I'm a Clemson fan, but I think your analysis is fair. It's gonna come down to whether or not our defense can prevent the explosives and the run, and whether or not our offense gets stuffed. We'll see. I think it will be closer than people are giving it credit for, but who knows. Anything can happen.
@@joecuster6926 100% agreed. Wesco, Moore, and Williams are going to be huge for Clemson in this game. If they get open even just every now and then, Clemson can stay in the game. We don't need to hit every downfield pass, we just need to do it when it matters!
@@znfyrepsGeorgia vs Clemson game says otherwise. Georgia is not as good as they were the past 3 years but still heads and shoulders above Clemson. A&M is clearly better as well. Clemson is only in because they beat a weak, non battle tested SMU team in the ACC. Miami has more reason to be in than Clemson and they’re a joke too.
One of the few times I actually agree with you. One thing I would point out is we have had issues in the secondary with explosive plays for a long time. The difference is we used to have phenomenal line play so you didn't see it as much.
Josh, we Clemson fans love the bulletin board material that you so graciously give us. Please continue to pick against us all the way to championship, just like all of the other talking heads. All it does is fire this team up! Let’s go!!!!
Well thats because the entire game was placed on defense... 3rd and outs were happening constantly due to injured runningbacks which forced an air raid style of offense which is easy to notice a defensive coordinator because it's the only thing possible... SMU got whatever they wanted in the second half due to turnovers being caused because of no runningback.
Clemson came out and played a great half of a game and then almost let SMU take it away if Clemson comes out and plays a full game they will be the next national champion
@@znfyreps - SMU's QB is pretty awesome as well. After early errors, SMU settled down and rolled. If the game had gone to OT, SMU would have won, but that kickoff return and that kicker won the trophy for Clemson.
As a UGA fan i dont think clemson will be able to pressure ewers the way we did but I think clemson will have more success throwing the ball down the field than we did.
Texas will look like a completely different version of what we have seen lately after the loss to Georgia in Atlanta and the sec snubbing players for all conference. Texas beats Clemson by 21
don't be fooled by the numbers, clemson is still a defensive team. The problem is the offense is so hit or miss they will either be 3 and out in less than 2 minutes or will quickly get a touchdown from a long pass and be off the field in 2 minutes. With no running game, the offense can't maintain these long possessions and so the defense gets worn down by the 4th quarter. Their defense to start the game was the entire reason clemson went up 2 touchdowns in the first place. don''t be fooled by the numbers, the offense (and special teams) is what's killing the team.
Watched the SC game, for a defensive team, you've got some seriously bad tackling. If SC isn't turning the ball over inside the 30 on three different drives, that game isn't nearly as close as the score indicates. What it really looks like on offense, the first drives of each half Clemson comes out and has success until the other team sees what your offense is doing. Then they make adjustments and the Clemson coaching staff spend the rest of the half looking lost. It really seems like the same of bubble screen Dabo approach. He gets stuck on a narrow minded approach to something and just can't help himself to change what is going on. (see the transfer portal).
As a Texas fan i wasn’t sold on Sark until the recent program building aspect. His playcalling/game management/adapting to playcalling is pretty poor in my opinion.
Josh has officially declared war on Clemson Nation… but he knows the consequences of being wrong - you can see it in his eyes. Dabo will posterize JP if Clemson beats Texas. 😂
Josh wants to give Dabo ammunition at this point. He is begging for them to return to form and give him good football and better offseason discussion content
Ewers can't outgun Clemson. Despite the shenanigans the last few seasons, it's still Clemson, and it's still Dabo. They've been much more reliable in the post-season, over the last decade, than Texas. If Sark and Texas want to win, it'll come down to putting Arch in the game. Sorry, but let's call a spade, a spade. Ewers has been playing like he's Steward Denethor of Gondor, and Arch Manning is the rightful King, Aragorn. Sorry for the nerdy reference but that helps illustrate my point.
I agree. USC alum but watched a lot of Clemson games this year because my friend went there & we chat college football a lot. Ewers will not win this game.
being a SC and saying this is absolute insanity lmao, yes Quinn hasn’t been playing his best ball, but let’s remember, Clemson is currently 0-2 this season against SEC teams, and 0-3 against top 25 ranked teams… they cannot win big games. Texas will make Clemson look like dog poop lmao, they aren’t good.
@@kjf1973no it’s not that insanity, it’s being truthful and a correction….Clemson is 0-2 against SEC who’ve played someone, so we have an idea how good or bad they are. It’s still Dabo
Sark dials it back in the fourth on the road to avoid mistakes and just get out with a win. At home there is no taking the foot off the gas. For a lot of these guys this is their last game at DKR and a "win or go home" scenario. This game solidly favors a Texas win.
Well that is true but let's not forget there's been poor QB1 execution & play along with turnovers which only exacerbates the scoring even for a 3rd year starter! No reason not to have put up 27-31+ points on Ga. and let it loose against Clemson!
@wrenwillow9430 Keith Adams, Jarvis Green & EZE are no slouches! They are very very capable backs. EZE runs a 10.42 100m at 210lbs, he is CJ Spiller 2.0
Die hard Texas fan. I’m 50-50 on this game and any that are played after this game. It all comes down to Ewers and Sark. If Ewers starts slow, it comes down to how long Sark goes ride or die with an injured/gimpy Ewers in these win or go home games. If we lose, the big money Orange Bloods will start moving the water behind the scenes. They are not dropping NIL money to not win and see Arch on the bench while an injured Ewers performs haplessly. I already have tickets for the National Championship game, and I’m hoping The Longhorns get there but, I’m not drinking the kool-aid or blind to Ewers performance history in big games. 🤘Hook ‘Em Horns!🤘 🤘🐂 🏈
Everyone is quick to blame Ewers but refuses to acknowledge the fact oline committing the amount of penalties they do kills drives. Everytime we have momentum and start driving the oline commits a false start or a hold setting us behind the chains
@@JennUHLexyup same as history has shown Sark has no and I mean ZERO interest in pulling ewers. I’m rooting for Texas but I’m not confident in ewers. He’s proving he can’t show up in big games.
@@daltonpalmer3897 Agree on the false starts. The really good news moving forward is we no longer have to sorry about SEC Officials calling ANY Texas game. That will help level the game out for Texas. Not saying the calls cost the game in Atlanta, but there were 4-5 calls that should not have been made.
Texas really missed CJ Baxter this year which in my mind messed up Sark’s plan for the season. Other backs are really good but better served to spell Baxter
Honestly, this is a year I would have been satisfied with the BCS. Oregon vs Georgia. Oregon perfect in the new conference (does OSU really deserve a chance?) and Georgia won the SEC fair and square, beating the runner up twice. None of the other playoff teams really speak to me as "potentially the best team in the country." It will be good TV though
What it should tell you is the odds makers need that spread to get money on both teams. That is how THEY make their money. No thought to how the game plays out, just how the money gets bet.
texas will probably win but continue to struggle to move the ball after halftime and struggle in the red zone because our overrated "offensive minded" coach still hasn't figured out those problems....while leaving the more athletic qb on the bench.
100 percent. Texas could be 2 tds ahead and still blow it. They take the foot off the gas early everytime and barely gets by or lose. Forever shooting themselves in the foot with penalties and the missed field goals gotta clean up curly sue
What’s that I smell.. *sniff, sniff* is that…fumes? Fumes from past glory? Is someone srsly raising some distant past glory nonsense as a reason they’re going to win this week? For shame. SMH
I think Mr. Pate has a handle on it. Texas should win. Texas has been playing a lot better than Clemson has. But if Ewers struggles, and the Longhorns commit some dumb penalties, my Tigers can keep the game close, and then anything can happen.
Josh lets not disrespect clemson. I know its the "thing to do" but everybody hates clemson for some reason, yet clemson has been around whether in the front row or a few back but always in the picture for atleast 7 years now.
My concern as a Clemson fan for this game is Clemson’s ability to run the ball. If they have to pass the entire game, I think they will be in trouble. Clemson’s defense is capable of keeping this game close, so Klubnick is going to have to have his best game as a college player for them to win this game.
Texas played without discipline in SEC championship game. DABO has a lot of experience getting teams ready for games like this. Their problem is a deficit in overall talent compared to Texas. But they will be ready. IMO, this game is difficult to predict.
The thing not being talked about enough is the high profile teams Texas has beaten, a big part has been off of turnovers. If Clemson doesn’t shoot themselves in the foot, I could see this being a lot closer than 11 or 13.
I’m a Texas fan. I don’t have a lot of faith in Quinn or the discipline of the OL. Even Arch is a wildcard. You expect him to come in dig Quinn out of every hole? You know how difficult that is? Look at when he came in game 1 vs Georgia. The defense was already pinning their ears back. Texas should easily win this game but I wouldn’t bet money on it. lol The game can go either way. Hook em.
I think you are confusing the word "team" with "program." Are the 2024 Clemson & Texas "teams," big game teams? Sometimes. Are the Clemson & Texas programs, big game programs? Absolutely.
What do you call it when a team that didn't beat one single ranked team all season, plays a team that didn't even play one single ranked team all season? The ACC Championship.
This Clemson team is nowhere near as talented as in 2018. Texas BIG in this one in Austin. Clemson will be 0 for three versus the SEC with TWO blowout losses.
Like i just said to another comment clemson has played some great football and if they can put together four quarters of a game together then there is no one avle to hold them back but they have to played their best for the entire game
I think Clemson has played 3 defenses in the top 60 all year. Everyone is going on and on about their stats, but look at their schedule and how could any team not come out looking good on paper against those terrible teams. Bottom line, good defenses make Clemson 1 dimensional and shut their offense down.
Quintrevion + quinn gonna combine for 450 yards on these bozos. Texas wins 34-10. The quinn hate is also undeserved. Hes a top 2 qb remaining in this playoff and has everything it takes to bring this team to the end.
Klubnik has consistently played better than Ewers OR Manning all season except week 1. And don’t tell me they haven’t played anyone because Texas hasn’t played great competition either.
100%. Ewers is an elite talent, and all of the haters will not appreciate just how good he is - his accuracy, the touch he has on the ball, and just how damn well he executes this offense - until he's gone. He makes it look too easy, so people think it must be. History will be against the haters on this one.
@@reecypeecy9909Texas has played much tougher competition all year. The ACC is struggling to be a real conference right now. Y’all played 1 middle of the pack SEC team and think you’re on the same level
It’s all about 21 points. If horns get more than 21 points before the half, it’s all done but the turkey. But if not, Clemson may have a shot. Not by much.
Texas fan here and its irritating me how much the texas fans are saying we gunna throttle clemson. Bro with that attitude gunna lose 17-16 or some bullshit
Im gonna stay Clemson does really good and maybe even stay ahead for most of the game. Then id say either the refs get involved or a big turnover swings the game and Texas pulls it out at the last minute.
Basically spot on. Texas better not let them stay close or else they will be the ones more likely to make a mistake than Clemson even if they’re suppose to be the superior team.
Judging by what I’ve seen this year. With Ewers at QB they’re Top 15 but with Manning they’re Top 5 and maybe even Top 3. Ewers struggled against pretty much everyone this season.
Goddamn you people and your horrible takes on college football. Thank you for not allowing the fact your an idiot to hinder your finger from typing and giving everyone a great laugh while reassuring our self confidence
@@nolandavis9040 I think Arch will be a great QB for Texas the next two years. But the two games he started were against some very weak teams so we still do not know for sure what Arch can do. Ewers is more than good enough to win it all this year.
If Clem can stay out of their own way (turnovers) they have a good chance of winning this game. Neither Clem nor Tx has had a demanding schedule this year. Clem lost all of the games they played against teams with a winning record except one. Tx won all but Ga games but struggled against the likes of Vanderbilt, Arknasas, and Tx A & M. I'll take Clem with the points.
Texas is definitely better than Clemson on average, but on a given day Clemson could beat them, and they could definitely stay within 11. I am taking the points and Clemson.
@raymondsublett3108 I'm not convinced. I think they are very competitive for sure but they are not quite an Alabama, Georgia, type of shoe in team like say of the last 6 or 7 years. I can see them either doing like the did the last two years or falling just outside of the playoffs with 3 losses. Perhaps afterthought was a bad word for me to use. I'm not convinced Sarkison is all that.
@@PowidzMalwaSark has taken the team to back to back conference championship games and back to back playoffs. He’s doing things that haven’t been done since the Mack Brown era. He’s bringing in the #1 recruiting class this year after bringing in the #3 class last year. This season has not been ideal either. Losing 2 of your top backs a couple weeks before the season starts changed a lot of how the offense was ran this season.
@daltonpalmer3897 Sark has done better than I thought he would at Texas for sure. Im still not sold that they are a perennial power under him though yet.
Clemson is in a downtrend that will continue. VERY weak schedule and mediocre recruiting. Clemson backed into the ACC win against a minor league team. Pathetic and way overrated
never been a longhorn fan, NEVER, they single handed ruined the SWC, and the big 12, hope they don't do the same to the SEC., their partly to blame for Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, A&M leaving, this is my opinion only
I don't Clemson has it right now. Texas can sellout against the pass and make Clemson beat them on the ground. Knowing they can't because their RBs have been decimated this year. Mafah is playin hurt. He's doin what he can, but he can't run with anywhere close to normal power.
Clemson oline has been under sold against SC and UGA they gave up a total of only 3 sacks. I think Cade will have more time then expected in the pocket
Josh. you have Georgia winning it all. Texas losing to Georgia in OT, doesn't diminish Texas. The backup QB and Kirby adjustments gave edge. Texas prepared for Beck, not the backup.
Can Texas Execute for 4 Qtrs against good coaching?Can Texas protect the ball for 4 Qtrs? When we see that we see the best team in College football this year.

Texas needs to make fgs and then we wouldn't be talking about losing to Georgia. Simple. Get pts when they are there for the taking

that leads to a one dimentional offence much easier to defend

What do you call it when a team that didn't beat one single ranked team all season, plays a team that didn't even play one single ranked team all season?
The ACC Championship.
Going to hear short loud fart and it's finished at quickly as it began
These are the same folks who had Clemson getting blown out by Bama in the 2018 Natty.
clemson is good at digging when they need to
Ahhh, that was 7 years ago.
This Clemson team is nowhere near as talented as in 2018. Texas BIG in this one in Austin. Clemson will be 0 for three versus the SEC with TWO blowout losses.
Don’t bet on Texas to cover HAHAHAHA
We can look at previous games and stats and rosters all we want, but like Josh says, games are not played on paper.
Rat poison Josh, you’re giving us rat poison brother
its only poison if you eat it clemson can win this and they are very good at showing up when needed
Texas should win but -11.5 too many point. Not touching this. But if I had to place this bet, I will take Clemson +11.5 for entertainment only.
I know a lot of Texas fans who are really worried about the game.
Like i just said to another comment clemson has played some great football and if they can put together four quarters of a game together then there is no one avle to hold them back but they have to played their best for the entire game
Texas has not played there best game yet. If they ever come together & Play a close to perfect game they will beat anyone
Clemson with the upset over Texas…. Texas hasn’t played any body except Georgia and lost twice to them
@Liam___ohara___ Texas outplayed Georgia the whole game. Missed fgs and penalties in the red zone hurt Texas. Clemson isn't close to Georgia btw.
Clemson is 2-3 vs teams with a winning record. Both of those wins are by 3 points vs Pitt and SMU. Clemson fans are sounding very Aggie right now.
@@raymondsublett3108I’d argue UGA outplayed Texas in the 2nd half.
@@courtneysimpson7942you could argue that but no matter what your opinion means nothing
I think Clemson has played 3 defenses in the top 60 all year. Everyone is going on and on about their stats, but look at their schedule and how could any team not come out looking good on paper against those terrible teams. Bottom line, good defenses make Clemson 1 dimensional and shut their offense down.
You should throw that model in the trash. Your picks the whole year are an absolute joke. Picked Texas twice against UGA 😂
Laughable
Here is what’s going to happen. Clemson is going to score 21, 24 points comeback second half Texas ties it but Clemson squeeze out the win.
NEVER pick Texas to cover it rarely works out
signed, Texas fan for 60 years
Quintrevion + quinn gonna combine for 450 yards on these bozos. Texas wins 34-10.
The quinn hate is also undeserved. Hes a top 2 qb remaining in this playoff and has everything it takes to bring this team to the end.
Klubnik has consistently played better than Ewers OR Manning all season except week 1. And don’t tell me they haven’t played anyone because Texas hasn’t played great competition either.
100%. Ewers is an elite talent, and all of the haters will not appreciate just how good he is - his accuracy, the touch he has on the ball, and just how damn well he executes this offense - until he's gone. He makes it look too easy, so people think it must be. History will be against the haters on this one.
you’re delusional
@@reecypeecy9909Texas has played much tougher competition all year. The ACC is struggling to be a real conference right now. Y’all played 1 middle of the pack SEC team and think you’re on the same level
@@tylerleest6458 "middle of the pack SEC team"? You mean South Carolina? lol SC would've beaten Texas had they played.
If Texas plays their best ball it could be like 34-10 but it’ll end up being more like 24-16 or something
It’s all about 21 points. If horns get more than 21 points before the half, it’s all done but the turkey. But if not, Clemson may have a shot. Not by much.
Texas fan here and its irritating me how much the texas fans are saying we gunna throttle clemson.
Bro with that attitude gunna lose 17-16 or some bullshit
Texas is a big game program without a big game QB. An incompetent offense with a dominant defense are things that don’t mix well
What’s the turnover margin analysis?
Best chance for UT to win is if Arch plays 15 minutes or more
Im gonna stay Clemson does really good and maybe even stay ahead for most of the game. Then id say either the refs get involved or a big turnover swings the game and Texas pulls it out at the last minute.
Texas is going to WAX Clemson.
Could be interesting….Clemson may be in a bit over their head! 👊🏻🏈
The game is on TBS and not TNT
Wrong the game is on tnt and max
Money line Clemson, take a shot , great odds!
Mafah’s shoulder won’t make it through this game.
Texas 38-20, and that's with a 4Q TD to put the total over. I project Texas -12 on my model and lean that way, but Texas team total O31.5 is the play.
Basically spot on. Texas better not let them stay close or else they will be the ones more likely to make a mistake than Clemson even if they’re suppose to be the superior team.
A couple friends told me that you have an all big ten championship game this year. Is this true?
as long as Ewers is the QB Clemson has a great chance.
Texas fan here, and you're not wrong..
Ewers is str8 @$$ 😂😂😂
Judging by what I’ve seen this year. With Ewers at QB they’re Top 15 but with Manning they’re Top 5 and maybe even Top 3.
Ewers struggled against pretty much everyone this season.
Goddamn you people and your horrible takes on college football. Thank you for not allowing the fact your an idiot to hinder your finger from typing and giving everyone a great laugh while reassuring our self confidence
@@nolandavis9040 I think Arch will be a great QB for Texas the next two years. But the two games he started were against some very weak teams so we still do not know for sure what Arch can do. Ewers is more than good enough to win it all this year.
If Clem can stay out of their own way (turnovers) they have a good chance of winning this game. Neither Clem nor Tx has had a demanding schedule this year. Clem lost all of the games they played against teams with a winning record except one. Tx won all but Ga games but struggled against the likes of Vanderbilt, Arknasas, and Tx A & M. I'll take Clem with the points.
Everybody has a top defense when they play Texas' anemic offense.
Would be hilarious if Clemson beats Texas
Drop Penn State vs SMU soon
Texas is definitely better than Clemson on average, but on a given day Clemson could beat them, and they could definitely stay within 11. I am taking the points and Clemson.
@oneordinarycitizen Texas is going to bury Clemson
I think you need to not sleep on Clemson and let them spot the ball.
clemson by 7.5
🤣😂😂😂🤣
The dumbassery in this statement is great😂
@@thekey1682maybe it's ironic
I think both of these teams are right on the verge of being perennial powers or afterthoughts. Im leaning more toward afterthoughts.
@PowidzMalwa after thoughts? Texas is going to be even better next year
@raymondsublett3108 I'm not convinced. I think they are very competitive for sure but they are not quite an Alabama, Georgia, type of shoe in team like say of the last 6 or 7 years. I can see them either doing like the did the last two years or falling just outside of the playoffs with 3 losses. Perhaps afterthought was a bad word for me to use. I'm not convinced Sarkison is all that.
@@PowidzMalwaSark has taken the team to back to back conference championship games and back to back playoffs. He’s doing things that haven’t been done since the Mack Brown era. He’s bringing in the #1 recruiting class this year after bringing in the #3 class last year. This season has not been ideal either. Losing 2 of your top backs a couple weeks before the season starts changed a lot of how the offense was ran this season.
@daltonpalmer3897 Sark has done better than I thought he would at Texas for sure. Im still not sold that they are a perennial power under him though yet.
Clemson is in a downtrend that will continue. VERY weak schedule and mediocre recruiting. Clemson backed into the ACC win against a minor league team. Pathetic and way overrated
We destroyed half our opponents so ranking our defense is ranking FRESHMAN
if ewers is playing and we get explosive i dont think its that crazy to think clemson can win
I truly believe if Arch Manning had a different last name Sark would have used him more in the CCG. He's scared shitless of Archmania
never been a longhorn fan, NEVER, they single handed ruined the SWC, and the big 12, hope they don't do the same to the SEC., their partly to blame for Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, A&M leaving,
this is my opinion only
Thank you for doing your part in ruining the Josh Pate show by leaving ignorant comments like this, but it's just my opinion
I just don't want sketchy officiating like the SEC championship.
I don't Clemson has it right now. Texas can sellout against the pass and make Clemson beat them on the ground. Knowing they can't because their RBs have been decimated this year. Mafah is playin hurt. He's doin what he can, but he can't run with anywhere close to normal power.
Clemson oline has been under sold against SC and UGA they gave up a total of only 3 sacks. I think Cade will have more time then expected in the pocket
Put some money on the game if you dont believe in the point spread 😮😮
Think I will, it's juicy. Clemson is the second best team Texas has played. All those stats look good but were against bad teams.
Josh. you have Georgia winning it all. Texas losing to Georgia in OT, doesn't diminish Texas. The backup QB and Kirby adjustments gave edge. Texas prepared for Beck, not the backup.
Rhey prepared for Beck in game one and lost worse.
Hook em 🤘🏽
Paper will let you put anything on it. Paper said we'd have a female president next month.
Can Texas Execute for 4 Qtrs against good coaching?Can Texas protect the ball for 4 Qtrs? When we see that we see the best team in College football this year.
Can’t call them the best when they lost to the same team twice….
@philosophicaltheist7706 3rd times the charm. 😉
Please stop putting a "z" in Climpson's name.
Climpson can not stop the run.
Wes Goodwin needs to go when this season ends! Those Defensive stats are pathetic!
