Nice interception! Let's go down and score and get this to a 1 possession game.

We look like we belong on the same field with this team. That's a win in my book based on our recent history with teams of this caliber.

yes, we definitely look better so far. still concerned about the ability to kill our own drives with penalties, mistakes, etc.

Yes, we do. And this a really good ACC team. I cannot wait to get into SBC conference play!

PLEASE CAN YOU PLEASE TACKLE SOMEBODY PLEASE! COME ON!

Too cute...after my last post I told my kid about the latest plays in the last quarter and a half and told him we needed to tell them, "Good job, guys!"...and he responded with, "GREAT job, guys!". So I tried again, and he still said "great" instead of "good". What an awesome optimistic little Mean Green Man I have! If we could all look on the bright side like he reminds me to...wow. Whether it's your own kid or one of the kids on your team, they really do remind you that things are so awesome in your life, no matter how crappy they were before. Whether we win or lose today, can we follow my little man Carter and tell the kids wearing the Green and White that they did a GREAT JOB?

Tell Carter that +1 was meant for him, not you.

Defense wearing down now ?

MootPoint: The rain on everyone's parade. I realize we aren't winning, but it's a welcome change to season openers past.

defense looking bad now; this might be the point where depth starts to take its toll

[El Paso Eagle]

We have no clue how to tackle

True, but I still think Dodge did the right thing weeding out some...well, weed-outs to work on the sportsmanship and penalty issue. I still believe that his steps were the right ones to take even if it doesn't get a "winning season" under our belt...the guy who demands that you do it the right way is still a winner to me.

Agree. We need a long drive to take the pressure off the D, or this could get ugly quickly.

[Mean Green 93-98]

Alright, let's see how the offense responds now. A 3 and out here would be devastating, but a TD makes it a bona fide game into the 4th quarter.

Me too, moot, but first game, both tes are a bit sloppy. Fact remains, THIS team probably wouldn't have list 5 games by 1 score last year. There is obvious improvement here. The depth of clemson is starting to show, but this is as good or better than I expected today...

With the time of position our defense has not been on the field that much

just looking at it from the one game perspective; compared to last year, yes, better, but i can still be disappointed at the mistakes that are currently occurring in this game.

agreed; i fully expected to be down 40 or so by now

Pretty much ball game. Nice moral victory (I freaking hate that term). Rice should be a good, competitive game judging by both schools' games today.

[meanrob]

tune has got to learn to throw the ball away.

[PerryG2480]

I will say one thing....we never come across as a well coached team. Mistakes and unforced errors all around.

little harsh don't you think. we are playing an acc division winner.

After one game, I'll say you're right as far as penalties are concerned. Still optimistic so far with the season.

[MootPoint]

nice run for tune there
