There is something to this battle-tested stuff. Just ask the U.S. forces about the Battle of the Kasserin Pass.

There is also something to be said about experience. Clemson has been in the CFB Playoff three out of the last four years. How many have our current coaches and players have been in? They have won it 2 out of the last 3 years. This is an excellent team we will be going against. They have elite coaches and players.

Do I think we can win? Yes! Especially if we can establish a running game. But to be clear, this is the best team we will face this season.

I hear you. You make a good point. We have just gathered experience in a series of "one-and-done" match-ups over the past three games. Lose to PSU or itchagain or Whiskey and maybe we're not even a four seed.

To be fair, he WAS trying to figure out what his own name was at the time.

In that last drive he was in as bad of shape as Suga Shane. He really had no business being out there. After he let that flutter ball go and Cie had spun him around, I don’t think he got off his knees for a few minutes. Not because he lost, but because I don’t think he knew the direction of his bench.

So Tye and Jake just mailed their letters to Santa (which get redirected to me ha ha), and their updates of the Clemson strength and conditioning program has me worried for my beloved Buckeyes. They're calling it "the Program" or something.

Pretty sure Dorsey was splitting up blood after the game if I recall an article correctly.

Every time I watch a replay of that game, I'm amazed at just how violent that game was. Not dirty, there were very few penalties, but both teams were smackin'!
I read an article a few years ago where something like 12 players from both teams, by their own admissions, suffered some form of concussion in that game.

It was a man's game. The Texas-USC game gets rated higher than it historically because everyone loves offense, but that game was soft compared to ours with cryami.

I always thought Tim Anderson came over to Dorsey then just to say, "Good game." But now that you mention that, he might well have asked him if he was okay in case he needed medical attention.

How we played Miami is how we have to play Clemson. We have to hit them hard, get after the QB, and take advantage of mistakes. We have to understand it's ok to give up yards but like in 2001 we have to keep them out of the endzone.
