Yesterday's game was about as much fun you could have while still losing. It was a great game to see and bet at. Our guys played hard and stayed in the game till the very end.
Prior to yesterday, no team had scored more than 24 points on Clemson.
You could tell Clemson is the number 3 team in the nation. They are a little faster, a little deeper, a little bigger than State. But we were not totally out matched. We are making progress. The program is headed in the right direction.
Two years ago, State played an inspired home game but lost to Florida State by the exact same 56 - 41 score. Unfortunately, the next game was at Clemson where they beat us in a shutout. And we lost every game after that.
We are a much better team than two years ago.
This year, we have Boston College next (very winnable) and then, at Florida State. If we take care of business in Boston, then we'll be OK going into FSU. Even with a loss at FSU, State would look pretty good for the rest of the season and the final game against UNC-CHeats.
BTW - UNC has become a really good team. Their one loss against South Carolina was a fluke. If they played SC today - it would be a totally different game and UNC would be undefeated.
Oh, and Dook got screwed.

You're a real fan to find fun and real merit even when the home team doesn't end up on top. Sorry to have missed the nail-biting experience!
