This will be a hell of a game. CBK better have the Tigers ready, looks like Clemson is loaded to.

With eight offensive starters back, Clemson’s continuity could be a game-changer in an era where transfer portal movement often disrupts team chemistry.

Defensively, Clemson returns 13 of 18 players who logged over 200 snaps last season. The unit, which ranked among the nation’s best in key metrics, is further bolstered by the addition of Purdue star pass rusher Will Heldt. His arrival should help maintain the Tigers’ tradition of elite defensive line play, which has been a cornerstone of their success under Swinney.

I want to be confident for this game but we haven't looked good in openers under BK...and clemson will probably be more motivated

The entire board will be confident. We will all predict a winning score and the few posters claiming we will lose will be chastised and beaten down by the vocal majority. We will lose in heart breaking fashion, go on a winning streak, lose to a decent team on the road, incur a 2-3 game losing streak, and finish the season 9-3. Then we will do it all again next year.

The BK special

I’ve already penciled in the L.

CBK is washed up with a ludicrous contract. He’s just going thru the motions… and he’s even bad at that.

Well its a home game for them and not this neutral site BS. Who knows, a loud crowd at their home maybe the cure to our slow starts.

BK with time to prepare outside of shite bowl games isn’t impressive.

He had two weeks and bama gave him a beat down like they hadn’t done to anyone all year

This is a dumb “continuity” storyline to generate some interest. Teams with the best players a la Ohio State have the best chance of winning. I’ll take what LSU did this offseason in the portal over the Clemson cult approach.

Put your Tiger hat back on it's the offseason don't be soft.
quote:

This may be true but it's a 10-year contract & despite what anyone says the rebuild was/is going to take 5 years minimum to consistently compete for anything of significance. The reason for the 10-year contract, 5/6 years of rebuilding and listening to an ignorant fan base & 4 years trying to win a NC and earn another big contract.
quote:

I don't know, revamped the offense (passing) <-- what most cried about when Les was here. He recruited and developed a Heisman QB.
Special Teams can actually field a punt/KO now, so there's that.
The Defense made "some" improvement last season.

Look I'm no CBK apologist but you can't take over a shite team without decent second stringers, into a juggernaut three seasons in. The team is just now building some depth behind a decent group of starters at the majority of the team's positions.

Temper your expectations & "want to believe" the offseason hype if you can LOL but it's a shiny hook. Patience is our friend & we don't call any plays, miss any tackles or cause any turnovers. Its entertainment, enjoy it or be miserable over things you have no say in/control over.

I'm not confident LSU will beat Clemson based off CBK's history at LSU but it's a coin flip today, so I remain optimistic. I'll save my melt till after the game.

Today we're going to the ship

BK cannot handle the SEC schedule. ND played a weak schedule most of his tenure. Consistent beating mediocre snd bad teams. Craters in most big games and drops a bad loss every year.
9-3 sounds optimistic for next season’s schedule.

If we’re being totally objective, Clemson played a bad schedule last year and got beat by the four best teams they played. Their best wins last year were a come from behind win at Pitt and a game they had to hold onto in the ACC title game against a severely overrated SMU team. Returning production isn’t always good production. This isn’t the Clemson team from 2015-2020. They’ve also been sluggish out of the gate the last few years going 1-3 in openers.

We lost to a bad USC team. No way BK can win this one.

We’ve lost every opener for 5 years running where we’ve been favored in all. The reality check of being underdogs in this one hopefully means they’ll be more motivated this go round and not soft going into the season

Don’t get a good feeling about it at all based on BK’s history
