Clemson offense vs. Miami defense: Miami
Clemson defense vs. Miami offense: Clemson
Special teams: Clemson
Intangibles: Miami
Our Panel of Panelists Says:
Chili: TCU showed how to counter our defense when they’re playing near their best. I expect that Miami may well utilize some QB designed scrambles to mimic the option read that TCU’s QB utilized so well against our defense. Sure it’s a risk to have Jacory Harris running around with our defensive beasts looking to take his head off, but I think it’s a risk UM is willing to take. Our offense seemed to show some signs of life against Wake Forest, but I think Miami’s speed will probably bring the Tigers back down to earth. Dammit I would love for Clemson to pull off the upset, but I just don’t see it happening.
Maimi 24, Clemson 17
Willy Mac: After last weekend’s unbelievable showing from the offense I believe the buzz has had enough time to wear off. The defense will hold up their end of the bargain for as long as they can but a team has to be working together perfectly as a unit, something I still don’t think we’re doing right now. Blowing up Wake Forest like that was awesome and it felt good but don’t be so quick to put your orange shades on just quite yet. Who knows, we might get a few things to go our way. All in all, we don’t have a complete package to beat Miami.
Miami 34, Clemson 24

Dammit, I would love for us to pull this one out but I just don’t see it happening. That Maryland game very well may haunt us for the rest of the year. I don’t think we have enough speed to outrun Miami. I guess the one plus we have is that they have played two weaker teams in the past two weeks so they may be a little out of the groove they were in earlier but who knows. Canes 28-10.

Who is Miami’s backup QB? Didn’t they have 2 of their back up qb’s leave school earlier this year or I may be having another flashback.

@1 I think we can pull out!

I don’t see Miami scoring more than 24 points. If TCU is being held up as the team who cracked the code, they only scored 14 on the defense. MIA: 21, CU: 14. Clemson covers.

I say CJ scores 2 touchdowns on his own, since he’s playing in front of his dad for the first time EVER, Chancellor will probably play out of his mind, we have the potential for some serious mojo going into this game

Aww, hell. I’m going to go against the grain on this one: Clemson 28, Miami 13.

@8 I don’t really care how you feel about me, this is a blog for Clemson Sports. When ever I’m positive I get shit on, when ever I just say something slightly not with the grain or about anything besides football, baseball, or basketball, I get shit on. Either way you’re all gonna be bastards.
But at least we can all agree that Clemson Football is the greatest and that hopefully Danny Ford’s spirit will rise up and lead the Tigers to victory and an ACC title….FOOTBALL!

@8, I don’t think this is EdBo anymore. I think this is Chili pulling our collective legs.
@10, Amen, brother.
I’m gonna be the homer of all homers and predict a Clemson win. I think the team is fired up and will go into the Orange Bowl ready to play. The game I dread is FSU 11/7. After Coastal Carolina the week before, that game could be the one that really sours the Kool-Aid. Again.

Willy Mac and Chili, the line is the Vegasinsider.com line, correct? Just checking, because I don’t buy into that one. Seems every other line given is less and I’m thinking less than 7.5. I’m gonna say Clemson covers the 7.5…and I’ll say my hopeful prediction is a Clemson win 27-24, but if I were betting, I’d say Miami 27-24.

@14 You got it, EdBo. I bet you can’t beat my record with Busch Light, though. Thirty-four in a 12 hour period. My roommate at the time drank thirty-five and ended up eating rocks on a dare. Ah, memories…

A bunch of guys at the Nuway were telling me the line was down to 4 points tonight. I took their four points and intend to take their money sayerdey after we beat the ‘Canes by 10.
Mark. It. Down.
19Daniel
on Oct 23, 2009 at 8:05 am:
I’d love to see us win this one but I just don’t see it happening. I’m gonna say ‘Canes 28-10 in a rough offensive day for the Tigers. Only score will be on a 65-yard run, catch or return by Spiller.
20Daniel
on Oct 23, 2009 at 8:11 am:
@ 3: Yeah, we CAN win, I agree there, and that’s the frustrating part. We can win every game on our schedule; it’d be different if we were Duke or Vanderbilt and we just knew we didn’t have the athletes to compete but we might win. I am just reluctant to believe it will happen; as Bernie Mac said in Kings of Comedy “I believe shit when shit happens”.
21AParker
on Oct 23, 2009 at 9:34 am:
I just want to be able to watch the game, and hopefully see our team win. I like Dabo, and have the utmost confidence that he can lead this team. As long as Spiller hits the holes (yes I agree with Tom on this (does this mean I get a temp ban from the site? (Fuck))), Steele keeps the defense in lock down mode, and we get a couple breaks I think this could swing in our favor.

They ain’t hurt, they’ve been reading this blog and fear the Deliverance caravan that Chris is heading up along with the way-the-fuck-overdue revenge session for 2005. Except for the guy with the jaw injury, he was looking forward to it and actually wants to play.

Had to join in and whoop it up! Great win for the Tigers, but WTH was Swinney thinking on that last drive? Honestly, we should have stomped all over Miami, but the team kept making stupid mistakes. Hey, a win is still a win.
You guys should check out Tardnet. The Tards are raging and already have the Tigers in the ACCCG!

I predict a sloppy defensive performance by both teams, ending with a nailbiting last minute win made possible by an inspired Tiger D when it counts. Spiller won’t have a great day rushing, but he’ll do everything else. Parker will make some rookie mistakes, but he’ll come through in the end. Jacoby Ford will seem strangely absent over the course of the game, but like Parker, I think he’ll shine in the clutch. Lots of speed in this game. Lots of big plays.
Clemson 40, Miami 37 OT
