I'd take a hard pass myself. They've won 5 in a row including a 3TD win over Wake and a 30-0 win over USC.
Clemson got a lot better as the season went along.
23rd vs 32nd
Not too far apart; however the best team they have played was NC State (which they won 45-42)……….Tennessee played Georgia, Bama, Mississippi, Pitt, and Kentucky which are all rated higher than NC State.
they have a goo O, not particularly good at rushing…..and their D is about 10 or 12 spots below Tennessee’s.
Tennessee is dead last at top….Wake is 100th.
Who knows what would happen……..however especially since Tennessee has improved (on O) from early in the season…….This looks like a really good matchup……..and one that “looks” like it favors Tennessee.
Losing to Clemson would hurt though, and right now I think the chance we lose a match up with them is pretty good. We need to get to 8-5.I agree but their QB is a big straight-line runner, not a juker so where we have had trouble with good shifty running QB's. I see no problem in that respect to U, if that matchup happened. It would also look better going into recruiting beating Clemson than beating Wake Forest just because the name buzzing better with recruits.
I don’t know, I think with our offense, we could beat them. At least it would be a good game, and Coach Hype could show some recruits that we are playing tougher, stronger, and the atmosphere has changed around here.I'd take a hard pass myself. They've won 5 in a row including a 3TD win over Wake and a 30-0 win over USC.

Very true. I’d like to see it, would be a great challenge. People would expect us to lose so we’d only gain big momentum if we won and that would surely help with recruiting the Clemson area.I'd take a hard pass myself. They've won 5 in a row including a 3TD win over Wake and a 30-0 win over USC.

I got called out pretty good for saying the same thing a few weeks ago. Clemson is a much better team than they were a month ago. If we had played them in October we would’ve won by double digits. I think right now would be a different story.I'd take a hard pass myself. They've won 5 in a row including a 3TD win over Wake and a 30-0 win over USC.
