Louisville at Clemson thread

[AirForceHog]

I will say I am not overly impressed with Watson's accuracy.

[Atlhogfan1]

Same as the SEC.
Clemson is the favored team and Louisville will have to overcome some bad calls and no calls to win.
Clemson has a handful of jersey just about every play on the Louisville receivers.
And the guy choking Jackson should have been ejected.

And penalties and turnovers and a defense on pace to give up nearly 600 yards 614 yards. 

[AirForceHog]

Way to end the half.

[hoglady]

this is how games get called when the officials think youre an [CENSORED] lol. louisville is not getting treated fairly on the pi no calls.

It happens to us all the time in SEC - no matter who the players are or who our coach is.
It always depends on which team is on the other side of the ball.

[AirForceHog]

Well almost halftime

[gchamblee]

damn that was a nice drive by clemson

[Albert Einswine]

Bobby's team got choke slammed in the 2nd quarter, no pun intended.

[hoglady]

And penalties and turnovers and a defense on pace to give up nearly 600 yards. 

Oh I know.
I said earlier they weren't handling the crowd well at all.
Playing scared and nervous.

[Buff]

I will say I am not overly impressed with Watson's accuracy.

When the receiver has to go to his knees to catch the ball, that's a "great throw" according to Kirk's smug ass.

[Albert Einswine]

73 yards in 30 seconds.

There was a pun intended there

i dont really buy into that theory. in that florida game when mallet was our qb we got screwed so bad it had to be intentional. however, the officials are just like players. they are just as prone to making mistakes as a player is. they have to see it to call it and i think they miss a lot because they have a lot to watch for. i think louisville is getting screwed on the pi no calls because they think petrino is an ass, but i dont think they would have ignored the choking if they saw that.

[Atlhogfan1]

First half was like BP's visits to Bryant Denny.  Still a lot of football left though and game is in reach. 

[hoglady]

Got to give credit to the Clemson defense.
They are playing lights out no doubt.
Louisville players will have to toughen up if they are going to stay in the game.
Need to give as good as they are getting - and they haven't done that yet.

[Albert Einswine]

There was a pun intended there

Truly there wasn't. I used that term in a stream of consciousness not even thinking of the earlier choking deal, and added the disclaimer at the end after realizing it.

[Gonzo]

Pretty good game at the half imo. Two top 5s, home team with a more experienced QB getting the better of it do far, not too surprising. Should be a good finish

Go Hogs! Beat Bama!

[gchamblee]

im hoping louisville can come back and win this. i hate to see lamar ruin his shot at a heisman but damn clemson looks good.

[gchamblee]

there we go! TD! cardinals

[AirForceHog]

Blah.....UL scored.

[gchamblee]

Blah.....UL scored.

[Atlhogfan1]

This is why I hate these offenses.  3rd and short and out of shotgun. 

Louisville catching some early breaks.

[AirForceHog]

Well that was a FUBAR 3rd down

[wildhogman]

Well that was a FUBAR 3rd down

They stole that play from our playbook in the section marked goal line offense

[AirForceHog]

They stole that play from our playbook in the section marked goal line offense

Well they need to throw it out! So should the Razorbacks.

[Atlhogfan1]

Well that was a poor play call. 

[wildhogman]

Well that was a poor play call. 

Looks like both teams borrowed from our goal line offense

You must not be watching closely if you think Clemson is the only one being allowed to hold.  There are some outright muggings on both sides of the ball.  At this point I'd be pissed to be called for it because they've allowed both teams to freely do it.

Little #1 for Louisville holds like he is a wr for TCU.  No wonder Jackson gets so many yards. 

[AirForceHog]

This game will be really chippy by the end, if it stays close.

[Atlhogfan1]

Designated cramper 

[mckinneyhog5]

Big game boobie

[Atlhogfan1]

Well the cramper killed the momentum.  Another break for Louisville this half. 

[Albert Einswine]

Clemson goes from being offensively stagnant to looking unstoppable.

And there's a bad turnover inside the 10.

[Albert Einswine]

Louisville takes the Clemson turnover and drives to a first and goal.

[Dr. Starcs]

4 turnovers for each team and nearing double digit penalties for each team.

Ugly.

[Albert Einswine]

Louisville touchdown. 28-26

[mckinneyhog5]

 

Louisville touchdown. 28-26

26-28   

[Albert Einswine]

26-28   

28-26 Clemson

[hoglady]

Well - at least Louisville came back out in the second half and is making a game out of it.
It's a turnover fest - whoever loses will be kicking themselves.

[Albert Einswine]

Charlie Strong left a solid defensive foundation at Louisville. Bobby isn't into that so much.

Charlie could sure use some of that defense at Texas - their D is horrible.
When the ESPN ticker says you won't be fired during the season, you stand a pretty good chance of getting fired after the season.

[Atlhogfan1]

Clemson with the cramper now.  Momentum killers. 

[Gonzo]

Charlie Strong left a solid defensive foundation at Louisville. Bobby isn't into that so much.

Yeah, his defenses at Arkansas never got any better

/sarcasm off


Go Hogs! Beat Bama!

[Atlhogfan1]

Great catch by Smith or that was a pick 6. 

[hoglady]

Let's see how Clemson responds to losing the lead.
Don't know what Petrino said to his players at half time, but he got their attention.

[Ben]

A petrino team has forced 5 turnovers ON DEFENSE....

Get saved yall...

[Hogz87]

And Watson throws a pass right to a Louisville DB.  Louisville is about to win this.

Clemson giving the ball to Louisville like it's candy on Halloween.

[Atlhogfan1]

Watson has made some poor throws. 

[Albert Einswine]

Brent Venables' vaunted defense has collapsed. Gohogs1091 may be on suicide watch.

[Hogz87]

Make it 26 unanswered for Louisville.
