Why do I get the feeling this game is going to wind up 70-0?:fingersx:

Glad MB has that attitude, but really the CLEMSON game is our chance to help how we are perceived. JSU game, even if we win 70-0, will be amount to a Dwyer highlight or two on ESPN and some knucklehead saying, "Paul Johnson really got the wishbone going today in Atlanta for Georgia Tech University's Bumblebees. Ryan Perriloux did not play."
 
This game is a huge confidence booster, so I do think it is necessary that we reassert ourselves even though it will be against a lesser team such as JSU.

I agree that Clemson is more important for us to make a national statement, but if memory serves me correctly, when we beat Samford 60something to something low, I remember that we climbed pretty quickly in the charts the next couple of games.

I think that if you beat the teams you should beat by a lot, even if it is glossed over by ESPN or what-have-you, that people will remember it for at least the next couple of games, and if you win those you will jump higher faster.

At least that's my story. I'm sticking to it too.
