  Speaker 1: Welcome back to ACC Football Addiction. Virginia Tech and Clemson,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: a big one in the ACC this weekend. We are

• 0:15
  Speaker 1: back on with us.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: It's been a little while.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I think it was springtime or so that we had
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: you on the Boundary Corner. So how you been, man?
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Been really well. You know, the season has got off
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: to a pretty interesting start for the Hokies. You know,
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: you sitting here five and two, uh, feel pretty good. Uh,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: despite probably dropping one in Cal that you probably want
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: to have back, uh, both games coming down to really
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: last minute plays that could have, you know, pushed it
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: the other way. But at the same time, we're in
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: a whole lot better situation than we were last year.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I know we've chatted a couple of times at this point,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: so feeling pretty good at Hokie nation overall and ready to, uh,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: take on the tigers this week.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's, um, man, that's a hell of a lot
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: more reasonable take than, than most college football fans have.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: So credit to you, man, for, for getting through seven
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: weeks of this season and being able to do that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Cause I feel like most people can't. But no, I agree. Like, yeah, man,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: there's a couple in there that you'd really, you know,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: make a kick.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: We have the last minute, even just one of those
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: two things, six and one would feel pretty special, but
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: you also like, you see the progress of, of where
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: things were. I think Saturday is a massive opportunity for,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: for really both teams, but you know, Clemson is, is
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: not the Clemson of old and I get that, but
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: they still have one ACC loss. They still could theoretically
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: compete for Charlotte. When you look at the, the back
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: half of their schedule, they'll be playing at home right
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: now against the team in Virginia tech that has shown
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: some vulnerabilities in some spots in the same thing for
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Virginia tech, man. Like, yeah, the two ACC losses, but
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a chance to go out, you know, in front of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: kind of a national audience, seven o'clock at Clemson in,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: in death Valley to get like, would you call this the,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, this would be the statement win of the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: year so far for Virginia Tech if they were able
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to knock off the Tigers. So I think it's a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: game of massive importance for both sides.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is one that if you're trying to take
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: the next step as Virginia Tech, you've got to go
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: in and take care of business here. It's not that
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Clemson is necessarily fully fallen off. I don't think they're
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: at that point yet, but they've got a lot of
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: holes in their roster that I think they're not used to. And,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: and they're in a, in a pretty vulnerable state in
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: terms of the whole hierarchy of the way the ACC
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: stands right now. You know, they're kind of playing in
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: that second tier and they're not used to that. And
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: that second tier is kind of grown this year. I mean,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: there there's teams probably, you know, between, you know, two
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: or three and upwards of 10 in the ACC that
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: are kind of all in that conversation that are kind of,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: you're really talent wise. All of them have some degree
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: of talent, but a lot of them have holes in
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: the roster. I think the interesting thing in these matchups
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: this week is that on both sides of the football,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: you're really kind of looking at the strength of what
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: we do is also the strength of what their defense
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: does and vice versa. Like, you know, they want to
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: run the ball. We stopped the run pretty darn well.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: We're a sieve in the back end, but they don't
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: throw the ball particularly well. So it's, it's really an
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: interesting matchup of strength on strength and weakness on weakness
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: this week. And, I think it's going to be one
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: of those things where if you tell me we score
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: 30 plus against them, I think that's definitely a win
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: for us. Yeah.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's and that is part of college football right
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: now is you don't know what you're getting week to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: week across the entire sport.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: There has never been more. it's never been more like
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: the NFL.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: And I even kind of mean that in a good way,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: not just like the NIL and pan play and all
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that stuff, but like just the parody. Now it's not
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: good for individual fan bases that want to see their
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: team be consistent, but just from a neutral perspective of
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: watching football, it does make it more exciting. I just
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: literally just read a stat on my last show and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I won't be able to find it fast enough to, to.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Pull it up.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: But I think 10 years ago, but Elliot tweeted something
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: like 10 years ago, um, 92 per this week in
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: college football, 92% of games had a two touchdown spread
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: or more this week.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: It is 65%.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Like we've lost 30, nearly 30%.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Of blowouts, you know, like things are just closer now
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: than they've ever been.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And I mean, that makes it more fun, but it also, again,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: looking at Clemson, looking at Virginia tech, like what performance
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: am I going to get from the tigers? You know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: who against non top 10 teams, I'll say, or, you know, LSU,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: not top 10 now, but they were at the time
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: they they've looked fine. The winning is North Carolina is
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: looking a little bit better. I thought it was really impressive.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: They were able to go on the road and, and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: kind of handle Cal defensively the way that they did.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Although Cal is kind of not as, not impressed me
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: as much as I maybe bought some of that off
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: season hype. Um, But then in certain games, man, they
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: just don't have it. They struggle at times against teams
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that you just wouldn't expect. They find ways to win,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: which is always impressive. But if you could tell me
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: right now which Clemson team shows up, especially defensively, I'd
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: have a better feel for this. I just have no
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: clue which side of that ball is going to show up.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And then I think the same could be said for
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Virginia Tech. You talked about them stopping the run fairly well.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: The one team that kind of got the pit, kind
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: of got them on the ground once Heinzel went out.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: And I thought that you know, I, I just don't
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: know who's going to show up week to week. If
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: you told me who was, I could pick a winner
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: in this one really easily, but I just.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Have no clue.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And I'm kind of with you on that too,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: because I mean, when you look at, look back at
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: that pit game, you know, the third quarter was, was
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: rough for us, especially, you know, Heinzel goes down, they
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: lead on the run for whatever reason. We just didn't
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: look like we were ready to make that pivot at
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: that point in time. And, you know, gave up a
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: score there that ended up being, you know, kind of
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: the difference maker at the end of the game, you know, not,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: not counting the simultaneous catch at the end of the
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: first half and all that, you know, kind of snowballed
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: from that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Mean, we've been a team that has not been as consistent,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I think, as we want to be. I think offense
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: has been pretty darn good most of the time. Cal notwithstanding, obviously,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I kind of take some of the BC game out
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: of play here just because you're playing in a nor'easter
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: and it's really hard to really take a ton away
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: from that um but but Cal's really been the biggest
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: disappointing offensive performance we've only really had one game where
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: turnovers have been a factor and that was against Pitt
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: yeah um penalties have been a problem up until this
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: last week where we won the turnover battle and the
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: penalty battle um you know against a pretty solid Georgia
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Tech opponent um But we're still kind of figuring things
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: out on both sides of the football. I think sometimes
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: when we are doing so well getting the ball to
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: our playmakers, when the other team is doing a good
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: job of taking those away, we don't really have a counterpunch.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I think we're still trying to find that. On the
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: defensive side of the football, when teams are committing to
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: throwing the ball against us, they're finding success. And not
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: because we're awful on the back end all the time,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: But we're inconsistent with our communication on the back end.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: And we are inconsistent with our technique, which has led
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: to a lot of free yardage and penalties a lot
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: of times.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I've been and I had high expectations for him coming
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: into the year, but I have been impressed with Gronk.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I think he's been one of the better quarterbacks in
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: this conference. Now, I do. I will admit, I think
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: it's Mensah and everyone else.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Um, but I, you know, I like Lopez, um, JKS
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: hasn't quite lived up to the hype that I maybe
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: expected out of him. I, I like Jennings. I think,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, to be truth be told, you mentioned simultaneous catches.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I guess I'll bring Florida state up. Um, but, uh,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you guys know what that feels like down in hard rock. Um, but, uh,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I think actually deals has played pretty, pretty well for,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: for given where the expectations were around him. I like
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: keen holds a lot at, at, uh, at Louisville, but
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I think Gronk has played pretty well. I think Ethan's been,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you know, not perfect by any means, but there are
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: some dimes that he drops at times and you know, it's,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: it's really there. I'm very intrigued to see how he
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: plays on the road in death alley, which I do
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: think even though the Clemson fans are kind of in
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: a little bit of the purgatory that FSU fans are
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: right now, um, of knowing like, where is this program headed?
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I think it'll be an excited crowd that if, if
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Clemson gives them anything to cheer about early, they'll, they'll
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: still kind of be raucous and ready to see their
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: tigers win. Um, but I do wonder like, how does
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: he play up against that defense, which has talent? They
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: haven't always played the best this year at times, uh,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: against better competition, but the way that he performs on
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Saturday is something that really intrigues me.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Just before we go on, I will give some love
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: to alumni hall.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Listen, if you are looking for the best and largest
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: selection of game day apparel, alumni hall is your stop.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: And because they appreciate you for listening to this show,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: which we do as well, they'd really appreciate if you
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: guys were subscribed They want to give you 15% off
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: of your order. CFA 15 will save you 15% at
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: alumni hall.com or in store at any of their locations
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and anything you buy online. CFA 15 is the code
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't sign you up for anything. It's not a monthly fee.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Make sure that you are hitting up alumni hall on
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: game day, leading up to game day in the off season.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Doesn't matter.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: CFA 15. We appreciate you guys for watching and we
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: appreciate them for their support.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's the big thing.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, we've seen a couple pretty decent defenses so
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: far this year. I think in terms of just pressure
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: and ability to take away the run, I mean, Pitt's
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: really good at that. Pitt brings good pressure. They do
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: a good job of taking away the run where you
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: have to be kind of one-dimensional. That was part of
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: the problem in that game, and we saw he made
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: a couple mistakes in that game, right? So, That's something
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: to kind of look at and see if he's grown
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: from that going into this Clemson matchup. You definitely don't
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: think that Clemson is the run stopper that Pitt is.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: But at that same time, I think they're better in
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: the back end. They're more competitive in the back end
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: than Pitt. So if we can keep Grunt clean, I
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: feel pretty good about him playing a pretty solid game overall.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: I think the one element that we haven't seen a
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: ton of is.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Just purely throwing a deep ball when it's not, you know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: something that's breaking wide open and things like that. Like
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: we haven't seen a ton of contested 20, 30 yard
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: balls down the field where he's just throwing it on a,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: on a dime.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I think that's probably one area that he's still, he's
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: still working on his game to bring up. But he's,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: he does a really good job of distributing the football,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: finding the open man, going through progressions. Well, he looks
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: really comfortable in the pocket, even though our offensive line is,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: had a lot of injuries and he's looked at a
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: lot of different guys in front of him throughout the
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: year so far so poise wise what he's doing just
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: in terms of efficiency I really have no complaints about
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: the that those pieces there's just one or two things
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: where it's like if you can take that one step
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: in this area we could be as dynamic offensively as
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: you could imagine.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I agree with you on Clemson, certainly wanting to establish
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the run, not put too much on their freshman quarterback.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I do think he's grown.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I think the, I think the way he played against
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Miami was admirable considering one, the pressure he was under
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to the talent deficiency that they had. And I don't
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: certainly don't think he's you know, he's not in my
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: top maybe eight of quarterbacks in the ACC that I
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: just ramble through. But I do think the way that
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: he's he's a little more poised. I like the way
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: that he is not afraid. I mean, he took hits
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and continue to go. I think the if Virginia Tech
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: is able to, you know, you don't ever want to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: use the word stop, but really limit, slow down the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Clemson rushing attack. the way that he steps up and, and,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and the way that Virginia tech will need to step
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: up to defend him. If he is having a good
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: game is something that really interests me. The, the quarterback play,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: even though they're never on the field at the same
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: time is something that that competition.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: You show me both quarterback stat lines and I'll tell
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: you who won this game, you know, because I do
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: think that that is what it, it may, it may
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: come down to is, is to somebody make the crucial mistake.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Does Virginia tech's defense, is it, is it still a
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: leaky on the back end? As you said, like, there's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: a lot that kind of goes into it, but I've
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: been impressed with Tate. Maybe I just like everybody and
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: that's the problem, but I've been impressed with the situation
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: that he's walked into and the way that he's performed.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Not that I think that's an elite level, but I,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you know, is he able to take some, some advantage
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: of advantage of some opportunities there for, for Clemson against
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: this defense?
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Uh, in a lot of ways, you know, you see
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a mirror to what, what, uh,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: grunt got through into at Penn state last year. Um,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Not quite the murderer's row right out the gate that
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Grunk was facing, but at the same time, certainly some
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: of the top competition that you'll see in the conference
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: this year. I mean, UNC, definitely a better team this
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: year than I think a lot of us anticipated. I mean,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: some people had them in the bottom two or three
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: of the conference to start the year. They're certainly not
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: that bad. Some people could argue they're probably top five
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: in the conference right now. They're at least top eight
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: in the conference right now. Um, so I mean, he's,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: he's seen some of the, the, the top end, uh,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: talent in the conference. Um, it's been a, it's been
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: an up and down, uh, I think, you know, campaign
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: for him so far, uh, definitely going through some growing pains. Um,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: you know, you'd love to see that the touchdown numbers
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: go up, but I think just situationally he's been better
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: than he's been given credit for. I just think, you know,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: some of those, those big plays in the passing game
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: haven't really, come yet, and I think Clemson's kind of
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: waiting for that element of the game to come around.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the comparison to Ethan last year at
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Penn State's a really good one, so I like that.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: What is the single thing, I.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Mean, whether it's the crowd, the road game tied in
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: with the crowd, a certain matchup, the moment, whatever it is,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: what's the one thing that worries you.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: The most from the Virginia Tech perspective on Saturday?
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: I think the biggest one for me is You know,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: you're facing a team that, while they've seen some improvements,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: is still struggling to move the football through the air.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: I think they're going to make completions. I don't doubt that.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: I think the big thing we need to limit is
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: the big plays and the big mistakes in the passing
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: game that we've seen from this defense on the back end,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: especially in road games. You know, looking at the Cal game,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: We had a couple big breakdowns in Maryland that ended
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: up not mattering because of how good we played in
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: the first half. But at the same time, there were
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: a lot of plays late in that game that makes
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: you feel really questionable about, is this sustainable? Are we
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: getting better as the year goes on back there? We
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: improved some of those penalties this past week on the
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: back end, but I really need to see the level
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: of play improve as well, not just cleaning up some
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: of the mistakes.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Where do you think, I'll go the opposite side, what
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: should worry Clemson the most about Virginia Tech? What is
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the one thing, maybe the place you think you can
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: take advantage of the most?
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Getting them behind the sticks. Whether it's sacks, whether it's
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: tackles for loss, I mean, this is one of the
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: best tackle for loss defenses in the country. You've got
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: number two in the country, tied for number two in
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: the country in sacks right now with Aston Stevens. I
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: think we do a really good job of getting our
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: opponents behind the sticks where we, where they get them
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: into obvious past situations. And in those situations, I think
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: that's where we can put Clemson behind the eight ball
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: a little bit, because I don't think they're going to
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: be that good on third and longs. So that's, that's
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: my goal. And that's what I think could give them Clemson.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: The most problems on offense is get them behind the
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: sticks and make them have to throw it to get
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: the first down.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I'm going to make you do it, but it's Wednesday afternoon.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: You're subject to change on your own stuff, but what's
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: your score as far as today goes?
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I just change mine all week. I just don't write
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: it down, and I can't remember what I said last,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: so I just make up a new one.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: We were just talking about it as a group. We're
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: going live tonight with our show, so really excited to
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: kind of put that out there, but I'm 31-24 Hokies.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: I think this is going to be one where We
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: finally settle in. We look good, as good offensively as
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: we did against Maryland on the road. I think the
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: last two, you know, between flight troubles, trip out to Cal,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Nor'easter in Boston College, we haven't played the games that
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: we wanted to in those two, but there was a
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: lot of extenuating circumstances in those. Not a lot of
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: juice in either stadium. You're going to get juice at Clemson.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: So there's no way you're not getting up for this
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: game It's going to be preached week in, week out.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: This is a game that you need to go out
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: there and showcase who you are because Clemson is still
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: a big name in the ACC.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. Massive, massive game.
• 17:14

• 17:17
