Was extremely evident last night. Don't think I recall a Clemson team that looked that stellar versus GT ever.
 
It was obvious after the first few series how this was going to play out. We got manhandled.

Pretty much agree with this. Although @Clemson in both 2013 and 2015 there was, to me, a pretty evident differential in talent, GT was able to put some points on the board -thanks primarily to Godhigh in 2013 and JT5 last year.
 
Eh. Louisville hasn't out recruited us by that much and they're going to pound town on Clemson next week.
 
They are the top 5 team in the country. We are unranked still. That is by far the toughest opponent on our schedule and it showed.

I think we will be fine. Gotta beat Miami.
 
Need WR's who can execute the comeback route. That is what beat Clem in 2014.

JT5 needs to step up into the pocket. We were shaky, but the pocket was there. Dropping back to far cost him time and yardage on sacks.

And CPJ calling rollouts when the OLB was firing straight up the field most of the game was dumb. We just rolled JT5 into the defender.
 
We have no pass rush which allowed Watson to sit comfortable in the pocket. It was pitch and catch. Most of their incomplete passes were off hands or poorly thrown, not defended. Our pass plays look like a heave and a prayer. We need to just face the fact that we are mediocre. Our talent is bottom third of the league, especially on the OL and DL. There were several plays where our offensive lineman just plain missed the guy defensive tackle right in front of him. Of course, early on, those defensive tackles were just bulling their way to the backfield.

I fear what Kayaa will do to us next week. He is a better pocket passer than Watson. May be a replay of Miami 2004.

CPJ has a weak defense which somehow made him believe in this year's offense. We may be worse this year. We don't have Laskey and Days back there. No one close.

Hard to ask a QB as short as JT to step up in the pocket. We roll him out or drop him deep to throw because he needs that space to see over the line.

Hamilton did it all the time. Our passes aren't over the middle, pretty much everything is downfield and towards the sideline. Retreating backwards and throwing off your back foot kills the passing game it's a habit he has had side day 1 and the coaches have never corrected it.

No the protection isn't always good, but running backwards for a larger sack or sure incompletion doesn't make things better.
 
Last night was just like when your opponent calls the correct play in Tecmo Bowl...63 times in a row.
