Aaron Brenner ‏@Aaron_Brenner
(Clemson OFfensive Coordinator) Chad Morris says his QB rotation with Stoudt, Watson will be more similar to the Georgia game than SC State. "What an opportunity for Cole."

Don't play Stoudt, Clemson.

We had the same issue pop up back when Kyle Parker was starting QB, and Tajh was the young rookie backup. Everyone and their mother screamed for them to put Tajh in, but for seemingly no other reason than for seniority's sake, Parker stayed in.

Let me just start by saying I think Stoudt is better than Parker was. I really hope they took some time in the week off to work with Stoudt on a few things, and Morris and Dabo have already said that their play-calling for the UGA game was waaaaay too conservative. And they're absolutely right.

For the last 15 years or more (pretty much going back to Woody Dantzler), Clemson's offensive approach has been big plays and big play-makers. First possession of the game on the 25yd line? gently caress it, go deep and punch them in the nose. Stoudt doesn't quite fit with that mold, at least not yet. Or rather, he would if we had the big name guys at WR or RB to make amazing catches on not-so-great throws. Last year was just the perfect storm for that kind of offensive scheme because Sammy simply could NOT be out-thrown, and Tajh had a big enough arm to test that.

In short, I want to see Watson get a lot of play time on Saturday, but I also don't want to see him get hurt. And I honestly don't think Cole has done anything to warrant having his starting position pulled yet.

Dabo and Jimbo obviously have a gentlemen's agreement to play Stoudt for the first have too.

Eh, putting Deshaun in will be a judgement call based on how well Stoudt does in the first few series. I think Deshaun will definitely come in before the half.

"The plan doesn't change for us; we have to play a great game. We're going to try to play a great four-quarter game; that's the bottom line. They're a bigger program than one player. We may be the most battle-tested team in the country after three games; and that's a good thing."

I mean I realize it's probably cumulative, but suspending for an entire game, let alone a whole year, for this incident is dumb as gently caress.

Maybe if FSU had actually punished him even slightly for the theft/assault charges he wouldn't feel like he can do whatever the hell he wants.

Exactly. They didn't so it's completely cumulative.

FSU could probably run the ball every play and still blow Clemson out, last year's game was a complete rout and that Clemson team was much better than this one.

It's not that cut-and-dry. Defensively Clemson is actually better this year, especially in the front seven. People talk about the 2nd half of the UGA game, but it really wasn't until the 4th quarter that things started to break down. UGA only had a FG in the 3rd and really couldn't punch through the line very well. Due to lovely conservative play-calling on the offensive side, the D was just on the field way too much and got gassed, that's when things broke down and UGA was able to run at will through the line and into the end zone.

The secondary is actually Clemson's biggest defensive weakness... If FSU's O-line can protect the QB, then they'll want to exploit that heavily.

Again, Clemson's run defense is going to depend heavily on the offensive play calling. If Clemson can actually put together the big plays that we're used to (and loving play Deshaun Watson instead of Cole Stout) then they'll stand a better chance of keeping the D fresh.


But FSU doesn't have nearly the run game that Georgia has, so to say that they could probably just run it the whole game and be fine is pretty wrong.

If FSU loses to Clemson and runs the table with Jameis after, the committee will pretend today never happened.

They most likely wouldn't be able to win the conference though, and I really don't see the committee making exceptions for non-conference champs other than Notre Dame and anyone in the SEC.
