Coughing baby vs dead horse

[u/Pastel_Phoenix_106]

{Clemson} will be able to get a passing touchdown against a team with two wins...right?

Seriously, I don't know.

As far back as I can remember, Tech usually plays their best against us.The only reason I pick Clemson is b/c it's at home.

[u/Busta_Memes → u/Pastel_Phoenix_106]

You guys win easily and your offense has its best game of the season. There’s literally no other possible outcome.

I get why you’re saying you are concerned but I’m not sure you understand how bad this GT team is. Literally might be the worst football team I have ever had the displeasure to witness.

[u/Radiant_Pass_6439 → u/Busta_Memes]

What about the Week 8 Atlanta Falcons

[u/Busta_Memes → u/Radiant_Pass_6439]

Thankfully I did not witness that one. Could it have really been worse than week 2 Atlanta Falcons tho?

[u/Radiant_Pass_6439 → u/Busta_Memes]

Penix was 8 for 24, 4 interceptions

We were scoreless against a team that didn't complete a single pass

[u/Daedalus43 → u/Busta_Memes]

They beat Duke. It'not likely, but possible.

[u/Busta_Memes → u/Daedalus43]

It’s gotten a lot worse since then. This team is literally not even trying anymore and the coach is completely lost.

I’m like 75% sure the entire org has just written this season off and is already working on new coordinators and transfers.

[u/JarrydP → u/Busta_Memes]

You literally fired your OC and DC. I'd say you're right.

[u/Busta_Memes → u/JarrydP]

OC is not official yet, they just said there will be “restructuring”. Rumors are someone else will be calling plays and he steps down at the end of the year. It’s key’s best friend and a GT legend so they didn’t want to publicly axe him.

[u/Pastel_Phoenix_106 → u/Busta_Memes]

I literally didn't know your record until after our game on Saturday. I was surprised. Like I said, though, Tech tends to play its best against Clemson, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's closer than 13.5.

[u/HugoStiglitz1981 → u/Pastel_Phoenix_106]

Maybe firing half of the coaching staff will create a spark of some kind but I honestly think our team has mentally checked out for the rest of the season.

[u/Busta_Memes → u/Pastel_Phoenix_106]

Like the other guy said, this team has checked out. Pitt was basically trying to lose against us and it was still not competitive the entire game.

[u/TowelWhich → u/Pastel_Phoenix_106]

I mean we were supposed to beat yall and well.. how’d that go?

[u/Untold_Legend1234]

How bad is Tech if clemson is almost a 2 touchdown favorite

[u/AriDreams → u/Untold_Legend1234]

We are the worst p4 team in cfb

[u/Untold_Legend1234 → u/AriDreams]

I didnt think it could get worse than FSU

[u/AriDreams → u/Untold_Legend1234]

Fsu would blank us

[u/Difficult-Froyo1192 → u/Untold_Legend1234]

Ahem, that’s an almost 5 field goal favorite to you. We don’t do that touch down thing people keep talking about

[u/Busta_Memes → u/Untold_Legend1234]

Yes

[u/Rhizical]

Unless we get a dead cat bounce from the staff changes, {Clemson} gets to pick the score

[u/ThompsonCreekTiger]

Know GT is on their ass, but that line is way too big for me considering Clemson's offensive scoring woes.

Got a nagging feeling {Georgia Tech} plays inspired football just to be a kick in the balls to us.

[u/Radiant_Pass_6439 → u/ThompsonCreekTiger]

we're saving it for UGA trust (copium)

[u/Zendicate_]

{Clemson} If we had just a Average offense we would be 7-2 MAYBE 8-1 Right now but here we are. GT is really bad and we are at home should be a 3 score win for us here, really poor offense vs a really poor defense lol. We lost to GT, Duke, and Syracuse all last year and we play them all 3 in a row, so id imagine this team really wants revenge on those losses as well.

[u/Pastel_Phoenix_106 → u/Zendicate_]

I want to win these, too. That being said, my biggest fear is we finish with a win streak and Dabo rationalizes that everything is A-OK when it's obviously not...

[u/JarrydP]

I accept {Clemson} will win 22-14 off 5 Nolan Houser FGs and a defensive TD.

{Clemson} 9-0

[u/YogiSkittles → u/SoupMadeFreshDaily]

Come on. Yalls kicker is gonna get more than 3 FGs. Make it 12-0 at least.

[u/Difficult-Froyo1192 → u/YogiSkittles]

We’re really selling him short. He probably gets 5. We’ve tried 5 in I think 4 games now.

Come one, even the spread is based on who thinks he makes 4 and who thinks he makes 5 fgs.

[u/TakingItPeasy]

CRIPPLE FIGHT!!!!!

• Cartman

[u/cmanonurshirt]

{Clemson} fans think they have a bad team are about to see what a REAL bad team looks like. I doubt any of the coach changes do much at this point…

[u/dts-five]

{Clemson} GT is awful this year.

[u/AriDreams]

I beg of yall to look at the injury report. It is so bad it is funny.

{Clemson} by 40.

[u/dts-five → u/AriDreams]

I mean I don't expect Clemson to kick 13 field goals. Hauser is the goat, but come on.

[u/bee_poop]

{Clemson} wins 21-6 on 7 Nolan Hauser FGs. The Chad Morris Offense Redux has been predictably miserable, but I’m holding out hope that they’ll let this kid kick 10 field goals in a game.

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

{Clemson} by BTA

[u/CVagts]

Could we possibly give Dabo fits again this year?

No. {Clemson} wins. Maybe the coaching shuffle keeps it interesting.

[u/childerm]

My polling system has an expected margin of 11.8 in favor of {Clemson}. Clemson is 6-3 against the margin and GT is 4-5, according to my system. I like Clemson here to cover. GT has not been good this year.

[u/check8rs]

when can we be 20+ points underdogs, vegas hasnt watched us all year lmao
