What it will take to beat Clemson

[johncockroach]

3 sacks by our defense

1 int by Lawrence

10-15 touches for Dak. I don't care about yards, just give him the effing ball.

4 designed runs for hilinski. Again, i don't care about yards, keep the defense honest to open up RPO's.

1 big play for Bryan and Shi each

zero turnovers by offense

Outgain them on the ground and hold Lawrence to 250 yards passing. Keep receivers in front and limit big plays in the passing game.

1 big special teams play

convert >50% of redzone trips to TD's

It's easy to look at the records and momentum and think it's absolutely unattainable, we should just game plan it brick by brick and forget the noise. Look at the minutia and details, it's not as out of reach as everyone thinks. I'm giving it a 15% chance. Gotta stop feeling sorry for ourselves and the program, this is the girl we brought with us to the dance, I'm gonna be drinking, yelling, and praying. A win would change everything.

I know the first instinct to respond to this is to poke holes in how difficult some of the above items are. I know, I get it, but it's what we need to do.

Score 24 points and we have a chance. Hold them below 28 and we have a chance. We can score 24 points on a good night against that D. We can hold them to 28 or less on their off night.

 

[JDishnell]

why do people keep thinking Dak is the magic solution? He hasn't looked that great when he's had the ball.

 

[gamecockfan04]

Defense would need 5 pick sixes and 2 fumble recoveries for td's minimum!

Clemson not showing up, literally. As in not even coming to Columbia.

 

[redrogers]

Urich needs a chance to play! Why the hell not? He’s our fastest qb...yes, faster than Dak. Injuries are not a concern since this is our last game.

Clemson not showing up, literally. As in not even coming to Columbia.

You stole my answer!

 

[JDishnell]

lots of prayers from our team chaplain. oh, wait...

 

[Snake006]

Dabo take over coaching their Offense and Defense.

 

[Tall Squirrel]

Watch the georgia game.

A massive difference, in the Cocks favor, in turnovers with at least one being a defensive score. Superior special teams play will also be a must.

Honestly though.....I doubt even that'll matter. We're in act of God territory here.

 

[gamecockfan04]

If someone switched their Ostarine to Estrogen?

 

[GCDC1959]

Score 24 points and we have a chance. Hold them below 28 and we have a chance. We can score 24 points on a good night against that D. We can hold them to 28 or less on their off night.

Did you flunk math?

By your numbers, we still lose...

Carolina - 24
Clemson - 28

Huh?

 

[92Pony]

If someone switched their Ostarine and to Estrogen?

This wins.

 

[JDishnell]

We scored 15 on App State. What in the world makes you think we can score 24 on Clemson?

 

[lawcalcock]

It will take a much better coached team to beat Clemons! Keep it simple!

 

[johncockroach]

 

[92Pony]

We scored 15 on App State. What in the world makes you think we can score 24 on Clemson?

And we scored 6 on TAMU. Goose egg here we come.

 

[Tmac069]

New staff and coach. Then it is still questionable.

 

[RashCock]

Our fans drilling them with D cell batteries during their "Victory Walk" and they haul tail back to Pickens County.

 

[Expro19]

LSU....... Just kidding Cocks 34....Tigs 28..

If you put the batteries in socks they don't bruise as easily.

Carolina - 24
Clemson - 28

Huh?

Just saying if we don't score over 24 points, no way we win. If they score over 28 points, no way we win. If we want a chance we have to score more than 24, or hold them to less than 28. Less than 28 includes #'s that are less than 24, and more than 24 includes numbers that are more than 28.

 

[johncockroach]

If someone switched their Ostarine to Estrogen?

The estrogen can dangerously transform your nipples, they turn into sharp weapons. I'd rather them be on Ostarine.

 

[gamecockblack]

Angels in the Endzone

I see what you did there

 

[Scuba_do]

At this point, I would take a narrow loss if it knocks Clemson out of the playoffs. That would be funny as 7734.

 

[NYC_Gamecock]

The only way we can defeat Clemson is if we have LSU’s offensive style, quarterback, wide receivers, and defensive personnel - period.

LOL Do you think those thugs will really do that Taunting Walk again? They call it a Victory Walk. But how do they know before the game they are going to win? All it is is being thugs and taunting fans. They should call it the Taunting Walk.

Clemson fielding an ineligible player resulting in a forfeit?

 

[vidaliagamecock]

The only way we can defeat Clemson is if we have LSU’s offensive style, quarterback, wide receivers, and defensive personnel - period.

We could probably keep most of our defense with those facts.

 

[KatFanDrew]

Tell them "the game is on Sunday, c'mon back tomorrow, we'll have pancakes in the morning for you."

Then they forfeit for not showing up.

 

[ClemsonBlozz]

It would take scoring more points than clemmy to win..

 

[criminaltracker1980]

"The Mutara Nebula"

AKA...Heavy rain like that seen in the Missouri game one year ago. It might help to negate their passing game. Of course our team would still lose, but bad weather can help alter a game plan.

Ummm wait, so our only chance to beat them is if we score 24 and hold them to 28??? I think you should check that math there chief... Beyond that- Edwards is not playing and even if we do hold them to 28, we have yet to score a TD this season when Edwards was not at least on the field... Why would anyone think we can put up one of our biggest point totals of the season vs a really solid D without the only play maker on our team suited up?

our only hope to win is if the entire clemsun offense and defense is abducted prior to the game and they have to field a team of cheerleaders with Dabo playing QB.

You obviously haven't watched that "D" this year......they're better than last years defense, be lucky to cross the 50 unless they turn it over.

 

[gcsoccer16]

LoL

 

[gamecockjosh]

If the defense shows up, the offense plays like it did in the first half against Georgia and Alabama the entire game, we win the turnover battle by at least 2, and Clemson isn’t firing on all cylinders.....we may still not win! Make no mistake, the aforementioned must happen to have a chance....but even then it’s going to take a miracle.

 

[Gradstudent]

Trevor Lawrence needs to exit the game early with a injury or ejection is the scenario

Since I dont wish injury, I think he needs to throw a pick and make the tackle and get called for targeting and ejected. We win under this scenario

As is I dont see us scoring much and we cant stop the deep pass with Ibe back there, this is how I see us winning

Already explained the logic of the 24 & 28 points in an earlier post. If you can't figure it out may God have mercy on your soul.

I didn't know Edwards was listed as doubtful until after I posted this.

I am not predicting that we are going to win or score 24 points. These are keys to victory. That is why the title of the thread is "what it will take to beat clemson" not "I believe we will win because we will score 24 points and Clemson will score 28 points and Bryan Edwards will magically score a touchdown sitting on the bench in street clothes and the laws of logic and physics will reverse and 28 will become less than 24". I thought about using that title but I knew smart people on this board would hold me accountable.

So the team with the most points in the end wins? Is that what your saying. So you’re telling me we have a chance! We landed on the moon!
