Carolina..

First off both our teams won and its very obvious Scar has a good team.

Well the worst case scenario happened and if you have lived Clemson and Scar football you should have expected it. Connor Shaw came out looking exactly like he was, a QB who has not started a football game. He was indecisive and inconsistent, bad passes and his OL nor Lattimore (with the fumble) did not help him much. So he resorted to running and inevitably he turned the ball over. Thats what inexperienced QBs do, they make bad decisions and turn the ball over. He showed everyone that this is not just an Alsho Jeffrey and Marcus Lattimore show, Steven Garcia is very much a critical part of this offense. Even in the past when he does not play well you usually lose, this year will be no different.

If this is going to be a special year for Scar and I think it will, Steve Garcia is going to have to keep his head in the game all year. Period.

But anyways, a couple of turnovers, stops and guess what? ECU got some confidence and believed they could beat you. Started playing like took advantage and stayed in the game for a long time. If fact they had critical turnovers in the third quarter and pretty much took themselves out of the game. I don't think they would have won, but I think it would have been close up until the end. Ruffin Mcneil (however you spell it) deserves credit for that. Save the silly turnovers they played a heck of a game. Lincoln Riley I had heard was a great offensive mind and I believe it now. They have earned consideration when conference expansion talk happens.

Defensively what happened. Simple, of course turnovers, that always hurts. But you can't blame the whole thing on that. I really just think Scar does not match up well with this type of offense. Arkansas for example, unfortunately its not going to be the last time you see it either.

But again we both won in decisive fashion, albeit only starting late in the 3rd quarter. But who cares? Its just interesting chat for the week.
