Could State beat Clemson?

[Bulldogg31]

Keep in mind they gave up 35 points and 650 yards of offense to a 6-5 South Carolina team a month ago.

I think we’d move the ball some against them, and I think our D would give us a chance at home or neutral field.

Just wondering.

I don’t see how we would score 10 points.

21-3 Clemson

 

[Bulldog from Birth]

Sure. With our defense we would have a chance against anyone. Clemson would be a heavy favorite though. Probably 13-16 points on a neutral field.

Almost all of SCar's 650 yards was through the air. Doesn't really apply to us.

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

No way in hell. The defense would hold Clemson to 17 to 20 points. The offense would be lucky to reach 7 points. State's offense was a total liability anytime it faced an above average defense in 2018, and Clemson has a good defense.

 

[HamSammich]

No. And it wouldn’t be close. We lost 4 games this year and only one of those teams (Bama) would beat Clemson.

We've played 8 quarters vs top 10 scoring defenses this year and scored 7 points total... should be 14 though. No way we score enough to beat Clemson

We got beat 3 TD’s by Kentucky.

I mean, this may be true, but I’m not sure Clemson has played a team as good as the four who beat us. Clemson is obviously very good, but their toughest game was against an A&M team we beat.

So, Clemson is my #2 team, and I’ve watched several games this season. I don’t think Clemson is all that great this year, and if they played State, it would just depend on the offensive gameplan. State could absolutely win, but does Jomo try to fit the square peg in the round hole? The national Championship was already played in Atlanta this year.

I love my dogs as much as anyone, but on a neutral field, we lose by 3 scores I believe. We have shown nothing against defenses with a pulse to make me believe any different

Clemson is very good. I know they played a fairly soft schedule this year but the defense is legit and Lawrence is a star in the making. I actually think they have a legit chance next Monday.
