JJ is not fast enough to be Williams. The dog in him is off the charts, though. Still wish he was a safety. He could really mess people up physically back there along with picking off passes like crazy. But I know that ship has sailed.

I'm not much of a Dabo fan, but I love how he responded to Colin Cowherds criticism when he called Clemson a fraud before the NC game:

"At the end of the day, we left no doubt tonight. You know, we wanted to play Alabama because now y’all got to change your stories, you got to change the narrative. Y’all got to mix it up. The guy that called us a fraud, ask Alabama if we’re a fraud. Was the name Colin Cowherd? I never met him, don’t know him. Ask Alabama if we’re a fraud. Ask Ohio State if we’re a fraud. Ask Oklahoma if we’re a fraud. The only fraud is that guy, ’cause he didn’t do his homework. I hope y’all print that.”

I feel like that was a foolish move by Dabo. He loses his entire offense, has to compete with a much improved and mostly returned fsu squad and his leadership is gone. next year he might go 8-4 or 9-3 and guess who will be hollering in the mic. Colin Cowherd will be. Colin will be on that message all year long and the perception will be worse than taking your trophy and ignoring the national pundits.

I think Butch should ignore them too. I think he did a great job ignoring Haneys bull**** piece when Haney was requesting an interview. Don't feed those dbags because the moment things go sour, they jump all over you and thump their chests about it using your own words. "You've lost two already, your a fraud. A flash in the pan". it'll be said if he loses 3-4 next year.

I would agree with that if he called Dabo a fraud, but he called this Clemson team a fraud. And they proved that was false last night. Even if they went 8-4 next year Dabo's statement still stands true that THIS Clemson team was not a fraud.

They are still loaded next year. They return 4 of the OL, most of their WR's (they played in the Championship last year without Williams and all those guys are back), they have Feaster waiting for his chance at RB. They are loaded at QB with Bryant, Cooper and now Johnson.

7 starters back on the defense. They will be right up there again next year. They have 5*s like Tre Lamar that haven't played yet.

Exactly. Their '15 and '16 classes were best yet and '17 is following.

2016 class was 11 (247 composite) which was below their 2015 class. Their rankings have been very similar to Vols. Development of their 3 and 4 *'s plus Watson made that team elite (and aggressive coaching)

Guarantano will be great for us like Watson was for Clemson. He will win a National Championship before he's done! I'm calling it now. Butchbis upgrading the staff in a big way, JG will live up to the hype, and before he goes to the NFL he will get it done!

JJ will be our Mike's Williams and when Butch gets Thompson, he'll be our better version of Renfroe!

JJ is talented, but not anywhere near Mike Williams. Should have been Tee Higgins 😏😏

I love JJ, but he is no Mike Williams.

JJ seems a little short on speed but he's got the size and strength, and more importantly, he's got that dog in him. I think he's got the potential to end up at least on par with some of those big WR that Carroll put in the NFL while he was at USC. I haven't watched Mike Williams enough this year to even compare.

Exactly. However, Watson has been the #1 QB for two seasons. He lifted the team on his shoulders on O as well as emotionally overall. They knew as long as they had #4 they could win every game.

The strength of their team is mostly made up of 4 and 5 stars.

JJ also has great hands, Nebraska game notwithstanding. He is very reliable

That won't matter to Colin. He will mock Clemson every chance he gets. He gets a national microphone every week day and then some. He can control that narrative better than Dabo with local media since Clemson isn't a national brand. Just seems worthless for the 1 day diss. jmo though

Just now catching up and reading last night's posts after the game. Not sure why everyone is so happy Bama lost, just means we have a minimum of 2 more years of Saban, he isn't leaving until he surpasses Bear. The loss will have no effect on his recruiting.
I was at the point to where I was ready for him to get his and get the heck out of college football, best thing for us. JMO

It's very simple. I freakin' hate Bama with every fiber of my being. Nothing is guaranteed. Saban might not win even one more.
