Offense can’t do anything and they don’t have a good QB (sorry peters)
OREGON FOOTBALL. BEATING OSU. CRISTOBAL MOOREHEAD TY THOMPSON CJ VERDELL DYE BROWN. SO MUCH TO DISCUSS.
NC State video.. Do they have a chance to snap almost a 35 year drought of a conference championship in the 3 major sports?
What college head coaches you think would be good nfl head coaches
The future of “yellow bloods” the teams like Coastal UTSA BYU Liberty teams that are good that are normally eh to below average
Coastal Carolina is officially the best team in the state….
lmaooooo you don’t believe that
Only fools believe that.
Wow. I lived in Lake City for a year. Folks in Columbia & Greenville won't like that.
In SC dialect: "Um, Columbia." SC food is #NextLevel.
@@TulsaSooner1979 only people in denial don't believe you your cute little tigers are done its ok to join the teal swarm clemson won't be going to the playoffs ever again dabo overrated Trevor Lawrence and Deshaun Watson made him look good
I do believe this and apparently I’m not the only one. Any other SC team ranked higher in the top 25 AP or coaches poll?
Clemson is missing an extremely crucial part of their offense that was filled in perfectly by Renfrow and Amari Rodgers. They moved their best outside receiver to the slot position. The offensive line is terrible. The QB looks like a robot probably because of the immense pressure to perform due to expectations and his NIL dealings. Dabo is washed and acting completely out of character. Has no will to win and doesn’t even really bother making an excuse outside of shit happens. The team is losing its previously strong depth to the transfer portal with a coach completely unwilling to use it to replace those losses. Clemson looks like a dying program that doesn’t know who they are anymore. It’s honestly hard to watch this team barely survive opponents that they were beating by multiple possessions the last five years. As a Clemson fan I can’t confidently say that this team will beat everyone left on this schedule and there are some real stinkers on that schedule. Dabo needs to figure this shit out and stop hiring and recruiting his friends.
Please don't say Justin Ross is their best WR. He's trash. He wont get drafted and there are no others. There are NO playmakers. The cupboard is bare. If you don't have a great slot guy, then most teams can offset this with a good TE. Clemson has neither. They don't have the Oline to sustain a good running game and they're very high on Shipley who is VERY average, Cant break any tackles, because he wont get his nees up and he's used to running untouched(this is from his HS highlights) This isnt NC, there are real Defenses who are just as fast as he is.
Dabo is like Kirby where he wants to give Schollys to his buds sons overachievers. It is what it is. He is gonna get fired in 2 years.
Sounds like Dabo Sweeny is reaching burn out!
He is just getting tired and losing some good coaches who support him.
@@coach0080 coming from a Clemson fan watch his 2018 hilights
"And Justyn Ross didn't even put his hands out to try and catch the ball" -THANK YOU! That really stood out to me watching that play
i agree and no problem!
@@ScottFisherCFB and according to some people that’s still gone be DJ fault 😂. Our coaching is bad rn. We have too much talent to be playing this bad 🤦🏽♂️
New coaching hires were bad Grisham (WR coach) and CJ Spiller (RB coach) have no prior experience in coaching.
YESSSSSS
That what no ones highlighting and I don’t get it
The Tarheels seem like a bigger disappointment. They were a pre-season top 10 team and were blown out by Georgia Tech.
in all fairness Clemson is a top tier titan team. Tar heels hasnt been to the Natty in a while..
Lol
I wish a 2 loss season for my team would be considered a downfall lol.
Almost kind of a compliment to call 2 losses a downfall. It is unusual for Clemson though…
Well the season just started so…
Although with their schedule it might be their only two losses when it’s all said and done, they’re going to have to fight almost every game this season.
Have your team join the ACC...you'll be bowl eligible just on conference play alone.
@@brucecampbell8436 , pretty much more than half of the ACC is equivalent to FCS out-of-conference teams that good teams schedule for tune-up games. If I were those teams I would quit scheduling Appalachian State and schedule ACC teams. App State actually has a reputation as giant killers shocking many teams like Michigan.
-correction: App St is now a FBS team but they're still better than half the ACC.
That’s what I was thinking it’s too early to call them bad yet
@@modernationblue7625 Half the ACC? ALL.
I don't think they are done but definitely going to need to rebuild and make new plays
Yup
Agreed 👍
Now with 3 losses Clemson's is done for this season in terms of a National Championship. They need to play for pride, to gain experience and a good Bowl Game.
@@georgewoodget271 And possibly an acc championship but thats a longshot
-Wayne Gallman didn't play with Tajh. He played with Deshaun.
-Hunter Helms isn't currently backing up DJ 2nd string is Taisun Phommachanh
Taisun was hurt in the spring game, I thought he was out for the season
@@Gopherll he’s back go look at the depth chart
Yeah, Tajh had Andre Ellington
@@SnoozaMusic but he never plays unless DJs helmet comes off.
I'm a Clemson graduate, and I would say it's definitely a rebuilding year. When you lose Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne to the NFL, those are big shoes to fill. Go Tigers!
Not if your bama aka nflu
Ohio State lost Justin Fields and Trey Sermon
@@noahverhoff6203 And lost to a crappy Oregon team. When you lose talented players, it takes time to fill their shoes unless you get lucky and get freshman exceptions
@@coach0080 What's yiur favorite team? Let me guess Bama...
@@pagopagojt0740 I like Clemson. Especially Trevor. Etienne, T Higgins Renfro. Watson, my namesake Mike Williams. Miss those guys. The newer guys need to step it up on O. D was top notch.
There is a Georgia fan I like to watch on CZcams called Uncle Lou who is pretty sure one of the biggest reasons for Clemson taking a step back is Dabo's refusal to recruit players from the transfer portal and he isn't wrong, just as you said one of the RB's transferred out and Wisconsin now maybe better because of their willingness to have him come to Madison. Where on the other hand Clemson has missed out on upgrading positions they could have by not convincing players from the transfer portal to come play for the Tigers, and that would be a pretty easy sell a good portion of the players would accept, so Clemson wouldn't have trouble doing it if they tried. So I think you must consider this reason too.
Uncle Lou is definitely right though. When it comes down to it, on serious videos he's very informative.
trouble with Clemson and the transfer portal is they have supposedly recruited so well the last few years. Players want to play and they don't want entrenched veterans they will need to beat out. Nick Saban has excelled as he sells only the best players play and he has no loyalty or deals with players...that is why you see so many two and one year stars at Bama.
@@lennyj2080 Dick saban is a cheater
@@mikewilliams9069 Hi Mike...can you please send just one article that details proof of that? To my knowledge (been watching Saban since his MSU days as I am a UM grad and fan) he has never been put on probation or even had to provide evidence in a case against him, his staff or any school he coached at. He inherited a program at Alabama that was under probation for handing out free book to players but never has been proven to be a cheater...just proven to be the greatest coach in CFB history and a man that has changed 1,00s of young men's lives.
@@mikewilliams9069 Mr. Mike, still waiting for that one shred of proof I asked for...or will you send it over after Nattie #8?
As always great content, I would like to see a topic on Arkansas and if you think they are legitimate
Sorry. The first problem is the O-line. It has been going down hill since 2019. The running game production has been in decline since the 2018 Natty. It is all on the line. The blocking scheme is complicated and these guys don’t have what is needed to make it work. The line needs to be fixed before anything else can happen. DJ has lost his mojo and the wide outs are only good for 50/50 balls which DJ can’t throw accurately. Not that the wide outs get that chance because we don’t seem to throw many 50/50 balls anymore. The wides can’t get separation in the short game and we have no slot receiver. But none of it matters if the line can’t block properly. The Chad Morris offense needs to go. It was great for its time but that time has run it’s course. Just ask Chad after he mucked up his last two coaching gigs at SMU and Arkansas. Pittman is making headlines with Morris’ recruits.
You forgot the lack of running game. Try recruiting some RB's
@@coach0080 he literally said “the running game production has been in steady decline since 2018 Natty”
@@coach0080 Huh?? He did mention the running game... Also, they HAVE been recruiting RBs. (Will Shipley was a 5 star, Mafah 4 star)
@@ech4949 Will Shipley was a 5 star from NC, I watched his HS film. He played against NO ONE. He's average. Had he played in Florida, Texas, Ca and a few other places, he's a 3 star. Mafah is better than he is and he's a decent back based on his physical size but also average. So stop with the 5 star rating trash
@@coach0080 Alabama, Georgia, and Florida all offered Shipley. I think I'll listen to scouting experts over you complaining about Clemson's lack of recruiting efforts.
Die hard tiger fan. I’m honestly speechless. Speechless .
You’ll probably still win 8 games this year which is a disappointment for you guys. But it could be a lot worse, you could be an FSU fan.
@@Chris-tq1jy the way it’s looking I wouldn’t be shocked if BC beats us
@@michaeldove3377 I hate to say it but BC wins. I liked a strong Clemson because it gave college football fans a team with a legitimate shot at the evil empire(Bama)
@@michaeldove3377 I’m a BC fan and alum so I hope you are right. Lol. But I don’t think so. I’ve been a BC season ticket holder for 30 years, the Clemson fan base is always the classiest and well mannered fan base that travels to BC. Given how successful the Tigers have been, I would’ve expected arrogance but I have nothing but good things to say about Clemson fans. NC State fans on the other hand are the worst. Both FSU fans and NC State fans are the trashy. As far as BC is concerned I don’t expect BC to win, we haven’t been to a big bowl since Heisman trophy winner Doug Flutie was our Quarterback. Jeff Hafley has done a great job so far modernizing our culture from 1980’s style football. Boston College is heading in the right direction but they won’t be a CFB playoff contender any time soon. I would just be happy with a consistent finish in Top 25 every year.
Look around at the rest of the ACC...that should make you speechless.
Should do a break down of the Ole Miss Alabama game and your pick
Anyone noticed that clemson has one of the worst offense in d1 college football?
Isn't it like 122 out of 130 or something like that?
@@CC-bm3wb I think 112 outa 120
No because my poor game cocks are the worst in college football but our chances are looking great at home this year
@@Randy-jb4un did I ever say that Clemson’s offense was the worst no I said they have one of the worst offenses not the worst
@@neogamerfort9632 Thy are headed that way trust me hahaha 🤣
Clemsons biggest problem is Dabo refuses to use the transfer portal. Multiple olinemen were in the portal in the offseason that were better than clemsons current starters. Dabo not willing to change with the game will hinder clemson more than anything.
Noel, just think though, Dabo didnt get Trevor Lawrence or Watson or any of the others from the transfer portal.......so how did he do it? It's this method, ( DABONESE,if you will) one of the culture and an overall wholesome environment, as well as much other too, such as having
it's own
Natural Allure, that freely draws only upon the devoted ones, with the proper qualifications, to start with, those payin attention, and those who are knowingly an willingly prepared to accept the required demands of which these qualifications and demands from the start are no surprise once enrolled.
This, in itself quickly eliminates a lot of very unnesasary hufla, and chances of pre certification disaster an more bs, or as in our current situation, someone else's rating of a 5star qb, that as it turns out of course cant play up to the required standards of Clemson, and even if you could box him backup, he didnt come with a return address! This thing about transfere" from one school to another is red flag within itself, even dangerous, infact, is there now a pricetag on allegiance now? Some are workin on it! But you cant buy devotion, not real zealous committed devotion, no, so this whole transfere thing is from the start suspect, even hateful to a commitment of this depth, and it dont matter what they say, its sorta like a chicken eating dawg, or a wild woman, if they done it one time, they'll do it again, you cant instill trust in something as evedent, or you goofy as a football bat if you do! No, we ain't interested!....BUILD A HOUSE OF QUALITY IN THE WOODS, AND THEY WILL COME!
JUST SOME THOUGHTS BRO!
It’s the offense our defense is still very elite when healthy
It’s easier to get to the top than it is to stay there. That’s what makes Alabama so unique and I’m not a Bama fan, but their long term success is impressive.
NIL is eating into the Clemson culture. I really believe it’s eroding college football.
NIL will destroy college football, just wait and see.
It’s not hurting Alabama or Georgia!!!!!
@@Steve_643 yet
@@tomcooper5188not just college but the future NFL talent too. that's what I have been saying. I'm glad dudes are getting their share of the pie but previously, alot of athletes in college played with a lot of heart and grit to make it to the next level but now all you gotta do is try in high school and be a 5 star recruit and you're guaranteed 6 or 7 figures in college. Cue DJ Uigialei and Quinn Ewers
I bet Dabo will be looking into the transfer portal after this season. Something he stated that he would not do!
Unless they pull in Arch Manning. Lol
Dabbles Weenie
HE DIDNT GET TREVOR, OR WATSON FROM TRANSFERE PORTAL,
@@theotherconfederrasputin2729 No he didn't but he needs to use the transfer portal for the o-line that can help protect the QB. One or two receivers won't help either.
@@thecensoredmuscle563 OL not QB. I swear people can't comprehend anything they aren't force-fed by the talking heads.
Clemson just got out of their (Vince Young, Colt McCoy era). Watson & Trevor Lawrence were the best QB's in Clemson history, so they're clemson again
very true
All facts
They also in top 10 college QB’s ever
2 quarterbacks out of the state of Georgia made Clemson look great!! Tell dabo if he wanna get back to winning comeback to the state of Georgia and get him another Georgia boy at quarterback
@@MalitubeeThey were near great. One National Title doesn't make you top 10. Neither won a Heisman or even a major award. Lawrence would be a top 5 had he not lost his last two biggest games. His regular season record was shiny but it was gained on beating inferior teams.
They don’t have an explosive offense, they don’t have an offense
I agree
@@ScottFisherCFBthere defense isn’t cfp level either
@@AndersonNorden the D is top 5 in the nation…
As an Alabama fan, I would hardly call one non-playoff year a downfall....Expectations for Bama, Oh St, Clemson year in, year out, are just ridiculous!
The transfer portal has exposed a lot of coaches an teams.
I think it's that simple.
The title of your video is the "DOWNFALL" (in all caps) of Clemson football, but you conclude by saying they go 9-3, playing good football at the end, and then back to the CFP next year. That's not a downfall.
Just for the clicks
Deshun Watson started the Clemson Dynasty!!! Without Deshun Watson having those great winning seasons.. Trevor Lawrence and a lot of other great Clemson players would’ve never showed any interest in going to Clemson to play football
No tajh Boyd actually started the Clemson dynasty not deshaun
@@CLEMSONtiger300 tajh ain’t win Clemson no championship deshun Watson did, then Trevor Lawrence
@@theelite2625 Boyd started the momentum then Watson just took it to another level. Never seen someone beat Alabama single handed like that
The recruiting classes from Tajh’s era to Deshauns are virtually identical. So that alone kills your point.
@@mike48931 you’re proving my point even more dummy! If they had same recruiting class then how come “BOYD” couldn’t lead that recruiting class to win the natty and Deshun Watson did?!! Come on now bro! They even have Deshun Watson Ranked as the Number one quarterback in Clemson football HISTORY!!!! Google it!!! Trevor lawerence is Second! Boyd didn’t do much at Clemson all his did was lead the team to a ACC championship and a bowl game! He wasn’t even a runner up for Heisman. Watson n Lawrence started the Clemson dynasty’s know ur facts read up google will tell u! Tajh Boyd could NEVER beat Alabama in the Bcs national championship the way Deshun and Lawrence did. He wasn’t ELITE enough! Like those two Georgia bred QBs
With the way transfers are occurring now it's hard to say who they will have next year or for that matter who any team will have for next year. If they don't get their quarterback and offensive line problem sorted out early this year it's hard to say how they will do next year just my opinion.
I think you did an excellent job of breaking down Clemson and their issues. I'm a huge Clemson fan, Clemson graduate, and grew up 20 mins from Clemson. You were fair, spot on in most areas, and very knowledgeable. I'm hooked. I will subscribe now and give you an A+ on dishing the dirt on why Clemson sucks this year!! Well done!!
I'm from Anderson county.
Kelly Bryant is better QB than the overhyped, overrated, and underwhelming Dj Uiagalelei
You forgot to mention Demarkus Bowman,Do you know why he decided to leave for Florida I thought he was going to be the next ET..Wonder why these top RB’s are leaving like they’re
Deshaun Watson and Lawrence were Super Elite passers and 2 of the best QB's ever in college football... and it's just hard to replace those kinds of rare talents. And ya gotta have a high-level passing game to be upper echelon in college these days. Only a few teams are able to have a very strong passing game year in and year out - Oklahoma, Bama, Ohio State, etc. And Oklahoma even had to bench the #1 QB from high school (Rattler), as well. It's very hard to have a super high-level passing game every year. See LSU, Clemson, and even Florida - this year. Geeze... even Harbaugh who was a QB himself hasn't produced great passing teams at Michigan. It is not easy.
Trevor wasn't a great quarterback. Only had 1 good season
Elliott is the overall problem, PERIOD !!!
The talent is there just not being developed properly.
Talent? You can’t run the ball. You can’t throw the ball. You can’t block or tackle. Simply put, you can’t win. Your talent level is hurt, overrated, or has been, or never will be….Posistion for position, GA humiliated your offense
@@driventoaccount3276 to be fair your offense didn't do much either in the clemson vs Georgia game as well. using your logic, clemson humiliated your offense as well. just waiting on next season for our 5 star QB to get in town and have will shipley healthy, we'll be fine. a long with some new WR's and new O line talent. the entire offense is filled with freshmen and sophomores with only one senior
@@Cody-mz2re yes Cody our offense didn’t do much, but you can hardly say Clemson dominated GA at all. Ga is known to sputter sometimes ( been in the game since 1965) but I’m just glad they could play. I think everyone wanted that. Just like in 81 when Clemson and Ga traded Nat Champs, maybe this is GA year. I have a mixed house, love the Tigers and Dabo, except when playing GA.
I will say though after watching Dabo on the sidelines, I did lose some respect for him…but really all ya gotta do is beat the chickens. Clemson will bounce back, just tough to recruit here as you know. Regards
Bro Hunter Helms isn’t the backup, Taisun Phommachanh is
Why the music?
Does Sweney have his eye on the Alabama head coach position once Sabian retires?
I don't think so, but you never know!
I would think everyone would have their eye on that position, the question is who does Alabama have their eye on?
@@fnkdtnk they already have rejected him before I dont think he would
@@pagopagojt0740 I doubt they would offer him the position, but I have a hard time imagining anyone saying no to taking the HC spot at Alabama if its offered to them.
yea man you basically missed it in this breakdown, the problems stem from the scheme of the offense they run and it trickles down, DJU has been good but with pressure around him and constantly in his face makes it hard on him bc he didn’t have to deal with that in the few times he showed up last yr plus the scheme relies upon a qb run game, rpo quick game that all tethers together this is essentially chad morris scheme that he learned under gus malzahn and in this scheme the pass game concepts are very basic thus having an underdeveloped oline a unit they do not recruit well puts even more pressure on DJU, the scheme was great & innovative for the time it was introduced but since it’s been average or below also in a conference where everyone knows what you’re running doesn’t help either since there hasn’t been any advancing in the scheme in creation it’s just what it is so to blame the players i think it is bad but i’ll mainly blame the coaching but if dabo is smart which i think he is, he will adjust appropriately and help this team
Being associated with several players from the Clemson football program. Debo has yet to address the racial culture and comments that was said .. therefore resulting in many black players not putting forth their best effort especially if they're not an potential NFL draft pick.. even my friend Ross has taken a step back..
what did he say
CLEMSON ISN'T DONE, a drop off could/would be expected but with their recruiting, which is still in the top 5, they will be back on top maybe before the end of next year, it also doesn't hurt that they play in the acc
Personally I always thought dj was overrated
Dabo got DJ because Bama had Tua make me think different
Dude Clemson was eliminated from the playoffs after they lost to UGA. There was no path for them to get back after that loss with the ACC being so weak and Clemson's schedule being even weaker.
I knew that but now it’s official
There would have been no problem whatso ever, uga was not a conference game, and also score no TD THE ENTIRE GAME! Clemson only had to finish and win the conference, and of course by seasons end uga will have at least 2 losses, osu lost their opener, it's still far too early to say what will happen, but let me be first to say it, we ain't got no biz there, unless TOMMOROW DJ does a 360, we need to be qb shoppin!
As though they got blown out, lost by 7 bc of a pick 6 to an elite offense that scored 3 points on them, DJ is garbage but if they went the rest of the way beating teams handily, they would of absolutely made it, but I knew they would lose again and will lose more then two games.
If Clemson won out they would be back in the CFP. There was definitely a path. There is still a path but will require a bunch of other teams to come up with 2 losses and Clemson to win out. I think Clemson will drop at least another game.
@@Elementalism No… there wasn’t a way after the UGA game and there’s def no way in hell there’s still a path for Clemson after losing to Nc St. They’re schedule was the softest in the nation excluding UGA and they still couldn’t win out. Done. They’d have to hope Oklahoma, Oregon, Ohio St, Bama, ND to all have 2 loses and UGA 3 loses. They’re also playing the field against the teams that’ll go 11-1 and some that’ll have better wins at 10-2. They’re currently 22nd and that’s too high IMO.
Hoping this season doesn’t affect Dabo too much, he’s a great coach, but the offense is really struggling.
Dabo’s mouth is a constant distraction for that team.
Need new O-line coach and play caller. That last pass was well defended as everybody knew that he would be going there, DJ should have faked it long and thrown for a first down.
No they won't be back if Tony Elliot is back. He's an awful OC that his incompetence has been hid by unbelievable talent. If Dabo refuses to make this change, then maybe it's time for him to go to because he doesn't have the best Interest of the team in mind.
It's especially upsetting since my family is Clemson for life
This is an extremely low level analysis you could have got this info from reading comments from CZcams clips. Watch some games
There are several position coaches and one coordinator that needs to go . All of which in my opinion , and other clemson fans were convenient , but bad hires. Brandon Streeter QB coach, CJ Spiller RB coach, Tyler Grisham WR coach, Robbie Caldwell OL coach, Tony Elliot OC and TE coach. These are the problem areas . If not addressed at the end of season. Expect more of the same. Lastly use the portal Dabo. Times have changed . Players are no longer committed to a team or coach.
Love the instrumental is back but the issue is dabo and Tony playcalling. They putting to much on DJ and not trying to run the ball which kept ga tech and ncsu in the game. It seem like they are sabotaging the season
Ostarine... been down hill since it was "found" in the supplements. They are not outrageously quick anymore. Even if this gave them a 1-2% advantage in speed over another team. Over the course of the game that becomes difficult to withstand. Now they have no where to go but down as everything works in the second half when you have that advantage. It's a way bigger story than pursued but the NCAA turned away over the "feel good factor"
I think it’s Clemson’s O line, everybody wants to blame DJ but every QB struggles with no time to throw.
Because "success is not a continuum". It is almost an impossible task to keep a program at a high level as new personalities, coaches and players, come in.
Bruh, you mentioned a lot of their problems, which is true. However, I think the real problem is a drop off in coaching? You also didn’t mention bad plays by the defensive secondary?
If your success depends on having the best quarterback recruit in history and a round 1 NFL draft pick running back, then your coaching is not good.
Lets talk about what he did last year against Notre Dame, the most yards ever passing against them. Dj has the talent, the Offensive line is abysmal, and the play calling is pedestrian this year, and that is because of the qb. the talent on this team is massive. 5 stars everwhere
A look at Oregon State would be cool, especially after their first win over USC at the Coliseum in 61 years. They've got something happening in Corvallis.
they are included in tonights video!
@@ScottFisherCFB Awesome, thanks for doing what you do. I like your approach to college football.
USC is a dumpster fire,I wouldn't put much faith in Oregon state
@@michaelmerck7576 Yeah, you're probably right.
I think we all have become delusional. The run Alabama is on is really unprecedented. Much like New England in the NFL. Clemson will be fine, they have won two National Titles in 5 years. Lost twice in the championship in that span, and lost two semifinal games in 6 years. This is a program that had one total championship in their previous 120 years.
It’s not someone new in the cfp if you can’t get bama out of the mix also. Do that and then you’ve got a new field in the cfp.
Well, Tajh Boyd had Andre Ellington before Wayne Train came along. So there's that Lil tidbit.
Rival South Carolina might be another loss added to Clemson. Throw the record books out when they play each other.
I may have been too harsh on Lawrence: he and Etienne (and a dumpster fire ACC) were what kept Clemson afloat in 2019 and 2020.
Lol that's dumb as hell, I guess blowing out Alabama in the Natty had something to do with the weak ACC,
@@tingtingnoy3133 He said 2019 & 2020. We beat BAMA in 2018. Justin was spot on.
@@mikekittrell9059 and who was better then Clemson that should of made the playoff that year? 2018? Ohio state shouldn’t of even played that year, they got blown out by a crappy Purdue team 😂 ,
Ohio state shouldn’t of even been eligible the covid year the big10 changed their rules to allow them to play in the championship game And the big10 was absolutely garbage, second best team was Indiana or maybe Northwestern 😂 ACC had 2 teams in the playoff Bc they were so bad
@@tingtingnoy3133 although it was impressive for the ACC to get 2 teams in for 2020 (put an asterisk beside that because it was a one year thing for Notre Dame), they lost by a combined 80 - 42.
Neither team were competitive other than Clemson for about a quarter of play.
@@tingtingnoy3133 That was the weakest Alabama defense under Nick Saban. Quinnen Williams didn’t even start on those legendary Alabama defenses from 2015-17 because he wasn’t good enough.
This makes Trevor's sophomore and junior season look better
I think ultimately, Lawrence and Etienne carried Clemson in 2019 and 2020.
Clemson doesn’t “suck”. They lost one game to the team that will probably be National Champs this year and it was the first game of the season. They also lost to a underrated NC State in double overtime.
They will probably win out the rest of the season and win the ACC. And even though they probably won’t make the playoffs unless the committee will take a two loss team which up till this point they haven’t, they will go to a New Years 6 game and should win that.
And finally they are still recruiting well and they have one of the best if not the best coaching staffs in college football.
So I don’t think finishing 10 and 2 winning the ACC and a New Year’s 6 as sucking.
The way the offense is playing that's a bit of a dream... barely got past GT and lose to NCst... They could easy lose more... Defense was tough but Skalski hurt and DJ just isn't ready for pime-time
I don’t pay close attention to Clem football. Recently I’ve read that, aside from Jackson Carman(who maybe was a disappointment), Clem’s OL recruiting has been subpar for a few years & the veteran off playmakers covered up that fact. Is the OL the biggest detriment to the success of the program now?
It’s a culmination of issues, but I don’t believe for one second Clemson is done after this. The OL has taken a step back, but they did improve against a decent BC team. Starting a back-up won’t help Clemson because our WRs haven’t stepped up with an exception of Ngata. Drops, ineffective blocking, but Clemson is getting better.
Fall from grace couldn’t happen to a better team. I’d be extremely satisfied if they continue this downward spiral.
Dabo gonna be the first one in the transfer portal next season lmao he’ll be eating that humble pie
His mouth is a constant distraction for that team. Ohio State loses one game and Ryan day immediately makes changes to the coaching staff. Dabo loses 3 and says “I’m happy with my staff, I’m not changing anything.”
tony elliot with no jeff scott is the problem with this team. play calls are absolutely awful
They’ll be back in the playoffs next season as long as DJ isn’t the QB and if there’s any improvements from Tony Elliot’s play calling.
You know it's bad when you're an underdog to Pitt.
Like LSU, the problem is the offensive line. Get that fixed in the offseason, and everything will be back to normal.
You are so right Thomas Smith....but if u really look into it all of those things you've said was a problem has been there since 2011 n maybe since Dabo's 2nd yr as head coach....the Clemson coaching staff has never cleaned up all of the false starts, holding the jumping offsides, PI.....Clemson has had talent to over come those mistakes in the past...n i still think they hav talent but not to that level....the passing game offensive coordinator(Jeff Scott)left in the end of 2019 ....he also was good at recruiting wr talent ....thats gone n his passing gm play callin as well....so all of that n Dabo not taking juco transfers n transfers from the portal is all the issues at least to me
It's a makeshift offensive line some guys are not plying to their abilities, out of their normal position and we've got a lot of offensive linemen banged-up. Taisun Phommachanh who's in cleared to play is the back up QB.
Our offense sucks....we need a new offensive coach.. Dabo next
Not utilizing the transfer portal.
Etienne really didn't do much in his last year.
Because their O line was below average last season, and is much worse now…
The threat of him doing something helped the offense though
It's simple....no Deshaun Watson or Lawrence.
I don't know why my favorite team Clemson is sucking this year. We use to be dominant and ferocious, and now we suck.
If Dabo doesn’t get his head out and go to the back-up QB, they’ll be lucky to not lose 5 this year. You could see #5 didn’t have it last year against ND. He can’t move well, can’t throw consistently, he’s slow, he thinks slow. You nailed it. Whatever the reason, he can’t process fast enough to be any good at this level. Time to move on.
A struggling QB that’s not mobile, and just isn’t very good right now, the struggles will not help that. The line is young, we don’t take transfers and have lost 21 players to the portal in the last 2 years, add 29 players lost to injuries and you have a war of attrition. It will take time to rebuild the depth. If our QB was hitting the wr’s we would be hiding all these issues. But we have lost 4 running backs to the portal since last year. No one can absorb that much loss.
GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!
Clemson's problem has been at quarterback. ngada has been a great receiver when he has opportunities. DJ is just sitting in the pocket and the game is too fast for him right now. maybe the hundreds of thousands of dollars Have screwed with his head some. That money will dry up real quick how hes playing..
No real running back isn't eleviating the pressure off him as teams are kinda just pinning there ears back vs Clemson and finding success in AT LEAST flustering their QB. See Tech and Nc State,both did just that
Clemson's problem is the offense they run - it's terribly limiting and plain. They're gonna have to make some changes to continue to be competitive.
What? DJ is going through a divorce with his parents... Shut up about the NIL. There's a problem with the entire offense. It's not just DJ.
Clemson is worse now
Once they get a new QB and perhaps a new OC, RB doesn't matter much, etienne could not run against teams with a good D line, he was more of a receiver at that point. And after Georgia I guaranteed they will lose again even in that weak schedule, the offense is garbage.
Clemson’s problem is that they’re fundamentally flawed in the way they approach the game. Turns out keeping all of your assistants for a long time makes your program stale. Where dabo stalled in yesteryear in his approach, Saban has been able to foresee the coming changes and adapt ahead of time. This just makes what Saban has done in 15 years at Bama all the more impressive. Dabo rose to the top and then flamed out. These kinds of fundamental changes aren’t fixed overnight or by getting a different qb. It takes years, if at all. Sorry to rain on your parade.
@@drc5378 put Lawrence or Watson on this team and they would be undefeated right now, they won’t be scoring 3 points against UG, So yes definitely the QB,, or the main problem is the QB, the OC hasn’t even been there long, what 2 years, first year as the main guy last year, their defense has been solid with a pretty sound recruiting class every year, so it’s definitely not their DC. their OL; can’t figure out why they recruit so poorly there,
DJ just can't get it done at all at QB, got to give the backup's a shot. There is no reason not to try the backup QB's because it can't get much worse.
Aren’t you a Clemson fan you had the jersey on in your profile pic but changed it 😂
Lol I think it's due to bad coaching you can't blame injuries or replacing talent. Bc, Bama does that every year including losing coaches. So that's not a reason. I just think it's over for them. They flow of talent has diminished, & once again coaching is a big factor. When you don't have those " elite " players as you are talking about they're average at best. I mean TL isn't easy to replace but neither is a like Tua, or Mac... but Bryce Young has done pretty good so far in stepping up.
Break down Coastal Carolina. They got the top QB in QB rating and Comp. %., one of the top receivers, and not a bad coaching crew.
Shipley is overhyped! Would be a better slot receiver or a Div 2 or 3 star at running back
False
@@xandercrews4729 sorry but I disagree. Too fragile.
@ John Martin that’s absurd. The fact he didn’t end up with a torn ACL on the play he got hurt is a borderline miracle.
Does Clemson Tom do more harm for Clemson than good?
No pizza party. Damn!
Seems like most of the blue blood teams (what Clemson has been saying it is) reload while dealing with all the same issues Clemson is currently dealing with.
DJ U looked like the next great QB last year against ND. Don't know how he regressed so far, so fast. His passes look off this year. Justyn Ross looks uninterested.
This video aged like a fiiiiine, fine wine. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that I wish Bama would hurry up and fall down already
Line play will make or brake an offense.
The idea that a formerly top team might drop to only be a solid top 25 team makes them "suck" is horrible. CFB desperately NEEDS for teams to not automatically stay in the top 5 year after year after year. The increasing lack of parity in CFB is killing the sport. If CFB wants to end their decline in ticket sales, they need more teams to have plausible chances for the championship and end the era of >120 of the teams each year having zero chance of significant success.
Roll Tide.
I'm glad that college players get paid now but I feel like the New NIL rules will water down future NFL talent. If dudes can make 6 or 7 figures straight out of high school, why even try in college? That's the case with DJ and a lot more in the future. Keep an eye out on Quinn Ewers too.
The same people hating on Clemson now, were the same bandwagon fans loving them when they were playing and beating Bama in the 2 national championship games. This year is a wash, a reloading year. Top recruits are still coming in. Can't wait for Cade Klubnik to start at QB next season. I trust in Dabo, he'll get this right. Go Tigers! #ALLIN
DJ Ugs has been severely underwelming. If Clemson wants to keep their ACC streak alive, a QB change is needed. Most say benching won't solve anything but a spark is needed.
DJ Ugs was over hyped and he is trash,fact. They definitely need a quarterback change. When I seen the Georgia game that did it for me.
DJ isn't the problem, can't throw the ball if you're laying on your back. Got to have OLine to protect QB, changing QB isn't gonna change anything
@@ronaldgreen9772 you dont know shit anymore than the other morons saying the same thing
No downfall. They had a great qb and now he’s gone. His replacement isn’t up to par. Or even close.
And to your point on no 2 loss teams making the playoffs even if this was the year that a two loss conference champ got in any of the other P5 conferences would get their two loss champ in over a 2 loss acc champ
One with 2nc's?
Theres no way of knowing with this many games to go, and all the loseing yet to come, truthfully, we prolly got several more disapointments to come out of this 5star, and in no way anyhow, deserving of such an opportunity!
Unless......
@@theotherconfederrasputin2729 well the ACC is down as a whole, so the lack of resume building wins available to Clemson makes it virtually impossible that they get in as a two loss team even if chaos ensues and two loss team)s do.
Just good for thought! With this 5star qb that cant play up to Clemson standards, we in a mess!
The committee does what it wants, 2 loss teams are accumulating fast, be plenty by December lol!
@@theotherconfederrasputin2729 I don’t think winning a Natty 3 years ago helps Clemson’s case if there’s a discussion of them vs another 1-2 loss team.
Clemson is absolutely out of the playoff. I very rarely use that word, but the ACC is bordering on a G5 conference at this point. Their best team (whoever that is) is more likely to end up 8-4 than 10-2.
Play calling is abysmal. O line is bad but they’re not game planning around it. They’ve taken maybe 10 shots down field so far and it has resulted in the few drives they have scored.
They obviously have the talent, just not enough to make up for shit play calling like they have had to do since Chad Morris left.
The DJ U curse happened again.
Yeah I think they 2 more losses coming in the regular season. Probably drop their bowl match up as well. Been a fan for about 17 years. I can’t remember them looking this bad. The Bowden years perhaps.
