Discover Orange Bowl: (12) Clemson def. (7) Ohio State, 40-35

• Midstate01

  

  We might need to score 60. Honestly this could be ugly. Im worried we don't even care to be there after losing the title chance, and add in injuries... recipe for disaster

  That's fucking swell.

  That or Pitt Brown, a lose/lose scenario.

  The coaches said Armani Reeves would take Roby's place if he is out
• Tiernan

  I've said this since the day after the MSU debacle. I grew to love the Urb but realistically he's only had to win one game in two years and he blew it with some of the most ridiculous offensive play calling ever. We were the favorites and he decided to get cutesy with the strategy rather than "run with what got you there", ill be reassessing my love for Urb after Friday night.
• Automatik

  

  While I do agree, the play calling in key situations was atrocious.
  
  But what burns my ass the most was what we knew all along....our defense sucked...terribly. Who the fuck is Conner Cook!??!
  
  Urb gets a pass from me, he's only on year two, but if we see a similar defensive performance next year...I won't be happy. I love defense and I get enraged seeing us get torched like that.
• Tiernan

  Wasn't speedy attacking shut - down defenses a hallmark of Urbie's Gators? We want that too Urb. That and run the GD piss out of a horse like Hyde, you run him until they stop you. 18 carries / game doesn't cut it - minimum of 25 - 30 with a stud like Hyde.

  What do the coaches see in Armani Reeves? I'd rather roll with Burrows or Apple. Long term, I can't see Reeves playing a real role in this team.

  Remember, Meyer is big on practice performance and apparently Reeves is a practice all star

  Not really, Urban has always like to get pressure with the front 4. When FLA beat OSU in the NCG, FLA's d-line dominated the Buckeyes.

  No shit. Reeves is too slow to cover a TE, let alone Sammy Watkins.

  How is what I said "Not really...?" Front 4 attacking defense! Athletic corners? How do you make it thru the day on your own?

  Because when someone says "attacking defense" it refers to using various blitzes and press coverage. That's not what Urban did at FLA.
• Tiernan

  That's exactly what he did with stunting big speedy DLs, especially off the edges. You might want to brush up on your coaching strategies.
• se-alum

  

  Lol...so stunting DL is an attacking defense. Apparently every team in the country runs that same defense.

  Im not exactly some genius like some coaches on the staff are supposed to be, but wouldn't it make sense to put Grant on Watkins instead of Reeves?
• Benny The Jet

  

  So did I miss it or is there still no word on Spence and why he didn't make the trip?

  The only thing they said about matchups is that they really want Roby on Watkins. I'd assume Grant being the another starter would get him if Roby is out. You know that Clemson is going to move him around a ton though.

  Meyer said there would be an update today

  Washington DC radio blowing up this morning with reports of Urbie talking to Dan Snyder.

  Hope it's of the 24 hour variety, but if it's anything like what's going on up here, it's more of a 3 day thing....damn!!!
• vball10set

  Here's a text I just received from a friend who works at OSU....just passing it along.
  

  Noah Spence Absence, according to O-Zone- Spence's GF had a baby

  If that's the case I'm sure the only issue is the logistics of getting him to Florida in time
