OK, I'll tell them. I'm pretty tight with them. You sound like you're pretty tight with the South Carolina team, as you're pretty in tune with the level at which they'll be bringing "it".
We are going to beat Clemson

- Start date
Metaphorically, it need not be confined to the classically understood meaning. Even using the classical meaning, the people doing the ambushing and the people being ambushed can be either good or bad.
Hey dufuss, we beat you 5 years in a row while Dumbo was there.
King I can read man...lol. Ambush is catching some else off guard I know the meaning of "ambush"."A surprise attack by people lying in wait in a concealed position" No team gets ambushed they have the same week to prepare as the other team. It's not like they didn't know they had a game. It's preparation and a bigger want to win not jumping out from behind a bush and saying BOO.
I will agree that we most likely lose to Clemson again this year. They have more experienced talent.To say we won't win while Dabo is there is crazy. USC beat Dabo 5 times in a row. Clemson is riding high now but the worm always turns....and it will turn again
People attacking from ambush simply open fire. They don't shout "Boo". UPC got ambushed by an inferior team by reason of their assumption that they themselves were superior. The term "ambush" is frequently used as a metaphor to describe sports upsets, of which this surely was one. There was never a more apt situation in which to use the term as a metaphor. That UPC was away from home in hostile territory only strengthens the usage.
This year Clempson isn't that much better than us; if even better at all.
Most logical post in this thread. I will echo these sentiments, but hope I’m wrong.
I see this being a very emotional game for the gamecocks because of what happened last year. I believe we will come out giving all we got in the first half. The key to beating Clemson is holding them to field goals. Also the key to beating Clemson is pressure Bryant. He is a very talented runner but if we give him space and time it will be a long night. I believe we will need to pressure Bryant and not be afraid to take risks such as throwing down the field. Overall I would say South Carolina is very capable of winning this game at home and I believe we will get it done 24-20 Cocks
Let’s hope it doesn’t come down to us needing to make a field goal to win.
Does their kicker has issues with field goal accuracy? I thought he missed a few against Syracuse.
Some truth to this (though I'm not suggesting an actual penalty). We are just the 1st in 4 games that Clemson has to win and Kelly Bryant is injury prone. We need to discourage him from running. Or least encourage him to slide and not make big plays with his legs. Florida's QB tried to be a hero last Saturday and they lost him for the game.
Lost their starting kicker to a torn ACL and are 50% on the year. I can’t give exact figures but my Tiger friends say anything over 40 yards is a prayer. Sounds very similar to our situation
When we are healthy we are unquestionably better. By miles. We are not healthy and in the worst possible place against you: the secondary. Two of our top four CBs have been out most of the year and a third got a concussion Saturday. If we don't generate a pass rush like we saw against Auburn we are in trouble.
And you think Cocks are healthy?? Lost the most dynamic player on the Team, Possible could have been the most dynamic player in SEC, Lost one of our best Defensive players, The OL has been a Roulette wheel, No team is healthy right now..
No
Not what I said. I said we are most unhealthy at the worst spot for us against you. You throw the ball well. You've had receivers step up in Samuel's absence. We are down to playing a WR both ways - and at CB no less - to have warm bodies in the secondary. If we were playing GT that'd be fine. It's not good against you.
Hope you're right. We do have a lot of talent at WR, but lately the scout team nose guard could defend our receivers the way Jake has been throwing.
yes
which brings up my point if we can hold them to field goals our chances are better
We don't want a FG battle. We'll both leave depressed and possibly tied nil-nil.
Oh yeah, Cocks # RB at the time.. didnt they lose a TE too??
Don't forget Dowdle.
Bentley's a little 6'4" 225 lb feller. We're the same height but my feller's got a 39-year head start in beer consumption.
pretty much...I think we saw what UGA is actually made of last weekend
Lackadaisical effort? Dabo said it was one of the best games Watson played all year. No interceptions, he rushed for over a hundred yards. You guys intercepted a pass at your 4 yard line that eliminated sure points. Add to that you scored a touchdown from 30 yards out the play after Artavis Scott fumbles and the ACC refs overturned the call. You need to get in politics, that convoluted logic to try to turn the final margin back into a 12 point deficit is classic.
well it is the same "convoluted logic" SC fans used about CU v. Bama in the 2016 CFP title game...that CU actually lost by more than 4 pts because they scored a TD in the final seconds to make the game look closer than it appeared.
