The word “clemsoning” has yet to be added to Merriam-Webster dictionary and with the way the undefeated Tigers have played the 2015 season, chances are the word will fizzle into the same graveyard where “Tebowing” rests, but Dabo Swinney was asked a question with the word “Clemsoning” in his press conference following Clemson’s 43-24 victory over Georgia Tech. It doesn’t get much easier for Boston College as they will now take on Unbeaten Clemson.

That’s why Johnson emphasized there was nothing wrong with the offensive scheme, which was so impressive previous year and during the first two games of 2015.
Sitting at 5-0 Straight Up (SU) and 3-2 Against The Spread (ATS), the Tigers will look to improve heading into Week 7.
No doubt they did celebrate. Pittsburgh has an interest matchup next weekend when they travel to Georgia Tech.
Every week Clemson has shown up and shown off, demonstrating the same sense of objective regardless of opponent. The Orange came into the game ranked 17th nationally in rushing defense, but allowed the Bulls to run for 282 yards and 531 overall to lose for the second straight game.
Business is business, regardless of the foe. The Yellow Jackets can not afford a misstep if they want to extend their consecutive streak of 18 bowl appearances.
A week after topping the Fighting Irish in a thriller, Clemson showed no visible signs of a hangover. “We’ve got to do them at a high efficiency and play better”. Lets recap how teams in the ACC performed and see who earned my player of the week honors. It’s all about what’s in front of you and not what’s behind you. “We led the nation and set an all-time record previous year running the same plays”. We don’t vary how we prepare. This is a focused football team.
If you guessed SEC West (LSU, Alabama, Texas A&M), the Big 10 East (Ohio State, Michigan State) the Big 12 (one misnamed 10 team division with Baylor and TCU), and the ACC Atlantic with heavyweights Clemson and Florida State you would be correct.
One can make the argument (and it’s a valid one) that the Tech game was bigger than the Notre Dame clash. After watching the ball sail over punter Ryan Rodwell’s head for a third straight week, Johnson replaced Tobin with Casey Wilson during the Clemson game. “We have to get back to what we do, and we’re not doing a good job at that right now”. Hats off to our team.
With half the season gone, most of the players are ready to hit the reset button and try to finish strong. “I felt like we had a better week of practice than we did last week, and I expected our guys to play their best game”. A lot of Tiger fans were anxious about this one coming into the game, but that stress subsided very early in the game when it was evident Clemson was just too talented for the Yellow Jackets.

The Tigers just have to take ’em one game at a time.
