The Clemson football run-defense was astounding. This has been somewhat of a problem for the Tigers over the course of the season. (Virginia and Miami are likewise winless in league play, but they’re only 0-1.) It’s possible to win the Coastal with three losses – at 5-3, Tech tied Miami and North Carolina for first in 2013 – but it’s hard to imagine these Jackets running the ol’ conference table.

Georgia Tech has lost four straight games, the last three coming against ACC foes. The Eagles have struggled against Clemson in recent years, losing four in a row and six of the past seven meetings…. Clemson has won its last 33 game against unranked opponents. On homecoming in Death Valley, favored by 15½, Clemson wins a sixth straight and begins to prepare for a trip to Little Cuba.
Georgia Tech (2-4) 24-43 No. 6 Clemson (5-0): The Clemson Tigers are looking more and more like the best team in the ACC. They handled Georgia Tech easily and were up 19-3 after the first quarter. Swinney flat out lost it.
Clemsoning is the best thing that ever happened to Clemson. Even the most optimistic fan could not have imagined a turnaround like this. It’s in his blood to look in the locker room and let the guys know the past is the past. This will be the most important stretch of the season for the Tigers.
Most all the preseason questions have been answered and optimism abounds with a healthy Deshaun Watson, a productive run game led by Wayne Gallman and a defense, featuring outstanding rush ends Shaq Lawson and Kevin Dodd, that might be better than the one last season that finished No. 1 nationally. Among undefeated teams, Clemson is fourth behind Baylor (25.9), Toledo (21.5) and Ohio State (17.9).
4 North Carolina (4-1, 1-0 ACC): The Tar Heels have a great opportunity the next two weeks with home games against Wake Forest and Virginia. That’s a motivating factor for an angry Clemson team, one with something left to prove.
“I’m the first one to remain humble and keep things in perspective”, Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. -Claire “Yes you will”. 340 and.336, respectively, to put them on the ACC’s leaderboards. Given the same frame, the 2014 Eagles beat USC.
Pittsburgh’s scoring in the first quarter of its five games. Groups must have a minimum of 15 people in attendance to win. That should help get the Tigers ready for an October 31 game at N.C. State. In order to challenge for even.500, something needs to change…fast.
“I love Steve as a person and as a coach”, Rodgers said. This season will test your patience beyond its limits.
What you lost with Mason is confidence and a tremendous amount of leadership.
I think what has been happening is all five have tried to step up and lead after Mason’s direction moved on.
We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. -Doug “Whose auto we gonna take?” It had been since 2013 when Virginia Tech went through a game against a Football Bowl Subdivision team without a turnover. When a team is bad, you support them. “And I still think we’ve got the No. 1 defense, so it’s nothing different we haven’t seen at practice”.
“They are going to try and bracket me”, Boyd told Pittsburgh media Wednesday.
“For me it’s always humbling”. Seventy-one of those yards did come by way of one big run by Virginia running back Albert Reid. “What you hope to do is limit the rest of the guys”. Take it from our newest contributor, Arthur Bailin, who roots for the New York Mets.
Quick, which conferences have multiple Top Ten ranked teams from the same division (averaging out both major polls)?
The Yellow Jackets enter Friday’s match after sweeping Notre Dame but falling short to Louisville last weekend. I’ve never thought the players on the team deserved anything less. They’re out there competing each and every week.

Elliott agreed that while Clemson might have deserved a few criticism in the past, they don’t now.
