Louisville vs Clemson Gamethread.

I agree we need to run the ball. Clemson is dead locked onto Lamar. There's three free rushers on almost every play. A screen call to keep them honest would be nice.
The D ain't exactly doing their job either. Clemson has left 10 points go by and they are not an offensive juggernaut.
Clemson is just a good darn team. They execute better...we can't stop them. You blink & they are in our territory quick.
The problem is we don't have a great defense this year. We may improve as the year goes on but this is about the best they can play right now. The object is to get it in the 4th qtr in a 1 score game and hope Lamar can bail us out. Clemson is the champs for a reason.
Dabo is playing Bobby like a fiddle right now. Petrino is being out coached big time.
It will be a long season. These guys will give up if they get stomped today like they did last year.
Really not sure, but don't understand when you have the best player on the field you continue to try to showcase he's improved as a passer. Just let Lamar showcase his athletic ability. He's not a pocket passer. Head scratcher. Oh well
Next time someone tells me how great our receivers are I'm going to puke or how talented our defense is.
If that's true then some coaches need to answer some questions.

They can still compete for the Orange bowl.
Yay......... consolation prize ......
SMH.
Effin Pathetic.
My thing is, when you're running a defensive scheme and it isn't working you gotta try something different and what we were trying tonight wasn't working.
They did Last year after an embarrassing loss. This version of Bobby isn't what I was hoping for.
Sad. It feels like the program took about 20 steps back tonight.
Very disappointing.
Very disappointing.
I'm quitting as a fan. I'm still confused about what I saw tonight. This is not Louisville football or Petrino of old.
I was stunned Lamar Jackson was in the game at the end against Clemson's 3rd string. Someone here please help me to understand. Was Petrino trying to help Lamar's confidence, or was he trying to pad his stats? I'm not being spiteful here, you just hardly ever see a coach do that.
I think Petrino was just trying to compete to the wire.
I would have yanked the entire 1st string.
I do think Petrino is somewhat locked in on stat padding of Lamar.
If he was trying to compete to the wire, why didn't he kick an onside kick when he had the chance. No way he comes back from a four score deficit half way through the 4th without an onside kick after the trash score. If you are going to be competitive, be competitive. Otherwise, you are just trying to pad stats that make it look better than the beat down that it was. I'm glad Lamar wasn't injured.
Padding stats for what ? Another Heisman . Lamar was never going to repeat.
If you watch football, despite the score, most teams use their first team the whole game.
Lamar played the whole game against FSU, save some kneel downs.,
I would have put in the 2nd string, however im not a 7 figure making coach.
I am glad to get out of Louisville with the 'W'. Lamar Jackson is like trying to catch a greased pig, and an incredibly quick one at that. With any other QB Clemson would have had four or five more sacks. Jackson incredible quickness and shiftiness allowed him him to not only avoid sacks, but to at least get outside of the pocked to throw it away. Good luck to Louisville the rest rest of the way. Please beat the Gamecock slayers Kentucky Wildcats this year!
Clemson does NOT use their first string the whole game. We were putting in the 2's as early as the second quarter to give them playing time. Dabo is about building depth and the only way to do that is play them, mix and match with the starters. You might be able to say playing the first team the whole game if they are losing or not winning or losing by 21+.
