Y'alls head gave gotten too big. Hopefully ur players think the same.

Because. I could see if this was Clemson first or second time being here. It’s our 3rd time in 4 years being here and we still get no respect If you don’t respect us, then who DO you respect? No one?

First off last years team doesn’t mean anything for this game. Experience is a non factor as Lsu has played what 7 top ten teams in varying venues already this season. That’s probably as many has y’all have played in 3 years.

I think in the last decade more so than the past the balance of power has become more and more consolidated. There is a select few who can take out the top one to two teams. As much as it pains me to say this given the Ohio state fans on this site I came away from the fiesta thinking the committee had it right that the best two teams were Lsu and Ohio state. I absolutely hate saying this because I believe in head to head but 7/10 times Ohio state wins that game. It took the perfect storm for Clemson to win. With that said. Clemson is One of about 2-3 teams in the country who can steal one from Lsu and Ohio state this year. I just think that if LSU avoids turn overs then they win.

Going through life not respecting someone because you don’t like them, even though they’ve earned it, won’t get you far.

What kinda dime store logic is this crap. Do I personally respect Clemson, no, I could careless about Clemson. Why do I care if you feel respected?

OU was just so bad, small, and unprepared for the game

You know whats crazy? Cole Cubelic said that he had talked to a friend on the OU staff and they were confident in their defensive gameplan. WTF

You don’t think that LSU has been disrespected? If Alabama had our resume, they’d be heralded as the best team of all time. Instead the CFP committee was manufacturing reasons not to rank us #1, up until the time they had no other choice. All we heard was how good Ohio State and Clemson were while we were mowing down ranked teams. First the media said that Texas was going to beat us, then Florida was going to beat us, then Auburn, then Bama, then UGA. You get the picture. Dabo’s “we’re disrespected” and “God wants Clemson to win” shtick has grown stale. We didn’t flinch in the spotlight of the CFP semifinal, and we will be playing in a venue that we’re well-acquainted with, in front of what’s sure to be a very pro-LSU crowd. I think we’ll be fine.

Go back to your lil pussy board where they boot anyone who isn’t pro Clemson frickboy

Don't really get the respect card thing as a CU fan. Much more interested in evaluating actual results and that is what this thread started on.

Did you really watch the game again? Because if you did, you saw BV at his best. We got gashed on two big runs that combined for over 130 yards. He completely changes the formations we were running and they got 70 yards after that on 32 carries.

Tony Elliot the OC, saw the coverage we were getting and changed from long vertical passes to short intermediates with TL being the primary ball carrier.

The actual results were we spotted them 16 and then outscored them 29-7. Now the knee jerk reaction to 99% of you is going to be about refs, or bad play calling on OSU, etc. The real results is CU changed game-plans midway through the 2nd quarter and won the game.

Dobbins was injured. That was the primary factor in the defensive success. That and the success of the continuous blitzing of Fields.

None of that was overly successful. What happened was Clemson landed 3 big plays. Good coaching led to some of that. But, it was more about the athletic ability of Etienne and Lawrence. The injuries at WR probably contributed to the lack of consistency on offense though.

For those keeping track at home, that's 200 yards on 34 attempts

Last time I checked, yardage gained and points scored in the first half still count.

---

For those of you at home they scored 2 TDs on 200 yards rushing and 300+ yards passing. Last time I checked the final score is calculated off of points scored not yards gained.

I would like to see some actual analysis instead of all of these threads.

give me until later. I am re watching game breaking it down now for critical moments and things to point out. I will give you your analysis later.
