Need to stretch the field more in the final 4 games
I guess the problem is that you really think that he seriously meant that Dabo's decision means that Narduzzi is immune from criticism rather than hyperbole to point out how completely stupid the decision was.
Like I said, I apologize for assuming that you were smarter.
Reid up the middle hasn't worked at all the past 4 games, especially on 3rd down.
Yep!!! Don’t be shy to use him if Holstein struggles early next week!!
As long as we all can agree not to give Daniel Carter any carries. I'm sick of seeing 8 to 10-yard carries.
They have some pretty rich donors that will bankroll the team going forward. They just needed access to a power conference.
Well I certainly appreciate your heartfelt apology. You’re nothing if not a gentleman.
7-1 and we still have a lot left to play for. We laid an egg, but so does just about everyone else.
At least we’ll have an active board this week with all the miserable fans, trolls and fake accounts jumping on the opportunity they’ve been waiting for for 9 weeks.
The not criticizing Narduzzi was supposed be a joke.
Even after they’ve been around for years one can still learn something watching how coaches handle in game decisions. What this showed me was that even when making a bonehead decision none of the Clemson assistants were willing to correct Dabo even when it’s obvious to every else watching the game. Even later when they scored with more than 2 minutes left and 2 timeouts he did the same thing again. I guarantee that by then he knew that he screwed it up the first time, yet he still kicked another XP. That shows me he is incredibly stubborn and didn’t want to admit he did something stupid the first time. I had been willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on his refusing to utilize the transfer portal, but what he did tonight showed me it’s his being stubborn about his way being the right way that he doesn’t use it even though it is undeniably affecting the ability of his program to compete at the highest level as it did a few years ago.
I’m of course well aware what he’s accomplished in the past, his resume stacks up against anybody’s. I’m also comfortable saying his Clemson team will never be a serious threat to win a NC again unless he admits he has to change his ways and start doing things differently.
Can’t wait to see the counter-punch of relentless positivity on the board this week.
White pants.
If I hear someone say they like them again.

Gotta love the no quit!
Good job Panthers closing this up

Well, they had better lines on both sides and better athletes where it mattered. They would beat us 10 out of 10 times no matter where the game was played.
Well that sucked…but still H2P!
The o line skirts criticism at times, but it's been something between underwhelming and bad for a while now.

Well there you go, watching the game until the end at least got us to find out when we play next week.
The offense has been bad for three consecutive games. Third down play calling is very, eh, and the results show that. Has anyone asked Duzz why Carter never gets any carries? What has happened to Hammond? How about using all three RBs? Maybe the tight ends, too. Perhaps we can stop with the stories about Bell going for a new job after this season.
I’m always around Slick. Wherever posters are throwing around mindless slapdickery to be called out, you’ll find me. Kinda like Superman with crime.
SMU was faster. We could play better and get more breaks and beat them but they are just more athletic.
Holstein will start but don't be afraid of using Nate if needed.
If we take care of business against Virginia and BC, Pitt will have three chances to get to that rare 10 win mark (including a bowl.) Anyone would have signed up for that after last year.
But conference title dreams just got into distant, unlikely scenario mode.

Holstein...yikes.
Or was it the rookie OC that everyone was sending away already because they were to rich to stay at little old Pittsburgh ?

Well 460 yards in offense but gave up 469
Too many gaffes, gave them 21 points on tos and the weird fake punt. Eli just is shaky as heck now, needs to regroup him. He cant throw a screen pass, did that weird lateral... just all outta whack now.
Need to get back to basics and slow things down for him. Need to run again, and get the run game going.

Hate to state the obvious, but he was going against the 2s and 3s in soft cover garbage time. Not a true measure. The time to put him in was after the first 3 and out of the second half, at the latest. Eli was struggling mightily all game and needed to get out of the game for a while for his own mental health.
7-1 is a great start to the season. Need to get things back on track with a win next week.
In the big picture this is true. We all would’ve signed on for this back in July
Lashley owns Narduzzi. He didn't even have to reach too bar into the bag tonight. He threw in that slipping a guy out of the backfield play he nailed us with multiple times in 2020 just for good measure tonight.
While that particular comment was rational, it's all part of an overarching narrative that is very cheerleady.
A loss hurts.
Take it in strides.
KMA is usually super cool during game threads. I respect that dude.
