havent seen a team this overmatched in a long time. watching temple trying to tackle is like watching 7-year olds try to tackle their 16-year old brother. even when they're in position to make tackles, they still can't bring ball carries down. instead they get just latch on to jerseys and get taken for 3 and 4 yard rides. not a stretch to say clemson could score 70 if they want to tonight.

clemson is completely toying with them. davis and spiller didnt even go full speed into the endzone on their last two touchdown runs. they just jogged in like they were doing a walk-through drill in practice. to make matters worse, temple is committing penalties galore. theyre already grossly overmatched. and they are making it exponentially worse. peope talk about miss state being horrible, or duke being horrible. those teams are at least competitive and organized. temple is a mess.
would not be surprised to see Clemson keep going strong, especially at home. They really ran up the score on UNC at home.
the problem is that clemson isnt even throwing the ball down the field. they are just so physically dominant in this one that every play is just gouging the temple defense. so even 'calling the dogs off' might not help. because every play they are running is chunking yards.
The thing is anyone who actually saw that game, knows they did everything they could not ro run the score up on UNC. Bowden played 3rd and 4th string the basically the entire second half. This game may end up really ugly, but it's not intentional. Bowden can't afford any more injuries with GA. Tech looming, it's just that Clemson's scrubs are better than anything Temple can put on the field. UNC was bad, but Temple is just horrendous. I feel sorry for the kids on that team, but it says a lot about their character to keep showing up every week for their weekly drubbing.
