clemson player quotes about our offense. WOW.

I meant really crappy compared to teams in 1A, not relevant to other 1AA teams. I think if we came out like we did Saturday against a team like Memphis(who we should be able to beat handily), we would have been in a dog fight. As others have said, if we come out like that against Clemson, we won't be in a dogfight, we'll be losing. And if we need benign quotes like what this Clemson guy said to pump us up, that wouldn't bode well for the rest of the season.

Dude we were up 31-7 at the half we were never in jeopardy of loosing this game and we would not have lost to memphis. Damn it was the first game and we looked good at points and crappy at points basically it was a typical first game.
 
What is all this crap about how we have to play perfectly to win? Clemson won by about the same amount and I doubt MTSU is all that much better than JSU (and I know they are different divisions...blah blah blah). Clemson has at least as much to fix as we do. They haven't exactly been a big game team lately either.

Our guys may not have to play perfectly to win but that is what CPJ wants every single game regardless of the opponent.

I agree with that philosophy.

You never want to rely on your opponent to make a mistake or play poorly in order for you to win. You need to go out and seize it yourself.

JSU would probably be about average if they were a FBS team IMO. They aren't bad and have some very good athletes at a few spots.
 
bit of history:
When Georgia southern was looking for a coach in 1996, the AD wanted kevin Steele. Erk wanted PJ.
And the rest, as they say, is history.

Eventually maybe, as they got to recruit players who wanted to play in FBS. As of now they're 3-12 against FBS teams, last winning in 2001. I doubt there's any FCS team that would be average in FBS as currently constituted.

Having ~75% of the number of scholarships can have that effect.

This is on Rivals but oh well.

Deandre Mcdaniel had some things to say about the option

"you do your job and keep them from cutting you and stay in your gap, you can shut them down"

Mcdaniel hinted they may use the same LSU gameplan.

"LSU DL was holding its ground at the line instead of penetrating" "I think our DL is good enough to do the same"

When asked if GT could run for 400 yards against Clemson
"No offense, but I think were a lot better defense this year" " they didn't run for that last year" " I don't ever see 400 yards being put on us by rushing"

Next he said

"Coach Steele has the D well schooled on how to attack an offense that's going for you knees the whole game"

To close it up he had an epic quote
"its pretty simple, if everybody does their job the offense is not going anywhere"

Wow.

maybe we should just forfeit?
 
Ok, so I've read through 3+ pages and noone has posted about how Clemson shut down our offense last year (without looking it up, I'd say our yardage output was the lowest against Clemson last year, maybe BC, but both handled us pretty well). Why wouldn't they feel like they could do it again?

From last season: GT CU

RUSHES-YARDS (NET)............ 52-207 24-51
PASSING YDS (NET)............. 91 198
Passes Att-Comp-Int........... 12-5-0 32-19-4
TOTAL OFFENSE PLAYS-YARDS..... 64-298 56-249

If you look further down the box score, CU had 4 kickoff returns for 114 yards.

CU's d-line is very good. Not making excuses, but this was Josh's first game back from the hamstring injury as well.

We got a tough road win last season.

Keep CU from going crazy in special teams and I like our chances to win this one.
 
So, who does Clemson return? Does anybody have some good analysis for this game? I do know Clemson was the worst game for our OL last year and they seem like a much improved unit this year.
 
How many teams kept us under 300 last year? Two? If I'm not mistaken, we even put up around 400 or more against UNC and VT.

We won the Clemson game because they kept throwing it to our Dbacks (one returned for a score). My only point is Clemson (their D anyway) should feel confident because they've already experienced it on the field.
 
Clemson had a better "blueprint" to stop us last year than LSU did, and Clemson only really had 3 days to prepare given their coaching transition.

I am very worried about Clemson, especially if we put the ball on the mat 3+ times like we did vs Jax State. This is a very, very losable game.

Special teams could decide this one. Which guy will make his mark?
