Wow I am shocked that Syracuse ran the ball on the Clemson defense on the first drive!Then Clemson goes right down the field on them.Second drive was a 3 and out.Venabeles makes an adjustment after one series ,WOW what a nice luxury to have.
Clemson vs Syracuse
- Thread starter sooners49
- Start date
This game has gone back and forth. Tied up now in the 3rd.
I am really shocked that Syracuse can hang with them.I think it shows that parity in college football is stronger than ever.As we saw last week in Norman
Clemson has all the momentum now unfortunately
Mack needs to quiet down
Mack needs to quiet down
Mack has a great gig now, announcing Friday night football games...
Mack talks non stop, put a rag in it.

Makes me feel better about our loss.

DOWN GOES CLEMSON!
Agree....but someone needs to take out Alabama and I don't see that happening.Feels good to see an undefeated team lose.
If OU hadn't laid an egg we would be looking at a number 2 ranking with a victory tomorrow. Very interested to see how we look
hmmm, did I ever mention that I'm a Syracuse grad???
We do....and we know how dangerous Syracuse can be inside the Carrier Dome.
But two stinkers in a row by OU is cause for a concern.
I wonder how Clemson might have done had it not lost its QB.
Sooners have lost a QB several times and made it through the wringer. Clemson using this as an excuse can go weep...I hate Clemson just as much as the U.
They didn't look good anyway coming out of the shute.
Really? It's frickin Friday night, before OU-texASS and you Fockers are talking about Syracuse-Clemson? WTF?!?!?
Well, to give you a little perspective on how big of a 'cuse fan I am, I rooted against them when they played KU for the NC back when they had Carmelo. I hate Jim Boeheim. Frankly, I don't pay much attention to them at all in any sport.
But tonight, I was a fan.
It was orange on orange, bro. No matter who you were rooting AGAINST, it felt right.
How many of those West coast folks will be in hospitals later after this game in the fallout zone ?
I was referring to Alabama being beaten. I know it seems unlikely but it can happen when we least expect it. I understand your point though that it wasn't just one game where we stunk it up. Even Tulane had success on our defense.
According to Jerry Palm the loss was bad but not as bad as OU losing to ISU. WTH Palm are you basing that off the point spread?
Clemson will drop no lower than 7th in the next poll. Its a bad loss no matter how the idiot Palm wants to spell it

Clemson looked bad from the opening kickoff. They never led in the whole game and many on their team choked. Their FG kicker misses a chipshot for the lead 7 minutes left in the game.
The whole Clemson team looked bad.
Overrated.
To be fair, Bryant was hurt coming into this game. He could barely run which is a big part of his game.
Yeah, so we can get him. Both Syracuse and Cal came to play. You can tell it in their demeanor and how upbeat both teams were. I hope to hell we come out and kick some shit around.
We should all know about what it is like to be overrated.
What the Syracuse and Clemson game reveals, like so many other contemporary games, is how parity now is the face of college football.
No one could have predicted the Iowa State win or the Syracuse win. And there are many more to come.
For Oklahoma fans, this fact of life is painfully obvious.
It seems to me that Saban and Alabama have trumped parity by recruiting the best talent annually and developing and motivating it well. While this doesn't make Alabama totally bulletproof, it does take it to a higher level than other teams year in and year out.

I think he knows how to keep his team motivated, I believe is key to a win. Our defense is not motivated, no leader to keep them motivated. They can't rely on Mike Stoops as a leader.
Go listen to Saban's presser after their Chattanooga game last year and even his teams have games where they don't show up playing at a high level. It's impossible for a team to go an entire season and not have a bit of a down game. But Saban is huge on the mental game and keeping his team mentally prepared and mentally focused in the right direction. I think that's a big part of what sets Saban apart from other coaches.
On the money BillyRay, you said it best. I am just an old blue collar retiree and have a hard time saying what I mean. Perfectly said.
While some of you can live your Sooner fandom through a Clemson loss, I can't. I won't. Our Sooners crapped their pants last week losing to friggin' ISU, a dog of at least 31 points and did so in Norman. No Syracuse win can erase this. None. My mantra is still FIRE MIKE STOOPS... I don't give a damn about a Syracuse win or a Clemson loss. My concern is the future of the Sooners. Carry on.
Boomer!
Boomer!
Preach on WNS. If we lose to Texas today and score 38 while they score 41 I want them to leave Mike in Dallas and the players who refuse to give a rats ass about tackling
OU’s defense is not even close to good enough for a run,sorry but it’s true.I really don’t think they are close to last years team.
