Clemson Source Do NOT HOLD BACK on Dabo Swinney & Tigers before FSU Football Game! · ACC Football Addiction (Atlantic Coast Conference)

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to ACC football addiction.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: This is a Clemson Florida state weekend that we've got
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: coming up on Halloween night game in Doak Campbell stadium,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: all the makings of what should be a nationally televised
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: and exciting game in this conference.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: And unfortunately, Brian, that's not what we've got. We've got
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the ACC network.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: We've got second fiddle to a lot of better things
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: going on, but we will still be tuned in. I'll
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: actually be there. uh, watching the Seminoles and tigers. We
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: are presented by price picks. We're all new users who
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: play a $ 5 lineup and win, get 115 lineups instantly.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: If they use code HMA coming off that we, we,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: we at least lost to the bi-week. So you guys
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: lost to an actual opponent in Virginia tech last week. Um,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the defense held until it couldn't, uh, and the offense
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: just didn't, didn't give enough.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: There in that one. It felt like, but, um, man,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: frustrating times for both programs. And, uh, I don't know, man.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: We're in the despair phase.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know where Clemson fans are exactly, but from
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the Florida State side, we're in the despair phase.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Where are you guys at right now?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Well, it's according to which Clemson fan you talk to.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: More and more of the Clemson fans are coming over
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: to my side of things, gloom, despair, and agony on me.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: When we watch Clemson play, I mean, you mentioned something
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: there just a second ago. The defense has been improved,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: oddly enough, Oddly enough, that's where we have the most
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: transfer portal players. We go over to the offense.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Funny how that works, isn't it? That thing is something.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: It is a phenomenon.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: You know, it's funny, too, because you remember when Florida
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: State beat you guys in the one time Mike Norvell's
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: done it, 2023?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Every single player who scored was a transfer. Do you
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: know that? You remember that stat? And I thought that
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: would be the wake-up call. But no, it was not.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Sorry, go ahead. I'm not even trying to be a jerk.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: How they didn't get that.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Listen, if my team was doing well, I would have
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: a little more pride to fight back. I have nothing left.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: No, that wasn't even a shot. I will say, we
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: had a linebacker take a... No, did Bethune take that back?
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Who took that? I don't remember who scored it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: It might have been every offensive player who scored, but anyway,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that's beside the point.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you're 100% right, but I've said this a
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: few different times over the course of the season. It
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: looks like we have two different teams. We have a
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: team who took a bunch of transfer portal players on
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: the defense. On the offense, we brought in a running
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: back room, not taking a shot at that young man,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: but We already had a bunch of running backs. We
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: needed offensive linemen. A lot of people would argue that
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: we need a transfer portal quarterback and let Tate get
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: some experience under his belt instead of having to shoulder
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: the weight of this football team and everything that's going
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: on with it. It just really looks different. But yeah,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: this game coming up between two ACC leaders over the past...
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: 30 years or something like that. And then to see
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: this game to be just so underwhelming. So yeah, this
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: is going to be a really interesting one, especially with
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: us coming off of a loss that a lot of
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: people felt like if we could win, maybe we could
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: go to Charlotte. That was not my opinion. That's not
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: what I was thinking, but that's what a lot of
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: people were hoping for. Now that game is a loss
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: and now we're coming to play you guys.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: What'd you think about Tate on Saturday? against Virginia Tech.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: And then, yeah, let's start with that, and then I've
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: got to follow up. But start there.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so the Clemson community is split. They're split on tape.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Here's my opinion on him. I don't think he's a
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: bad player. I don't at all. I think he's a
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: true freshman who sat out his entire senior season due
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: to injury, coming into an organization who should have went
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: to the transfer portal and basically loaded up with offensive linemen.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Think about this. A lot of those guys are young too.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: They should be on the sidelines being developed, getting rotated
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: in here and there, but not shouldering the weight of
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: this offense. So he's having to play behind them. I'm
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: not taking up nor putting down, taking up for putting
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: down on Chad Morris. But I mean, you can only
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: call certain plays if your offensive line can't block for you.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: So when I think about all of that, And then
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I look at Tate. If he was my son, I'd
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: be like, son, I love you. Transfer. Because it, I mean,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: he's catching and I knew this was going to happen.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: A lot of people in Clemson are turning against Tate.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: And I said, listen, y'all, did you not learn your
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: lesson with Kate? Did you not have you, I mean,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: how many quarterbacks do we need to go through like
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: pairs of underwear before you realize maybe it's not the
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: 19 or 20 year old kid. Maybe it's something else.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: So I feel bad for Tate. I feel like he
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: is in a lose-lose situation. And, I mean, I feel
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: bad for him. And I guess I'll kind of leave
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: it at that because there's really nothing more to say,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: you know? It's just, it's not a good situation.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: The thought that I have around it is, man, he
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: went 20 for 26, you know? Like, I feel like
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: when I look at Tate, and I'll say the same
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: thing about Ashton Daniels, I don't think Ashton Daniels is...
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: He's not good enough to play at Florida State. And
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: that's not me disparaging the kid. That's not me saying
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: that he's not a good person or anything like that.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: He's not high enough quality quarterback to play at a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: place like FSU, a storied program like Florida State.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Tate could be one day.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Tate should not be playing at Clemson University as a
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: true freshman right now. That is not Tate's fault. It
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: is not Ashton Daniels' fault that he's playing at Florida State.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I appreciate what both of them are doing in different
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: ways in saying the, going out there and doing the
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: very best they can in not good situations.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I think Ashton has been better than I expected.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's one of the top five problems
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: with this roster, but I think they're in similar spots
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: there where I don't think either one of them is
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: playing terribly. I just don't think they were set up
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: for success, and you've got to look at the people
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: in charge, not the play. Tate can go out and
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: throw three picks on Saturday night and go throw three touchdowns.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. He's put in a position to not succeed.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Same thing with Ashton Daniels.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: You go make him throw the ball 50 times in Tuscaloosa,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: he's going to throw three picks.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Like that's just what's going to happen, man. So I
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: don't blame Daniels. Certainly in the moment of games, you're like, damn,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? What are you thinking? Like, yeah,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: that's fine.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: But when I'm sitting here watching film, watching games, I'm
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: blaming him, man. It's kind of like, I'm not blaming Norvell.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: It's not Norvell's fault that he's the coach anymore. It's
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the people that high above him that allow him to
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: continue to be the coach. We know he's not good.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: So I think the same thing about tape. I do think, man,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: this Florida state defense is, is such an enigma that
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I do wonder how he looks one in this kind
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: of environment. Cause he's not playing this kind of environment.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Cal is nothing like it. And the rest of their
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: games have been at home.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess he did play a good bit of
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: that game against LSU, but yeah, he didn't prepare for
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: He didn't start the game. So, whatever.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I do think that this will be a different kind
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: of environment, but it's also a weird environment because if
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: things aren't going well, they're going to start booing and
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: not you guys, they're gonna be booing their own fans
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: or their own team and programming coaches. So this defense
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: can get got, and if take and kind of get
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: some things rolling, then I think there'll be in a
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: better spot offensively.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that our offense versus y'all's defense is
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: the great equalizer in this game. But I mean, it really,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, think about it. Y'all have struggled stopping teams
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: when it comes to, I mean, how many points? I mean, Louisville,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: they're just still scoring. And then we turn around and
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: we look at Clemson's offense. You can't throw a touchdown.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: You know, two touchdowns the entire season between all their quarterbacks,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: one for Tate. And going into this season and the
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: season before this, everyone was talking about how good our
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: wide receivers are. How good the tight end room is.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: One of them was going to transfer and they talked
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: him into staying. Guess what? Bala got the ball to him.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: He should have transferred. So if you can't get the
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: ball to the wide receivers, I mean, I don't care
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: who you have playing wide receiver for you. It's just
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: not going to work. And so I just think y'all's
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: defense versus our offense, both sides are struggling. That could
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: be the talking point of the game. But it would
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: be very interesting if for some reason we were to
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: jump ahead and your fan starts booing because all of
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: a sudden Clemson's going to be like, hold on, this
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: is like at home when we play at Death Valley now.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: What is– they followed us here?
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: When we went to Louisville earlier this year, we– We
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: were up 14-0, and then they were driving down inside
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: their five-yard line.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: They were booing.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: They were booing because they were frustrated with where things
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: were right at that moment.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: They had lost to NC State, who has now fired
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: their coach. I tweeted that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I said, man, our players should feel right at home
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: here in the booth. Not in a road environment. This
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: feels like normal to them. The Clemson defense is interesting.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Florida State's offense is good. Hey, I'll get right back
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to the interview, but first I want to give some
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: love to our friends over at Alumni Hall. Listen, if
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: you're gearing up for game day, whether it's online or

• 9:48
  Speaker 2: know why I said that like Yoda, but I did.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: The biggest and largest and best selection of game day
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: apparel that you'll find anywhere is at Alumni Hall. Again,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: CFA 15 college football addiction, 15 saves you 15% on
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: your order. We appreciate alumni hall for their support. Go
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: check them out. Like I, I hate to give Mike
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Norvell a lot of credit, but they went up and
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: put 35 points on Miami.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: They put 36 points on Bama.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: They, you know, really had Louisville on their heels before
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: just kind of, they lost all confidence and turtled a
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: little bit and tucked into a shell.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: But I like this offense.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: It's one of the better offenses, I think, in the conference.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: And the defense doesn't live up to hype. They don't
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: match it often.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: You give up.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: You score 36 in Tuscaloosa and they score, what.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: 48, 50.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: You score 36 in Miami, they score 40, you know,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: 35 in Miami, they score 43. So the defense hasn't
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: been able to stop anybody outside of Virginia. But I
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: do think that this offense can put up some points.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: But again, I think this Clemson defense is playing better
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: than many of us expected. Miami game, anomaly, but you
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: shut down Cal, mostly shut down UNC after a quick
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: start by the Tar Heels. Obviously, Charleston Southern didn't score.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: And then even Virginia Tech, man, they scored seven.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: At the very end.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: But without, you know, up until that last drive, you
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: held the 13 points. I think the defense has been
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: playing well. And I'm interested to see if they can
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: hold Florida State.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Under 28-ish, 24-ish.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: 24 is probably my number. If they can hold Florida
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: State under 24, I think Clemson wins. If they can't,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know that Clemson's offense can do enough to
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: get the win.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I agree with you. I mean, I look at this
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: offense for Clemson, and the questions are just there, right? Yeah.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: For anyone who's kind of driving by this video and
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: you're thinking about, yeah, Clemson's had some problems with offense
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: over the past few years. Actually, Clemson's offense has been
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: having a problem since probably about 2021, realistically. But the
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: defense was so flipping good that we stayed in games
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: like you would not believe. And, of course, the offense
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: was better than what it is now. I mean, it
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: really doesn't take much. But the defense was so good.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Where things really started falling apart for Clemson over the
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: past few years is when the defense started to fall backwards.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: And it started to match that offensive performance. We see
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: all the transfer portal players on the defensive side of
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: the football. We're seeing Tom Allen produce overall. If you
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: see the defense falter overall, a lot of times it's
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: because they're tired from being out on the field. Their
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: offense is giving them, at best, a field goal. And
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: so this is going to be really interesting going into
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Tallahassee because, I mean, how insulting, how insulting is it
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: that you have a winning record going into Tallahassee thinking, hey,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: they have a losing record. They're struggling. I mean, we
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: should be a favorite or whatever. Right now, Florida State
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: is favored by almost a touchdown. So truly, it's anyone's game,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: but it's just a really bad time for both programs.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Last year, Florida state was a favorite going into this
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: game and could not win it. I, I just wonder
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: so much about the mindset of both programs. Florida state
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: seems to do this Jekyll and Hyde thing where they play.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys quite do this or not,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: because it's more so sporadically just been moments like you know,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: LSU is more talented.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Miami is more talented. Virginia tech gets you.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I think those programs are kind of even just, they
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: happen to make a few more plays than Clemson did
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: and won the game. So I, But Florida State does
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: this thing where they play great and then awful and
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: then great and then awful and then great. Like, it
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: is the wildest thing. And so, whereas Clemson I don't
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: think is so much highs and lows. Like, I don't
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: think it's like Jekyll and Hyde every week. You can
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong there. It just kind of
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: feels like when they play a team that's more talented
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: than them, they're going to lose. And last week was
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: a 50-50 game that went the wrong way. The defense
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: played well. Offense didn't do enough. You lose that kind
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: of game. So, if Florida State plays well, I think
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: they win. Like, it's as simple as that to me.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Last year, you guys, and I know Mensah was on
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the team, and I know Barkay was on the team,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: and I know they won the ACC, but they also
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: lost to two Group of Five schools. You gave up
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: 46 points to Duke the week before, and we're coming
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: in as a favorite, and we score 10 points. Now,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I know home and road is different, but to me,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Clemson's kind of this pretty steady team. I don't think
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: they've quit. I don't think that, and I know it's
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: not good enough. I'm not trying to overhype Clemson. But
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think they've quit. I don't think they're Jekyll
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: and Hyde. I just think they're not great. They're an
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: average to slightly above average team, somewhere in the middle
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: of the ACC. And they're going to go out and
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: play their game. Does the good Florida State show up
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: that takes Miami to double overtime, that pushes Bama for
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: a half, or does the bad Florida State show up?
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: The last three quarters of Louisville, the FCS games, the
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: SMU games. So to me, that's really a lot of
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: what this comes down to.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: I wonder who is mentally coming into this game more
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: let down, really. I mean, what happened with y'all versus Miami,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: the game itself, the ending. Sure, you're coming off of
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: a bye week, but man, that's awfully heavy to have
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: to sit with. Clemson, you flip to the other side
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: of the football. As I said, you've noticed it on
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: your comment board. You've heard probably some Clemson personalities talk
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: about this. Hey, Forget the LSU and Miami game. If
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: you can just win Virginia Tech, because James Franklin's going
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: to have them ready. Gronkmeyer's good. Luke Reynolds is good. Blah, blah, blah.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: But if you can win that game afterwards, you can
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: win out your conference schedule and probably go to Miami
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: or go to Charlotte to play Miami. And when that
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: didn't happen, I'm telling you, I have seen Clemson fans
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: within my comment board and on other boards, whether it's
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: on Instagram, what have you. It's like this is the
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: most dejecting loss for them because they were betting the
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: house that we would turn the corner. I never bought it.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: I never bought it. I was saying in January, we're
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: losing to Virginia Tech. Sorry. And we did. And I'm
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: telling you, I have not seen the Clemson fan base
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: implode like they have. I mean, the 41-point loss to
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: LSU didn't do it. 28-point loss to Miami didn't do it.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: This one did it. It's wild. So I want to
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: see which team comes out and they're less depressed. I mean, really.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Who's the one that seems like maybe they took their
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: depression medicine before they walked out and maybe had a
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: good talking to by someone that got them all inspirational?
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Maybe Norvell walked in there with a, with a mug
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: cup on the side of it. It's written on the
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: side of it, is coach of the best team in
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: the world, and.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I love them.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: And that gets them all fired up. I don't know.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: I know that sounds sarcastic, but really, to me, I
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: think both teams are probably pretty depressed. Clemson probably is
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: the most depressed coming into this game. So I look
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: forward to see how they both approach it because neither
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: team looks good. They have their moments. They have certain
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: things they've done well. As I've said, the defense has
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: done solid. But, dude, Clemson and Florida State in this situation,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: it's a lot.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: It's depressing.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: It's early in the week. I don't know if you
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: have a score yet this early in the week, but
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: what's your gut tell you happens on Saturday?
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Who wins? I think that both teams run out onto
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: the field. And they hit each other at the 50
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: yard line. They both pass out cold.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: And they cancel the game. That's the end of it.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: That's the, you know, between how disastrous both of these
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: teams have. I mean, the disaster. I mean, it's just,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: I can't believe, I feel like I'm living in an
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: alternate reality watching both of these teams where they're at. No, no, no, no.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: This one's a very confusing one. This is a very
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: confusing one. I haven't done my prediction yet, but I
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: will say this. You're at home. You're a favorite for
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: a reason. And I think Clemson is depressed. I think
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: they are shell-shocked. And maybe, just maybe, it's an ugly game.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: One side of the football plays better against this side
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: of the football. And it's an ugly game, and someone
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: just happens to win. I am leaning towards Florida State,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: but I'll kind of stop short there.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think logic would tell you that Florida State
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: should win this game.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: If you just kind of look at where both programs
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: are where both teams are this year. It would lean
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Florida state in my estimation, football has not been logical this,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: this season. And so, you know, I, I would have
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: leaned a lot of different ways if, and I made
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of money in Vegas. Had I, had I
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: gone with logical things, but it hasn't been logical. So
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: we'll see if it is on Saturday. I do think
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Florida state's playing a little bit better right now. I
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: do have a little more trust in them, but we'll
• 19:08
