Who's at QB for Clampsum?

[beej1953]

With the coaching change, wonder if they'll stick with plans to switch to Korn, or go back to Harper.

Don't know anything about Korn, but I would tend to think a freshman QB starting his first game against our D would be a bid advantage for us.

On the other hand, Harper was only 17-39 with 0 TD's and 1 INT against us last year - He did manage to pile up 194 yards passing, but lost 37 yards on 9 carries (or sacks?).

Check out the next to last line - Picked Clemson over us and SC...Could be a motivational tool, but we shouldn't really need one.

Crap he was the #5 double-threat QB. That is not good news whatsoever.

Korn will start, according to Heather.

Backup Clemson quarterback Willy Korn will start at quarterback in place of starter Cullen Harper on Saturday against Georgia Tech, interim head coach Dabo Swinney said on Monday -- a decision he said the entire staff was in agreement with.

Korn will be CRUSHED.

He's not that good.

You know, we have a pretty good dual-threat quarterback from that class leading our offense...

Yes we sure do, but the two dual threat QBs that we faced this year (Perilloux and Taylor) seemed to be able to run on us at will. Including sacks, Taylor averaged 4.9 yds/carry and 1 TD; and Perilloux averaged 3.7 yds/carry. I am not saying we can't stop this Clemson guy, I am just saying that defensively, the dual threat QB has proven to be the one offensive weapon that we haven't been able to stop. The good news is that we don't have to worry about Spiller.

I don't think that dual-threat QBs have dominated us. Really, we gave up 14 and 20 points, both of which got an easy touchdown because of a timely fumble. We just did poorly on 3rd down against them. If we can scheme a little to fix that, then I doubt clemson gets more than 10 points on us.

I sure you're right. I am just playing devil's advocate, because I can't find any other part of Clemson that we really need to worry about at this moment.

You missed a nice pun opportunity - How 'bout "Korn will be creamed!" ? :laugher:

Aaron Kelly catching deep balls or drawing P/I calls is the only weapon that scares me since Spiller is out.

I'm also worried about special teams and turnovers, not that Clemson is great at ST or creating turnovers....but we are terrible in those 2 areas right now.
