Clemson Game Day Thread

Plus we need to hand out the "He brought his lunchpail to work" award for this game, and I'm going to hand that award out to FB Taylor Maxey.

Go back and watch your Gurley highlight film boys, and what you will see on both offense and ST is one Taylor Maxey out road paving in front of him.

Gurley is the man and we all know it, but Maxey brought his lunchpail to work and gets this weeks
yeoman's work award.

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney told reporters that the one stat “that was the difference in the game” was average starting field position. Per Swinney, UGA’s average starting field position was its 43-yard line, while Clemson’s was its own 19-yard line.

Not going to call that sour grapes, guess Dabo is happier when he wins.

Who was responsible for the starting field position Dabo? Was mentioned on this board before the game that good SEC football teams have a history of a good punting game. Also, Special Teams backed up the kicking game quite well.

One more thingy, if as a head coach you think that was the only thing that we did better . . . . might want to check with your highly paid offensive and defensive coordinators, see if they have the same thoughts. PP on it . . . . SOUR GRAPES.

Yup. Because the way we were moving the ball, a poorer average field position would just have meant handing the ball off one or two more times.

^ ^ ^ ^ Perfect and truthful.

Dabo and his coaches did not realize that they were going to see what "could" have happened in 2013 had our health been a tad better. This also goes a long way on the recruiting trail, and we have some solid recruiters.

I was able find another item worth sharing

Coaches said that. It made a difference being able to practice in the heat it showed during

the Game that we had plenty still in the tank. Was several times we though about stopping

Practice and go indoors but we saw the benefits of pushing ahead and the players

Responded. Erk never had a indoor facility....

In high school summer camp, held in Cochran, Georgia, Bleckley County. YELLOW SALT TABLETS.

Much the same as the "Bear" coached while in Texas.

I almost overdosed on those salt tablets......had to drink water/lemon juice all afternoon between summer practices to remedy it (plus throwing them up helped... )
