    Clemson is in my family's genes. Gumps are in my family's stools. Great Night. But it could have been better! Geaux Tigers!

    Wow. Dellenger's twitter said that we gave up the fewest TD's in the FBS this year. That's pretty good, Aranda.

    No doubt, their D didn't get the job done. However, with sardrunkian at the helm, they weren't able to sustain drives (a sark hallmark) in order to keep Clemson and Watson off the field. 10 punts? Tough to win on that stat.

    Which is why Helton still pisses me off for "loyalty" to Max Browne. With Darnold as the starter, we had just 1 loss the rest of the season. I still think we would have lost to Bama but it wouldn't have been the ass raping it was.

    Not too different than Kiffy vs a legit D.

    I didn't notice that, they ranked us ahead of Florida?

    UF was one spot behind us...Tenn and Auburn were further down the poll.

    I appreciate that....I still think it's a little high. Penn St at 7 behind Washington, Ahia St, and Oklahoma doesn't make complete sense to me.
