Fake hate news. Not many teams could have done what the canes did in the last 2 games.
Right I think they ran out of gas. Played 10 weeks straight and it eventually caught usStruggled with a 3 win unc team and a 4 win Syracuse and eventually lost to 5 win pitt
Where did I say it was my opinion.Ok , great topic would recommend. I have read some , none of which hold your awesome opinion. I figured this is exactly how it would be. Don't. Be a thunder **** and make an argument and don't present anything other than your own agenda. Lol stop
We also had key injuries down the stretch starting with Richards.Feels like 2017 when we had back to back miracles against FSU and GT. We limp ****ed a few more games after that but eventually hit our stride against VT, ND, and UVA
Had back to back bye’s week 2-3 (week 2 hurricane cancellation) and likely ran out of gas and it wasn’t that great of a roster. The bye week should give us more longevity if we can regroup and hit a stride at some point.
I was taught at a very crucial time in my life, when I was playing victim, that “The best revenge is success.” To our players, I’d say, just focus, play your game, let the wins follow. Win and the world’s sphincters will unclench.Pretty interesting to read the various sites. Miami is "sliding down", "not a playoff team", "bailed out", "reckless QB play". Clemson is "clearly the more complete team".
Will be interesting to see how they respond after a week off.
I heard a national analyst (Pate maybe?) compare us to themI get everyone wants to compare this team to a previous Miami team, but there isn't a good comparison and 2017 is especially bad because it's a very different dynamic at QB.
If you want a good comparison, it's 2022 TCU imo. That team had elite QB play and an explosive offense with an average defense and won a bunch of close games. And if the defense plays up to its potential, then 2023 Washington might be a comparison too.
Maybe we mirror Ohio State the year they beat Miami on a flag. We're sneaky good. The defense has the talent and I believe it will improve through the end of the season.I heard a national analyst (Pate maybe?) compare us to them
Yup, Memphis looked more dominating against the same FSU team…Clemson looked extremely average against FSU.
2022 TCU makes a ton of senseI get everyone wants to compare this team to a previous Miami team, but there isn't a good comparison and 2017 is especially bad because it's a very different dynamic at QB.

People say this and then forget that regardless of talent, matchups matter most in football. We just did not match up well against Cal and VT, nothing more nothing less. Bama, who every pundit and reporter will tell you is a Natty contender just lost to Vandy. Fact is we could have lost those two games, like Bama did, like Ten did, like ole Miss did, like USC did and like Michigan did. Great teams find a way to win those games.You can't say it isn't deserving. I expected this team to be 6-0, but not like this. We have weaknesses which we knew. Our weaknesses against this schedule shouldn't be 2 refs calls from 4-2. We shouldn't be giving up 34 and 38 points to VT and Cal. The staff is not putting this team in the best position to win in my opinion, weaknesses and all. Regardless, we are already bowl eligible. I will keep enjoying the success, but I have unexpectedly started questioning winning the ACC. That would be a complete failure with this roster and schedule. ACC Champs and a playoff berth. I never expected anything more.
We play the best schedule in the country, hands down.
Crazy how everyone is hyping Clemsons defense and they're ranked 80th and ours is 17th
Do we have issues to fix? Yes
Is Clemson the team to beat? **** no
We beat them last year with EMORY
yeah, there's a chance if we lose even 1 game we wont make it to the ACC title gameWatching the FSU game, Clemson still has a QB problem. Cade looked like the Cade from last season.
Btw everybody got Miami vs Clemson in the ACC title game. Watch out for SMU, their ACC schedule is the easiest out of the 3
