correct. the higher you are on the list doesn't mean you have the best potential, it means you are the best fit for college football NOW ahead of other rated behind you. He reminds me of Justin Miller that plays for the Jets and he was a pure shutdown corner @ Clemson...except Justin was corner #20 coming out of high school. Now he is a 2 yr starter for the NY Jets and an impact player

gr8 video man, those CFL analysts are worthless..."I have no interest in talking to Billy about the Sooners or ANY other team!"

"You can contact me when the season is over"

I hope this sh*t makes it on the air lol

get your head out your arse and enjoy the spirit of competition...keep your confidence and stop giving a rat's arse about how they think the outcome of the game will be. It's JUST A GAME man!!!!

I'm gona have on a App St jersey with a Clemson hat so hopefully tiger fans won't give me too much hell. 20 days and counting until kickoff hell yea!

Yea I am not trying to diss App St but lightning usually doesn't strike twice in the same place. @ the same time, i am obligated not to say "app st will lose." they are "supposed" to lose and i will agree with that.

i figured it will be crunk on opening day regardless, but compare the opening game 2 yrs ago against Louisiana-Lafayette vs Auburn or FLA last year. The VT game doesn't count b/c yall were the only game on TV on a Thursday. I just wana know the difference. Things change quickly even though its 80,000+ a week here in Clemson...especially in regards to the caliber of the opponent

reminder: ANYTHING can happen.

memo to everyone else that enjoys hearing things we already know: LSU isn't Michigan

i've been to knoxville when they've played florida, and it was the most intense atmosphere for a stadium i have witnessed. i know fans will be amped for opening day but this is not your 1st SEC matchup of the year, its App St. Will Tiger stadium hold to its #1 ranking of toughest places to play on Aug 30 or will it seriously just be an "average"(30,000 dB) game there? if not, the heat is gona make me walk to a bar lol. Either way, it should be an entertaining experience

i agree with everyone who posted early...Clemson

Seriously, we have Jamie Harper in for 3rd downs and he has bulked up to 230 already. They are already saying he will get 5-6 carries a game. We are deadly in the backfield this year

SEC or ACC maybe, but any other conference I completely disagree. Besides the fact that we have less scholarships which would make it unfair to begin with.

The OR is right...App would have a winning record if they played in the ACC. Clemson plays two D1-AA opponents(guarantee wins) and on top of that we have a Duke game. That means App would only have to pull off 3 more wins to get to a bowl. I think the SEC is the only conference they couldn't play in. And to all you jackasses, Pat White isn't even 200 lbs. Armanti is sitting at 190-195 lbs(yes he gained 15 lbs over the summer) with the equal agility and speed of Mr. White. That should say enough about his ability to run the offense of a good football team. Especially since both of them were considered "athletes" coming out of high school

You boys need to focus on your SEC schedule and quit worrying about App

You don't have room to throw this comment in here unless you see LSU fans REGISTER on an App sports site. In this case the pot is calling the kettle black

Here's the point: Alexander and Francois would have started last year. One was hurt, one was suspended. Therefore we played the season with 2 2nd string linemen. Now those 2nd string linemen have valuable experience. Plus, our 2 starters are back. I know we lost Dorsey, but in spite of that we SHOULD be better this year on the DL.

---

Your D-Line WILL be better b/c you have so many playmakers in the rotation. BUT, Armanti can beat your guys out the pocket with his legs 90% of the time. What sucks for him is that you guys have the best D-line in the best conference

Philly,

I'm skeptical of whether USC can really replace Sedrick Ellis and their great DE without some dropoff.

I'm skeptical of whether LSU's stable of talent can plug in CBs this year without a dropoff.

If I can be skeptical of top recruiting programs like that to plug in talented guys without noticing a change, I think it's reasonable for me to think ASU might have issues too.

Nothing personal - it's one thing to have talent, another thing to have proven guys. At any level.

---

Makes sense to me...here's where a USC fan should school us in on who's filling in for Ellis. You guys should school us on Patrick Johnson, Jai Eugene, & Chris Hawkins.

In the meantime, we will school you on Devon Moore, Brian Quick, CoCo Hillary, & Cortez Gilbert. I'm not sure you really want to inquire on these players(who should ALL make a huge impact for App in the Fall), but you are definitely using your common sense on predicting ASU can't plug in new guys without a change...I just think the change will be on the upside
