FSU put it on LSU in that second half.

Had to punt at halftime & crash.
What a fantastic scoreline to wake up to.

Who are the players to watch tonight then lads? Any Clemson or Duke fans out there to offer insight
Paging @Carolina Red
@Carolina Red is your man
Just viewed the condensed second half. We haven't played as good a half since our natty run in during the 2013 season.
This is the first game for Clemson’s new OC, Garrett Riley, who was previously at TCU.
Clemson’s playmakers are QB Cade Klubnik & RBs Will Shipley and Phil Mafah. Briningstool at TE emerged as a good receiving threat last year, but there’s a lot of questions around the WR position, which is weird considering how good we were at WR for about a 10 year period.
Clemson’s defense is led by DE Xavier Thomas, LB Jeremiah Trotter, and CB Nate Wiggins.
Duke’s offense has a new QB in Riley Leonard and new featured RB in Jaylon Coleman. They do have an old OL (I think 4 of them are Seniors / Redshirt Seniors) that should help the new backfield.
The Duke defense is led by DT Dewayne Carter and LB Shaka Heyward. Their secondary is young though, so it’ll be interesting to see if Clemson’s WRs can get it together and put up a strong game against them.
Was watching a college football show on ESPN today and it was said that Colorado had 51 transfers this year. That's insane. The panelists were discussing how this could change how schools view the transfer portal, even more so if Colorado challenges for the conference title this season.
Thanks man, looking forward to it. Always followed college football from a distance but getting into it a lot more this year.
Yup, no problem. Glad you’re getting into it!
Well this has been a poor start
Based on that quarter, Florida State will be your ACC Champs.
My opinion above hasn’t been changed
Ugly. Just ugly.
Wow, another scoreline I wasn't expected to see when I went to bed last night.
Woof, Clemson with so many mistakes. Credit to Duke though, their QB looked pretty good.
I was surprised with the QB play all weekend, is this the norm for CFB?

Riley Leonard is a stud. Duke's defense really surprised me. In games against big teams, Duke's always struggled to compete physically on defense. Not tonight. Clemson's offense was awful. Without the muffed punt, it likely would have been a shutout.

Dominate seems massive hyperbole considering Clemson had more yards, nearly twice the first downs, and a six-minute time of possession advantage. A blocked FG inside the 5 and two late turnovers inside their own half leading to two 4th quarter Duke touchdowns was the difference. Scoreline impresses the actual performance. But Clemson was sloppy and probably on their way to an iffy season. Duke might surprise though, that QB has something about him even though his passing was meh.
It's not as though Duke played a clean game. Duke had a bunch of silly penalties, including one that wiped out another interception. Clemson's only TD was a gift on a dumb mistake by the punt returner. I know Dabo likes the stats, but 80 yards for Clemson came down two scores in the 4th when Duke was prevent. Once Clemson got in the red zone, it was pretty clear that they didn't have the weapons they've had in the past.
Anyone seen this yet, 'BS High?'

Helps FSU out by not having to play against him, but the young man appeared to be treated with sustain by the NCAA. I’d rather we had to play against him, it seems a bit horseshit all around by the idiots in Indianapolis…

So he’s missing the whole season - what’s the reasoning behind this from the NCAA?
The story linked to in the tweet is a very detailed chronology of his travels & the NCAA's rule changes due to Covid.
I would fall well short of a decent explanation.
Love Mack Brown’s statement
Yep.
Shedur is a slippery kid, just like his old man.
This game certainly not having the fireworks of Colorado's matchup against TCU, perhaps Nebraska has a better defense.
Nebraska's QB is losing this game. And the HC is sticking with him, ffs. Maybe a halftime change.

Uh….. @Carolina Red you ok buddy?
I’m thankfully at a wrestling tournament, so I’m not having to watch it.
I’m worried for my dad and brother though.

Normal service seem to have returned.
Haven't watched either game, is Shadeur all that or is it scheme?
How do I secure the no.1 and 2 picks in my draft next year for caleb and Marvin Harrison.
navy-Wagner kicked off late and just got delayed in the third because a storm hit. I’m glad we drove this time
So far he’s been very good
I need to watch today’s highlights then.
Just a cool story all around.
Anyone know what his star ranking was coming out of high school?
He was a 3 star coming out of high school. Then was rated 4 stars as a transfer
He's looking pretty good so far but do wonder how much of that was he earned it in camp versus his dad was always going to give him the edge.
