Predictions for Clemson

panther2141
Things have gotten a little bleak at the moment but they are still 7-2, which is great and have a shot to beat a top 20 team at home this weekend!

Unfortunately I don't think this weekend goes too well. It seems Eli won't play, so that leaves Yarnell to try to survive behind this really bad OL. I think the offense is really going to struggle, passing will be a struggle ans we won't be able to run the ball at all. I just think Clemson's DL will dominate this game. I could see Yarnell getting sacked 8ish times and throwing an INT or two.

I think our defense will fight for a while but eventually the dam will break and Clemson will start to move the ball somewhat easily.

I do think Pitt may keep it close for about a half, mainly because of the defense but then Clemson will pull away in the 2nd half.

It is really smart. Bring in three rent-a-wins. They will get an extra home game every year, and with the attendance they get, that's money going to their pocket. And even if you have an off game (a la Bowling Green this year), you are still in all likelihood going to get a W no matter how poorly you play that week.

I wonder with TV ruling the game moving forward, if OOC scheduling will be taken out of the hands of individual schools at some point. The networks will want to maximize marquee matchups.

I think they need to bulk up for the week-to-week grind, not necessarily for specific opponents. The SEC and the Big Ten play a much more physical brand of football, week in and week out, than the PAC did or the ACC does. There's only so many talented really big guys out there, and those conferences get most of them. Teams just get worn down. Even teams like Nebraska and Iowa and Wisconsin have really big lines. If you ever played football as high up as high school, you know that there are times in the 4th quarter when you've just had enough. These smaller teams are having an entire season of "enough".

Dude, this isn't some kind of rocket-science discovery by me. Except for Oregon, which had the money and the framework to attack the portal and recruit 5-stars at will, the other 3 teams are all feeling it by now. I don't know that Stanford and Cal feel similarly beat up.

UW is obviously rebuilding after their run last year, it's true.

Here's an article talking about the need for the former PAC teams to bulk up.

LearnLater.com

USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington are bulking up their players to compete physically in the Big Ten after moving from the Pac-12. Their adjustments highlight differing size philosophies between the conferences.

Question for you:

Do you honestly think those teams need to bulk up to compete with:

Maryland
Rutgers
Indiana
Purdue
Michigan State
NW
Illinois
Iowa
Wisconsin
Minnesota
Nebraska

Or do they just need to bulk up to compete with, you know, the really good programs (PSU, OSU, Mich)?
