Definitely

not getting mad. I think its hilarious really. You are entitled to believe what you will and i am as well. If you want to believe Clowney was promised the starting position, so be it, but this is major college football and Spurrier wants to win. I dont think he would start a true frosh that wasnt ready just to appease an ego. Maybe im wrong, but i doubt it. As for Malzahn, its undeniable the talent he has inheirted at each of his stops in college, sorry there is just no getting around it. Like i said , i love the offense, so its not a knock on Malzahn or even Morris for that matter. The problem with this type of offense is this, if your offense isnt moving the ball and going 3 and out or even picking up one first down and then punting, you are gonna wear your defense out. Especially against teams that can run the ball and grind clock and keep opposing defenses ont eh field. Now, if your offense is moving the ball, its gonna have the same effect on the other teams defense, obviously. Its really a doule edge sword. Once again, i like the offense, i really do, but i still think Malzahn has yet to have to really coach. His teams have put monster numbers, no doubt, but look at what he had to work with. Thats why i think Clemson could possibly struggle this season. athey dont have a Cam or Mcfadden. Do i think their offense will be better, sure. I mean hell, it cant get much worse. Do i think they will average 500 yards a game, no way. I think they will have games where they explode on some teams, but then again, they did last year. I will say this, im not sold on Boyd. Ellington is a good back and really is probably one of the top 15 or so backs in the country. I really believe that Sammy Watkins is as good as advertised and i think that Peake is good too. Not sold on Martavis, not sold on Clemson o-line and not sold on the defense this year. Too many losses on that side of the ball for it not to make an impact, especially in the secondary and the loss of Jenkins and Bowers. As for Carolina, as ive said before if Latt stays healthy and Garcia just manages the game, out offense will be good. The line will be better this year, im not saying great but improved. The d-line is going to be very good, believe what you will. Linebackers will be much much much better with the return of Wilson and Paulk and in return i think this will lead to better play in the secondary for us. I do think that a lot of the secondaries problems last year stemed from our weakness at linebacker. Our starters in the secondary will be good, its what's behind them that has me worried. No proven depth back there and with some injuries it could become a liability. I think this has the potential to be the most exciting season, as a whole, for the Palmetto state in a long time possibly ever.
