I have been extremely pissed off over the last few weeks. So pissed off that I am just now calming down enough to talk about it. As a Clemson fan I get pissed when I see a talented team sitting at 2-3 record in the middle of October. What's worse is, my team is 2-3 and USC is 4-1 with a win over Alabama. Clemson has recruited some of the best talent over the last few years and what do we have to show for it? A fecking music city bowl trophy!

I don't blame the players I blame the entire offensive staff and the Head coach. I can handle our first loss to Auburn, we actually looked very good in that game but just had a bad 3rd quarter. But in the following loss we had SIX turnovers against Miami. Jacory Harris had three touchdown pass on us, JOCORY HARRIS c'mon.

Last week's loss is the worst of all. We lost N. Carolina's second string, wtf? They have the 85th ranked rushing defense in the country while Clemson has the leading rusher in the ACC in Ellington who is averaging 7 ypc. Naturally you would assume that our basic approach is to run Ellington straight at them right. Well it seems that our OC did NOT natural assume this, Ellington only got 13 touches in the game. When we did run the ball we used an inferior back and we threw to a terrible receiving corp that cannot catch the ball if the wanted to. Play calling and personnel decisions were terrible, in short bad coaching cost us two of our three losses.

There were some bright spots though over the last few games. Da'quan Bowers is finally living up to his five star potential. "Nuke" Hopkins is a young WR who made a few plays and gave great effort in Saturday's loss to UNC. Hopkins is a true freshman who should be a dominate go-to receiver when he gets the system down. Also Jaron Brown made a big catch this week and if he gets consistency he should be decent threat. right now Brown and Hopkins are our best shot at deep threats.

I would like to conclude this post by saying a few words to Dabo Swiney our Head coach " Fire your asst head coach Brad Scott, His son Jeff who coaches the wide receivers and most importantly fire the OC Billy Napier." These three will make excellent sacrificial lambs at the end of the season.
