RE: Congrats Clemson
There were only a handful of must-have moments in that game, and Clemson took most of them. Awesome game! Let's do it again every year.

RE: Congrats Clemson
Thanks! I am deaf, mute, and absolutely worn out. Got home around 0330 and got called in to work at 0800.
Felt a lot like last year vs Auburn. Offense wasn't as sharp as it could be. Receivers had the dropsies then too. It will work out one way or another.....either they will start catching the ball or we will plug in one of the younger 4 stars behind them on the depth chart. Stanton Seckinger is making a whole bunch of people eat their words today. There was a ton of Tigers who complained when he committed because he wasn't highly recruited, we had other WR recruits rated higher and came from a small private school here in SC. However, he had camped at Clemson for several years so the staff knew what he was capable of, and had seen him literally abuse blue chip DBs when he went head to head. I felt all along with his size he would eventually move to TE like Brandon Ford did. He's going to be the next great TE in this offense. For everybody who thought we were going to miss Andre Ellington I am pretty sure Hot Rod McDowell opened some eyes last night. Zac Brooks is finally at the point where he is starting to contribute as well. Our backfield is just fine thank you.
Defensive backs are still a work in progress. Need to get a couple guys back from injury and let them compete. I felt that the DL and LB are night and day better than last year. I hope I never see Venables run the prevent defense again. While we gave up a ton of yards, the defense showed it could impose it's will at times and that bodes well for the future. We will not see anywhere near as talented a backfield as we saw last night this year unless it comes in the bowl game.
Other than Sammy's muff special teams was outstanding. Catman is about as automatic as it gets kicking, Pinion was 7 for 7 on touchbacks and only had one punt returned for 4 yards all night, putting 3 of 7 inside the 20.
We had over 100 recruits from the 2014, 2015, and 2016 classes at the game on official and unofficial visits last night and what an environment for them to see. That has to rate up there with the loudest, most energetic crowds I have ever seen at Clemson. The AD is promoting a saying this year: "It's not just loud it's #Clemsonloud" and it definitely was. We picked up commits for both 2014 and 2015, and I feel sure the crowd played a huge part in it.
First ever non-SEC team to beat back to back Top 10 SEC teams.
Finally after several years get the chance to show the nation what the ACC's best game day experience looks like in prime time.
Although it was a huge game IMO Dabo made a statement to the team before the game when we wore our regular white pants instead of the big game all orange. That set the tone that despite all the hype this was just another game.
Georgia had SEC speed, especially when their defense was flopping on the field trying to disrupt our rhythm. The only problem is that SEC speed < Clemson speed.
As big as the FSU and GT games are each year last night proved without a doubt that UGA is our clear #2 rival, and if they hadn't discontinued the yearly home and home IMHO they would currently be #1. From the late 70's - early 90's they were neck and neck with South Carolina as it was.
This one is in the books on to SC State this week.

Georgia is up on South Carolina by 14! That's making the Clemson win look even better.
