Gave up 35 to Georgia last year. (And Ohio State. And 51 to Florida State.)
They'll be better this year. Plus, this is the first game (for both teams) with a new starting quarterback.
This will be Mason's 3rd start. He filled in for Murray for the OT game against Georgia Tech and last year's Gator Bowl against Nebraska. He was solid in both.
Not having Mitchell sucks but we still have vets Bennett and Conley starting at WR.
The offense is the least of my worries especially with Gurley and Marshall healthy.
Some questions in the secondary but the majority of Clemson's offense will be making their first start on the road.

Yeah. I meant it as he is the actual starting quarterback not the starter due to injury. I know he started a couple games when Murray was out.
Those 2 games were the final games of the season so he was basically taking over as starting QB in preparation for this year.
He's also not a QB making his first start with an almost entirely new offense on the road.
He's also never seen a defensive line like Clemson's. He'll be under just as much pressure as our QB, if not more. Neither QB is coming into this game with experience.

He's started in an OT win against Georgia Tech and a close loss to Nebraska in the Gator Bowl. Not sure how that isn't experience but okay.

Uhh, are either of those teams named Clemson? I Didn't Think So.

Oh, I don't doubt that Clemson will struggle more on offense. My original point was just that I don't think that UGA will put 40+ points on Clemson. 2 games (especially with one being a bowl game) is certainly game experience, but it is still a massive downgrade from the amount of experience that Murray brought to the table last year when UGA scored 35.

You're right. 2 games counts as experienced. He's definitely ready.

Who cares about Aaron Murray? They have the great Hutson Mason.
As far as our offense goes I don't believe it's going to drop off as much as people think. Also we're not as inexperienced as people think.Other than qb there is one guy on the offensive line that is playing against Uga because of suspension that hasn't played much. Everyone else that is replacing one of last year's starters has played a lot and a few of them have started.
Did I say he was Aaron Murray? No. And he doesn't need to be with a healthy Gurley and Marshall.
He's more experienced than Stoudt. Will there be some kinks? Yes. Will it be his first career start with an unproven offense in a hostile enviroment? No. Get f*cked.

You're assuming Gurley and Marshall can stay healthy. And also that Mason can make it through the game himself. He's going to be hit all night long. You have no idea if he can take it. Just saying you're being a little over confident.
We're all going to look like idiots when the final is 3-0 anyway.
I believe I picked the score right last year without saying who was going to win I had 38-35 or something close to it. I'm doing the same thing this year 28-24 without saying who is going to win.

I checked the thread. The only prediction preserved there is custeph's one where she picked the victor and score exactly.

My daughter usually wakes up around 5:45-6:00am, and usually that means I spend my saturdays watching my little pony as I drink my coffee. But not this week, as the Penn Sate-UCF game starts at the absurd hour of 8:30 AM EST. Sorry Piper, its football time.

I kept it quiet here then, I probably posted it on the Clemson board. I was more nervous about last year's game, 2 great teams too tough to call. This year I think it's 2 good teams and it's pretty tough to call again.

I caught the first half of the Hall Of Fame game a few weeks back. My older one wandered into the room during the game and asked what I was watching. When I replied that football season had started, he got this look of fear on his face and took off through the house screaming to warn his brother.

Have they changed their mind about it now that you have taken them to Neyland?

Their main issue is that football ties up the TV, so they have to find other things to do. It's a rough life.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Will there be a quiz? Because that's a lot of names with descriptions that make me snooze
No quiz. Pay no attention to the names. We will visit at least one of the restaurants, if not more. And you already know #50.
1. HOWARD’S ROCK
First mounted on a pedestal at the top of the hill in the East end zone in the 1966 season, the rock came to coach Frank Howard from Death Valley, Calif., courtesy of a Tiger fan. It became a school tradition before a game against Wake Forest when Howard told his players, “If you're going to give me 110 percent, you can rub that rock. If you're not, keep your filthy hands off it.” After that victory, the Tigers have been rubbing it ever since for good luck.
2. ESSO CLUB
You can’t fill up your car there anymore, but you can still put a Tiger in the tank. Clemson fans like to fill up on food, drinks and school spirit there before and after games. Football broadcaster Brent Musberger made the former gas station famous nationally by discussing his visits on-air whenever he came to town. It has become one of the most-renowned college-town sports bars.
6. DEATH VALLEY
Memorial Stadium might be the official name of Clemson’s home, but it’s best-known by its nickname of Death Valley, which originated with the late Presbyterian coach, Lonnie McMillan, after his teams couldn’t win there in the late 1940s. In 1974, the playing surface was named Frank Howard Field for the legendary coach, but it still provides a strong home-field advantage with the large orange-clad crowds.
10. RUNNING DOWN THE HILL
It’s been called the most exciting 25 seconds in college football. But this tradition started out more practically. The team dressed at Fike Field House and ran from there to the gate and down the grassy hill onto the field at the start of each game. Now the players must bus from the locker rooms in the opposite end zone to make their dramatic entrance.
19. MAC’S DRIVE IN
An institution since the 1950s, the local fast-food joint got its name for late owner Harold “Mac” McKeown. Filled with Clemson memorabilia on the walls, the restaurant with the old-school counter and orange stools is part of the fabric of the local community.
28. TIGER PAW
The most easily recognizable symbol of Clemson is the Tiger Paw logo, which has become one of the most well-known symbols in college sports. The late John Antonio designed the logo in 1970 while working for Henderson Advertising in Greenville, and it was an immediate sensation among Clemson staff and fans. Howard, who had recently retired as coach, was sold right away after seeing it reproduced on a helmet.
33. SARDI’S DEN
This local restaurant, opened in 1995 by Irv Harrington and Mike McHenry, has become a favorite for Clemson students, staff, and alumni, as well as visitors looking for a good place to eat. Noted for its tailgating to-go packages, Sardi’s has achieved a popularity that’s inextricably linked to its ribs made from a secret recipe.
36. THE VICTORY GRAVEYARD
The Tigers like to celebrate a victory against a ranked team on an opponent’s home field with a proper burial. As a way of memorializing these big wins, a mock cemetery complete with gravestones stands at the entrance to the Clemson practice fields behind the Jervey Athletic Center.
50. “TIGER RAG” FIGHT SONG
Student band director Dean Ross discovered the sheet music for “Tiger Rag” in an Atlanta music store in 1942 and brought it back to campus to play at football games, where it continues to be performed today. As its popularity steadily soared among Clemson fans, “the song that shakes the Southland” can be played in more than 15 ways.
