Saracuse bringing the heat
I expect the Syracuse defense to try and confuse/pressure Lawrence, but I think quit passes on slants and RB will slow down the rush. I really expect Venables to shut down the Cuse offense as retribution from last year.
28-17 Clemson win.
If I'm Syracuse I would be dialing up exotic blitz packages all game. Sure they will get burned a few times but A&M proved that Lawrence gets rattled with defenders in his face.
Won't be close. Perfect storm for them. Everyone expects them to be distracted. That's normally when a team is the most focused.
One would think so but with everything that has been going on this week what effect has it made on the locker room? How is Clemson practicing this week, are they full go or going through the motions? How many of the veteran players are upset with the way KB was treated?
I can tell you that Syracuse will be coming at them with everything they have. Will it be enough? I didn't think so last year and we saw how that turned out. I guess we will all know after Saturday
If it's close, look for some "home cookin'" calls in favor of Clemson. Gotta protect the only good team in the ACC at all cost.
They are never better off than we are. At the end of the day they are still clempsun. Nothing can change that.
This is a really inflated argument. Players of any team want to win. You may have some that didn't agree with the decision by the coaching staff, but they all see practice and if its clear to the coaches who is better then the team is very much aware of that also. I said yesterday in another thread about this topic, I can almost assure that there isn't a person on the offensive side of the ball that is upset about this decision. That offense changed when the freshman came in and you had better believe the WR and RB core are much happier now
Also a chicken is still a chicken.
