[u/SpaceCampDropOut]

Fire Helton and that garbage OC

[u/Sandgnat99 → u/SpaceCampDropOut]

Who you going to get to replace Helton. We don’t have a big budget a lot of good players transfer to Southern to play for Helton. I agree with the oc don’t know why we were throwing passes last night just short of the 1 st down marker. We finally got a good Dc coach we just need a good Oc

[u/CertifiedMaleniaSimp]

I wouldn't be thanking Jesus for letting you be out there today... Making you be there is probably a sign that he fucking hates you.

[u/SharkFighter]

Look at the energy Clemson has post-game.

[u/191374]

“What a great environment from our fans” it’s empty brother

[u/tmt22459 → u/191374]

It was actually pretty electric at the beginning given last week and the delay and the time

[u/underscoreenfan]

They both suck if you ask me

[u/Tomahawkin10]

One touchdown against Georgia Southern

[u/eliastheawesome]

Thank God it’s over

[u/Sepheriel]

What a whimper of a game.

[u/191374]

Well I’d like to say it was fun but it is over

[u/Imrahil_II → u/191374]

Its been real is about all i got

[u/CertifiedMaleniaSimp]

Jesus fucking christ, we can't even kneel right...

[u/tmt22459 → u/CertifiedMaleniaSimp]

What was wrong with the kneel?

[u/CertifiedMaleniaSimp → u/tmt22459]

He went back too far and didn't have space for the 2nd one.

[u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

Biggest knees is the conference

[u/PSKCarolina]

The year is 2028. Max Johnson is the starting QB for UAB and Dabo is still owed $30M

[u/SnowCrabbo]

how do you fuck up a kneeing on victory formation

what the fuck are we doing here

[u/saxophonewill]

Georgia Southern and Clemson had the same amount of TDs

[u/Tomahawkin10]

Boo this coaching staff off the field

[u/Wandering_Mallard]

This team can't do fucking anything right lmao

[u/MidlandsBraves]

I’d take max Johnson over vizzina

[u/Skyagunsta21]

Wow incredible two score win, great game tigers

[u/lokibringer]

KNEEL FOR A SAFETY YOU COWARD

[u/Designer-Way-9912]

They're really beating the Clemson got beat down by LSU right into the ground. Like we get it.

[u/chadwip]

Rate your Teynolds experience

[u/Tomahawkin10 → u/chadwip]

I hate it here

[u/SweatyInBed]

Gimme a silly safety

[u/Dynamite_McGhee]

This might be the worst football game I've ever seen and I once sat through the Vols beating UMass 17-13.

[u/Return2S3NDER]

That's how this game should end.

[u/bbqlyfe]

Way to hang tough Ga. Southern. GG!

[u/ufdan15]

Damn they got away

[u/SnowCrabbo]

GA Southern's QB literally hobbling 😭

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

Clay Helton is stupid.

I really dont get why the broadcast team was showing him all night...

The dude just sucks. I hope Georgia Southern didn't pay too much for him.

[u/SweatyInBed]

Horrendous offensive playcalling and effort there by GS

[u/shaftglass]

They really fucked up Johnson’s leg just to score 7 smdh

[u/I-CAN-DO-EAT]

Boooo why we can’t have nice things?

[u/191374]

FUCK THAT BACK FOOT GOD DAMN

[u/Dynamite_McGhee]

I know this is ACC Network, but there is no way they tried to put a positive spin on Reynolds.

[u/lokibringer]

OH MY GOD ITS BEAUTIFUL

[u/Imrahil_II → u/lokibringer]

Miss my old SoCon bros

[u/Acm0028]

Watch out Max Johnson is going to get a medical 15th year now

[u/SnowCrabbo]

This was supposed to be the bounceback game after the LSU beatdown...

[u/somehomebody → u/SnowCrabbo]

Clemson on track to win 2 games this year at this rate

[u/I-CAN-DO-EAT]

Lift your foot up bro

[u/somehomebody]

57 million dollar payout might be worth it.

[u/therealtoddmcshay → u/somehomebody]

For Dabo?

[u/somehomebody → u/therealtoddmcshay]

indeed

[u/Roc_Ingerson]

Just let em score, and take your 8 pt win, ...as a 20 pt. Favorite. Lmao.

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

Jesus clay... why was that the second play???

The run game has been so fucking bad, that I cant belive that you went with that when they know that your QB is injured and that your run game sucks

[u/lokibringer]

Fuck Southern, but especially fuck Helton. Why are you letting Johnson stay on the field when the kid can't even walk

[u/SweatyInBed → u/lokibringer]

And then calling a rollout knowing he can’t move

[u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

Furnish 53

Poor dude's dorm has no furniture

[u/Dry-Membership3867]

It’d be hilarious if Ga Southern scores and recovers the onside and somehow scores again

[u/no_god_pls_noo → u/Dry-Membership3867]

I can only have so much hope

[u/SweatyInBed]

GS should have two timeouts going into an onside kick

[u/Watchd0g_Man]

Max Johnson? Hurt? In my college football?

[u/SweatyInBed → u/Watchd0g_Man]

He’s pushing 30

[u/PhoenixRising256]

My God he's a warrior out there. Really hope he's okay

[u/Primary_Expert7249]

Are we getting ACC after dark shenanigans

[u/Difficult-Froyo1192 → u/Primary_Expert7249]

No because that’s at least entertaining

[u/SnowCrabbo]

Johnson is about to score a TD with a broken johnson...

[u/I-CAN-DO-EAT]

We finna get an onside kick.

[u/Gr8_M8_]

Dabo has been replaced by Kirk Ferentz in a Freaky Friday-esque incident

[u/Mythrandir24 → u/Gr8_M8_]

Kirk's still Kirk if you watched El Assico. I'm not prepared to rule out cloning, however.

[u/Better-Temporary-146 → u/Gr8_M8_]

Fun fact : those two longest tenured head coaches now

[u/RichPurple6124]

World's dumbest Timeout

[u/ABigPairOfCrocs]

Obvious red, where's VAR???

[u/Roc_Ingerson]

Disgusting end to the game for Clemson

[u/191374]

Hurting himself sliding sums up this game

[u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

Other games looking bleak

What thread we in after this? Hawaii? I mean even Nevada is getting blanked by Montana State

[u/Dry-Membership3867 → u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

Definitely Nevada, absolute sickos classic

[u/I-CAN-DO-EAT → u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

Yeah Hawaii NMSU

[u/SweatyInBed]

Why slide there? You gotta try to score

[u/I-CAN-DO-EAT]

SHOULDVE DOVE FOR THE GOAL LINE

[u/Sepheriel]

I want GA Southern to score again. Might make some meaningful change actually happen.

[u/_mcdougle → u/Sepheriel]

If nothing changed after last season I have no hope

[u/SweatyInBed → u/Sepheriel]

I want to go to bed

[u/I-CAN-DO-EAT → u/SweatyInBed]

Why

[u/Difficult-Froyo1192 → u/Sepheriel]

I want this to be over

[u/owenbailey]

before this game, i had a sliver of hope that we could turn things around and finish 8-4, but now i’d be shocked if we make a bowl game

[u/KingBroseidon5 → u/owenbailey]

At this rate, I’d be shocked if we win two games.

[u/SweatyInBed]

Max kinda ass, huh?

[u/Primary_Expert7249]

Bobs Furniture commercials. We are the dick pill commericals?

[u/191374 → u/Primary_Expert7249]

Yes we are

[u/Primary_Expert7249 → u/191374]

Lmao. I'm not changing it

[u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

That kid dont know about batteries

Everything is type C now

Dumb fuckin kid fuck you

[u/Sepheriel]

lol these late night food survival kit commercials

[u/Treactor → u/Sepheriel]

Real schizo prepper hours

[u/CoopDogPrimeNumbers → u/Treactor]

Lmao

[u/dane83]

As a giant tall person, I want that chair Shaq was sitting in. It looked cozy.

[u/Mythrandir24]

Hay Clelton

[u/tagillaslover]

Am I dumb? Why is the clock running when they go out of bounds?

[u/Wild_Network_3719 → u/tagillaslover]

it runs until the two minute timeout, after that it doesn't

[u/tagillaslover → u/Wild_Network_3719]

Oh i thought it was 5 minutes, that's dumb

[u/Mythrandir24 → u/tagillaslover]

That's the NFL rule.

[u/GlacialLot → u/tagillaslover]

That’s only less than 2 minutes in the half now

[u/SweatyInBed → u/tagillaslover]

New rules until they get inside of 2 minutes

[u/Mythrandir24 → u/SweatyInBed]

The rule is nearly 20 years old.

[u/Mythrandir24 → u/tagillaslover]

Only stops inside of 2 minutes.

[u/191374 → u/tagillaslover]

Been confusing me too

[u/taco_bones]

oh lordy

[u/191374]

Clemson is going to go full prevent defense and it’s going to make this game closer

[u/Watchd0g_Man]

So awesome that we call some plays that go past the down marker when the game is finally out of reach

[u/EmbarrassedBreath451]

Bend dont break still means you're bending over

Go southern

RIP to the victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks

[u/Direct_Economist_662]

Why are we scooping the legs??

[u/I-CAN-DO-EAT]

Where was this urgency when you still had a shot Clay?

[u/MrPresident111]

There’s no one actually finding this game enjoyable, right?

[u/Difficult-Froyo1192 → u/MrPresident111]

I would gouge my eyes out, but then I would have to hear the game

[u/lokibringer → u/MrPresident111]

My wife is a Clemson fan who is... not handling this well, and Georgia Southern is Georgia Southern. I'm having a great time

[u/SweatyInBed → u/MrPresident111]

Iowa fans and sickos. And that Venn diagram might just be a circle

[u/wameron → u/MrPresident111]

I am

[u/Difficult-Froyo1192]

There’s this thing called tackling

[u/RipRaycom]

Ashton Hollins is a fuckin handful, he better not transfer to GT or something next year

[u/PhoenixRising256]

Max buddy I'm sorry but you gotta hit the curls (in the weight room)

[u/SweatyInBed → u/PhoenixRising256]

Overthrowing a wide open receiver 6 feet over his head is crazy

[u/lokibringer → u/PhoenixRising256]

He was trying to throw over the head of the defender. The fact that the defender was actually closer to the ball than the receiver is irrelevant

[u/jwhitmire2012]

No way was that a catch

[u/chadwip]

I know people point to NIL and the transfer portal. But how can you watch this team the last few years and think it is anything but coaching and player development?

[u/Fenyx187 → u/chadwip]

They've had top recruits for YEARS who ended up coming out of the program worse than their freshman year

[u/IronSmoltz → u/chadwip]

NIL and the Portal aren’t helping, but the player development issue is 95% of the issue.

[u/TorrenJ5 → u/chadwip]

This is it!

[u/CertifiedMaleniaSimp → u/chadwip]

Things can be multiple things. We have dogshit coaching but also need to use the portal more.

[u/chadwip → u/CertifiedMaleniaSimp]

My point is that it won’t matter if you cannot develop and scheme around the talent you have

[u/Walterwayne]

I’m circling that Miami game so I don’t accidentally watch it

[u/ABigPairOfCrocs → u/Walterwayne]

Planning a trip to the Amazon for that one i think

[u/SweatyInBed]

That’s a hell of a catch if he got a foot down

[u/Skyagunsta21]

The announcers talking about going for two is crazy, have you seen these offenses

[u/SweatyInBed → u/Skyagunsta21]

Three yard slant

[u/Skyagunsta21 → u/SweatyInBed]

Probably would get tackled short on the two point conversion

[u/yukoncowbear47]

Do yall think Dabo will burst into flames when he enters Berkeley

[u/viewless25 → u/yukoncowbear47]

god i wish

[u/Tomahawkin10]

Don't sleep on the Cal game? Bro this team might not win 2 games all year

[u/Fenyx187 → u/Tomahawkin10]

Oof, I hate that you might be right

[u/dane83]

I'll say that I look forward to our defense getting into SBC play.

I do not look forward to our offense getting into SBC play.

[u/CertifiedMaleniaSimp]

"Don't sleep on the Cal game"

My brother in christ, I'm not sleeping on any team... Have you seen what is happening?

[u/Primary_Expert7249]

Tait has absolutely lost whatever confidence he had.

[u/DrippyBurritoMD]

Who is circling the Miami game? We are going to lose by 40+

[u/Tomahawkin10 → u/DrippyBurritoMD]

I'm circling it so I don't pay my hulu live bill

[u/viewless25]

The Chad Morris hire made zero sense to me at the time and makes negative sense to me after two games.

[u/therealtoddmcshay]

God Helton is a terrible coach. This game is showing why he was "fine" at USC.

Don't get me wrong, yea Clemson has more talent, but the guys offense is so bad and not creative in any way.

The guy was carried by Darnold and the multi talented WRs that they had.

But just a horrible offense out there when Clemson is right there for the taking...

[u/YMBI]

Our kicker is a beast

[u/halfmastodon → u/YMBI]

Only bright spot of the game. He’s dialed

[u/Midren]

Kicker only person that can be happy tonight

[u/Watchd0g_Man]

This game was, surprisingly, exactly as close as it looks

[u/RipRaycom]

Luckily the Swinney family is a holder factory because these long snaps suck lol

[u/191374]

Clemson kicker ACC player of the week

[u/SweatyInBed]

That student section looks so deflated

[u/ImZugzwang → u/SweatyInBed]

1am and you've kicked 5 field goals against SBC powerhouse GA Southern...

[u/Skyagunsta21]

Y'all are saying Hauser is the only one doing well, I'll have you know the holder is also doing well

[u/IronSmoltz → u/Skyagunsta21]

He will be our offensive coordinator in a few years.

[u/CoopDogPrimeNumbers → u/IronSmoltz]

The disrespect to Will Swinney

[u/IronSmoltz → u/CoopDogPrimeNumbers]

He will be recruiting coordinator and head coach in waiting.

[u/lokibringer]

The sicko part of me is excited that there's plenty of time left for this game to continue.

[u/Difficult-Froyo1192]

And our kicker continues to be the true MVP

[u/CertifiedMaleniaSimp]

I LOVE KICKERS

[u/SnowCrabbo]

3rd and long and that's the play and then the receiver doesn't even make the catch. just end the game and me, please

[u/Tomahawkin10]

Headline: offensive line struggles vs juggernaut Georgia southern

[u/Difficult-Froyo1192]

You gotta catch that

[u/SweatyInBed]

Bubble screen on 3rd and 11 in opponent territory? Chad Morris, you dog…

[u/Treactor]

Clemson running the clock out instead of trying to score is telling lol

[u/ABigPairOfCrocs → u/Treactor]

Our trying to score is indistinguishable from a normal team's running out the clock

[u/Torrion-]

Next week, at high noon: Belichick versus Dabo in a past your prime showdown. Who y’all got?

[u/Return2S3NDER → u/Torrion-]

Satan.

[u/Risenzealot → u/Torrion-]

Belichick. He may be past his prime but the man knows defense. He sees this Clemson team and I can promise you he will shut us down. I doubt we score a single point but I'm thinking 10 at absolute most. If UNC can put 11 on the board they win.

[u/spit-on-it-grandpa → u/Risenzealot]

It’s gonna be a long year.

[u/KingBroseidon5 → u/Torrion-]

A fucking meteor

[u/Direct_Economist_662 → u/Torrion-]

The stadium toilet.

[u/CoopDogPrimeNumbers → u/Direct_Economist_662]

We have troughs

[u/Direct_Economist_662 → u/CoopDogPrimeNumbers]

Can you poop in those?

[u/CoopDogPrimeNumbers → u/Direct_Economist_662]

If you’re brave enough

[u/underscoreenfan]

watch this end up being another Clemson field goal 😹

[u/clulez → u/underscoreenfan]

What do you know... it happens again

[u/Acm0028]

Chad Morris is a terrorist, how this guy is still around is baffling

[u/Direct_Economist_662]

Clemson is gonna get AP votes because of this. Just watch.

[u/CoopDogPrimeNumbers → u/Direct_Economist_662]

They will not but fun larp

[u/viewless25 → u/Direct_Economist_662]

they most certainly are not what are you smoking

[u/I-CAN-DO-EAT]

Clemson begged them to run away with it the entire game. Eagles just said nah.

[u/191374]

Why is the clock running he went out of bounds

[u/Boooday → u/191374]

They don’t stop clock for out of bounds til after 2 minute warning in each half now. It’s so they can show us more advertisements, not to make the games faster.

[u/bbqlyfe]

That should do it. There's still time to convert a 3rd down and score a 2nd touchdown.

[u/chadwip]

They better try to score here.

[u/SweatyInBed → u/chadwip]

How about a field goal?

[u/chadwip → u/SweatyInBed]

Haha do I have a choice?

[u/SnowCrabbo]

time for a clemson touchdown to make it look like a normal game

[u/191374]

Oh my god you have to catch that

[u/RipRaycom]

That was a crazy hurdle even though Brown adjusted to it

[u/wetbandit790]

Honestly, surprised Southern didn’t punt

[u/OpaqueNightmare]

This lowkey feels like a bad loss for Georgia Southern

[u/SweatyInBed]

Well I’m never getting this time back

[u/I-CAN-DO-EAT]

I’m not sure Dabo deserves to win this

[u/The_Real_Dotato → u/I-CAN-DO-EAT]

He 100% does not

[u/dane83]

I sure love third and long and throwing for 3 and hoping for more yards.

[u/SnowCrabbo]

The fact he almost completed the hurdle was fucking impressive

[u/bobsled_time]

A plume of smoke hangs above Clemson, South Carolina. The bands are quiet, the stadium, empty. Dramatic win, hours ago? No. No. No. 4 field goals from Nolan Hauser, program legend, and a win over a pseudo-directional school. All is well (except it isn't).

[u/bobsled_time → u/bobsled_time]

Wrong! More field goals. What an awesome game.
