himself, he had to uphold to a Clemson quarterback where he maybe couldn't do the regular things that a college athlete or college student couldn't do.

"He couldn't go down to Chipotle and get some food or it would turn into an autograph session, just different things like that, things about how to become a true professional of the game."

Just sayin': All off the field stuff....
