I think we need to concentrate on building a team that can win the east and get into the SECCG. If we do that, victories over Clemson will come.
I do not obsess over Clemson. Once their coaching staff starts to disperse (and it will) then they will start to slip. Dabo does not strike me as an obsessive workaholic like Saban. He will get complacent and start wanting to enjoy his mansion. Our day will come again.
Edit to add: We are 8-4 with a New Years bowl in Florida. A really good season by USC historical standards. Some of you guys are letting Clemson take away your enjoyment of a good season. Personally, I refuse to let my happiness be dictated by those orange hillbillies. YMMV
