guess my old thread will not reappear :142lmao: ...will post again :rolleyes:

last week: 2-8 -6.33

YTD: YTD: 46-56-1 (-10.95)

been a pretty strange season for me...will have a winning week, then a bad week the following week ...if that holds true to form again, then this weekend should be a winning week :142lmao:

what even makes it tougher for me is that I really, really like the Pack this weekend....gonna make it the biggest play of the year so far me :sadwave:

was reading on gopack about the recent rebounding of the Pack after a loss this year....won by 1 at VT and by 10 at Maryland...since the loss last weekend to the Canes, will hope that they Pack realizes that their post-season could be in jeopardy without a strong finish to this year...

another thing that worries me is the line...opened up at 3 and went down to 1 ....Clemson had a quality win this past weekend against Maryland, but i saw how they had to come back to win that game...they have had a disappointing season and have not fared well against good defenses...Death Valley is not a easy to place to play by any means....

Clemson is 1-6 ATS this year...3-1 SU at home
Pack is 2-4 ATS this year....2-1 SU on the road

There were numerous injuries this past weekend:
"tackle Derek Morris and center Leroy Harris joined the injury parade when they left the field in the second half. Although he did return after sustaining a shoulder injury, Harris' status for next weekend's 12 noon game at Clemson may not be known until Monday. Morris, meanwhile, could be sidelined by a severe high ankle sprain."

The Pack moved to the #2 Defense in the Nation after last weekend's game against the high octane Canes

The key reason i like this game a lot is that the Pack has many issues to solve:

1) Keeping turnovers down to a minimum
2) Establishing a better pass attack
3) Getting Davis more confident behind his hirt O-Line
4) Working on being better on Special Teams

Maybe these were factors that were exposed last weekend against one of the best teams in the nation, but if they want to be talked about in the same sentences as Miami and FSU, then they will have to get solid and get there fast...

Pack has 4 games left...they need to win 3 out of 4 of them...at this moment, the FSU game should be won by the Noles....this game this weekend will be the last real "road" game....they should win at home against GT next weekend and then play the last game of the year in Charlotte against ECU....so getting those 3 wins is a possibility, but it has to happen this weekend

Amato is a great motivator and I expect nothing less than a strong outing this weekend....i expect TA to "go crazy" this weekend and really pile on the yards

will update injury list on thursday
this is all i have right now:

great write up, anil .. i like the pack--that opening KO took a lotta wind but NCST came back, Mac's cough into end zone was the blow they couldnt recover from ... Clemson lucked out beating WF in the Harper Valley PTA ... dont sweat the line move, pub gets crushed when it moves +3 and maybe it will go there ...

take care

Offensively, Clemson is still searching for consistency. Whitehurst, a redshirt junior (6-4, 225) is third in the ACC in passing (194 ypg.), but he's thrown a league-leading 13 interceptions. Plus, the Tigers have allowed 17 sacks and are dead last in rushing (99 ypg.).

Like NC State, the Tigers have not been able to force many turnovers (6) and have been outscored 35-0 this season in points off turnovers.

Clemson has one of the best kicking games in the ACC and has scored 28 points off special teams this year. The Tigers lead the ACC in kickoff returns (30.2 ypr.) and are No. 2 in punt returns (13.6 ypr.).

Justin Miller's 33.9 yard kick return average leads the ACC and his 15.2 yards per punt return is No. 2 in the league. Miller has returned two kickoffs for touchdowns this season against Florida State and recorded a 69-yard punt return for a TD versus Wake Forest.

Clemson has blocked three kicks this season and its punt coverage has been very good. Against Maryland, the Tigers held Steve Suter, the ACC's career punt return leader, to three yards or less on four of his six returns.


Perhaps nothing has hurt the Tigers offense more than turnovers. Clemson is last in the ACC in turnover margin (-11) and has given up the football 17 times in 7 games. Just ahead of Clemson in the turnover department is NC State (-10).




NOTES: The Tigers current two-game winning streak followed a four-game losing slide. NC State has won the last two meetings with Clemson. The Tigers offensive coordinator is former Wolfpack head coach Mike O'Cain. NC State defensive coordinator Reggie Herring spent eight seasons at Clemson. Justin Miller needs 104 kickoff return yards to become Clemson's career leader. The Wolfpack is No. 2 nationally in total defense (234 ypg.) and pass defense (121 ypg.). NC State is seeking its third ACC road win of the season.

INJURIES--NC State: C Jed Paulsen-Out, ankle surgery; OT Merci Falaise-Out, knee; OT Derek Morris-Out, high ankle sprain; CB Dovonte Edwards-Probable, quad bruise; C/OG Leroy Harris-Questionable, shoulder sprain; QB Marcus Stone-Doubtful, knee sprain. Clemson:LB Eric Sampson-Out, broken jaw; WR Chansi Stuckey-Doubtful, ankle; LB Anthony Waters-Questionable, knee sprain; DT Chris McDuffie-Questionable, thigh bruise
