Game Thread: Clemson at Virginia (ESPN)

[tshirt]

7-7 at the moment

Clemson favored by 18

Athlon Sports:

"In a slight surprise, a matchup of a 7-1 team (Clemson) against a 2-6 squad (Virginia) doesn’t have the biggest point spread of the week...For Virginia to hang around, getting pressure on quarterback Tajh Boyd is a must. Clemson has allowed 21 sacks this year, so expect defensive coordinator Jon Tenuta to bring the pressure against Boyd."

Pivotal Players

DreQuan Hoskey/Tim Harris, CB, Virginia
With Demetrious Nicholson questionable to play, Hoskey and Harris will be assigned the task of trying to slow down Clemson receiver Sammy Watkins. Hoskey has six starts under his belt, recording 22 tackles and three pass breakups this year. Harris, a true freshman, has three starts and 13 tackles to his credit. Stopping Watkins and quarterback Tajh Boyd will be a difficult task, and it's up to Hoskey and Harris to eliminate any big plays from the Clemson passing attack."

I wonder what year that map was made? Pre Reloutionary War, but after Ohio was annexed from Virginia.

Back when "from sea to shining sea" meant the mississippi river...

Thanx


I was wrong looking at it closer, the southern part of Ohio is still part of Virginia on that map.

Pretty evident FSUs big win was VASTLY overrated. Same with Miami today

28-7 Clemson and it looks like our Defense has worn down.

Sorry Obx...For some reason, Clem-tech just LOVES to run it up on Virginia.

UVA fans have nobody to blame but themselves. We did this when we ran Welsh out of Charlottesville, ever since then it has been a slow fall down the hill.
