what if Clemson beats Georgia in week one would that officially put to bed the notion that Dabo can't get it done in the current format of college football Tyler from Spartenburg won't be calling the next week I can promise you that now it would be massive for Clemson in the court of public opinion it would be enormous because people are gonna regardless of what happens with Georgia week one whether they win or lose people are going to know that Georgia has one of the best rosters in the sport so there's still even if they lost that game there's still plenty of meat on the bone for them to get back in the good graces but it if it unveils some possible liabilities that's something that I would be really interested to see but you think back to just how rare a Georgia loss is they've lost just twice in the last three seasons both of those loss came in the SEC Championship game they've won 39 consecutive regular season games dating back to 2020 that's the second longest onfield streak in the AP pole era only Oklahoma had a longer streak and guess when that was that was when they won 45 straight between 1953 and 1957 so slightly different era of football football back then all due respect to those sooner teams I'm sure they were amazing I'm sure they were great not taking anything away I just think winning 39 in a row now might be a little trickier than winning 45 in a row back then now is it completely out of the realm of possibility the Georgia right now is currently a 14-point favorite need I remind you that Clemson last year when they went on the road to Duke was an 11 and a half Point favorite and the home field being at Duke last year it's worth what about three points so in a neutral site Georgia being 14 and Clemson on the road 11 it's really not that wide of a gap when you take that into account and I think a lot of people will look back at Clemson last year and say well they failed to win at least 10 games for the first time since 2010 and while that for many would be viewed as a significant disappointment I actually look at where they were after a 4 and four start really at a Crossroads and finishing with a five game win streak I think they have a lot of momentum coming into this season and they're going to look a lot like they looked last year you got the same offensive coordinator back in Garrett Riley you got the same quarterback back in Kate kumnick you would hope at least I would hope that Kate kumnick will be a lot more comfortable this year people remember I people forget I mean while kid kumnick was a a festar and he sprinkled him into some action in his true freshman year the guy's only started 13 or 14 games it's like he's played a ton of football so Kade kumnick I think maybe he's poised to make a significant jump his second year in the offense his second year with Riley and with what should be a better receiving Corp now he's got to make better decisions he threw nine picks last year and he's got to have better ball security he put the ball on the ground 10 times five of which were lost the good news is I do think they're going be able to run the football and I look at Phil mafa and while he was kind of used as a piece to kind of spell will Shipley throughout the first half of last season down the stretch he really got it going I mean the last six games nobody ran for more rushing touchdowns and there were only two guys in the league that had more rushing yards per game down the stretch than fil MAA last year so and I look at Georgia and we've talked about this and documented this really all offseason their Achilles heel last year was against the run so if Clemson beats Georgia that means that they've probably gotten improved quarterback play they probably were able to run the football pretty well they probably were able to create some one-on-one opportunities for their wide receivers their young wide receivers that are hopefully going to get a little better this year a little more consistent this year and George still maybe has a couple issu issues against the run that plagued them at times last year so that's probably the recipe but man that would be a massive result not just for the ACC but also for dbos Sweeney in quieting some of the critics with how he's approached the portal and some other aspects of the current format in college football
