He turns a 3* QB and walkon WR and a bunch of other guys into a very potent Offense. I thought Clemson made a mistake years ago when they kept him after his interim period - that was clearly wrong. It's heresy and neg away, but his Offense is more effective than JH's at this point. Spread with enough power running and intermediate routes to tear up most defenses. Not sure when that dynamic will tip (especially with their commit by Trevor Lawrence who looks like Elway incarnate), but give Dabo credit for building a winning offense.

Anybody else holding out a small hope for Josh Jackson to graduate transfer to Michigan for his final year? Hopefully we don't need him, and probably won't, but it would be pretty cool to see.

Still trying to recover from "Enter Sandman". Such a cool entrance (although Michigan is better obviously). 

Tonight, we are Hokies. Beat Clemson!

We are also Scarlet Knights...I guess?

I was really looking forward to this game, but if VT isn't careful, this will get ugly, very fast.  They don't look settled in at all and Clemson looks like they stepped off the bus hitting on all cylinders.

So are we ready to admit our Dline is going to bully Ohio States Oline? Or should I remain humble for right now?

So far, IMO...

Bama, Clemson, Oklahoma, Georgia have been the best teams in the country followed closely by PSU and Washington.

I put us in the 3rd tier with Wisconsin, OSU, and TCU.

But I see these teams all a notch above everyone else. We'll see.

You're buying into the hype.  Georgia has beaten Samford, Appalachian State, won at Notre Dame by 1, and pummeled MSU (NTMSU) and Tennessee.

Well, Tennessee is awful, and MSU's claim to fame is throttling an LSU team that is currently down 17-0 to the Trojans (NTT).  If you took the names off of the jerseys and ignored the Ess-Eee-See types, I don't think you'd have them in your top 4.  I'd put Michigan, Washington, PSU, and probably Wisconsin all ahead of Georgia.

Five star recruit... surrounded by other five star recruits... play for one of the most storied programs of all time... play in the supposed roughest, baddest conference in the country... commit to a national championship winning coach... he gets fired... school hires unqualified man based strictly on personal likeability... okay, let's make the best of it... rough start, get shellacked by Mississippi State... what's going on?... September night game against tomato can... perfect game to put it together... play night game in front of 102,000... get asses kicked in front of the whole country by a team full of guys with Christmas ornament helmets... their school even shares a name with a Peewee's Playhouse character... realize that we're forced to wear purple uniforms every game... want to die...

I was at cedar point for halloweekends/ family/wifey weekend. Some woman decked out in OSU gear and buckeye necklace has a "Beat Rutgers" button. I first told her to quit picking on our "rival" and then told her she needed a point spread or a score on that button or else it was a bit redundant.

OK pollsters so now that we know UGA got way too much credit for beating an overrated Miss St team that beat a garbage LSU team, can we put them back behind us where they belong? #SECBIAS
