I like what Tommy had to say...

Totally different from what would have been said in past years. He has really made changes to how he approaches thing. He sounds like a coach who wants to find ways to win games this year instead of finding excuses for poor play and losses:

CLEMSON - When Tommy Bowden finally got a chance to review the full game film from Monday night's win over Florida State, he came away with mixed emotions.


Bowden was very happy with the overall play of his defense. He couldn't say the same about the offense.


The inability to "Finish The Job" - the slogan by which the team has been operating throughout fall camp - irritated the Clemson mentor. Ahead 24-3 at the half, the Tigers couldn't muster any points over the final two quarters and held on for a six-point victory.


"One score and we could have put the game away," he said following Wednesday's practice. "But we just couldn't find a way to get it done."


And it was mistakes that caused the problem moreso than an inability to execute.


A pair of holding penalties negated significant gains that could have led to promising drives.


And at least once a wide receiver - in this case Aaron Kelly - wasn't on the same page as quarterback Cullen Harper; Kelly wasn't looking for the ball on a beautifully thrown pass by Harper that could very well have gone for a touchdown.
