It's been 16 years since since Reggie got pulled

in the game against the coots, and we still talk and post about it.
I'm guessing in 16 years we'll still have posts about Cade being held on the sideline this year.
Pull out the win, which could have happened in either game, and it wouldn't matter.
But it does matter. Losing to the coots is the worst. Especially when we should have won.

We just didn't play well that week...

We felt like we got outworked. So our big thing is never again we will be outworked. Never again will be out-competed on a game like that. It all stems from that game. Because at the end of the game, everyone knew that they weren’t that much better than us or better than us at all. It really just lit a fire in everybody. Since that week, everyone has worked harder and wanted it more.

Ellis Johnson said it best
Ellis said that that game was more about Clemson than USC. He couldn’t understand why Clemson stopped running the ball. He also didn’t understand why Dabo continued to play DJ . He said, and I quote “ Clemson just gave them the game"

Also a quote by Dabo: “#### those spoiled Clemson fans.” - Dabo Swinney around 2 PM November 26, 2022.

Other than nor firing Rob Spence, pulling Reggie was the biggest mistake Tommy ever made. That's when I was done with Bowden also.

Yes, but in 16 years, we'll be saying...

This would have been our 25th game in a row against the coots if we had played Cade back in 2022

Apples and Oranges because there is no way even guess at the unknown. One thing is tried and true, if the defense can't stop plays, keep running them and another is we 11-2 and in the Orange Bowl.

That whole game was eerily similar to this year's.***

Still can’t believe we lost to them at home.

That loss is on DJ, Dabo, and Streeter.

DJ performed very poorly. But you can't blame him for not benching himself. The coaches are the adults in this situation. Player is not performing well and there's a viable back up? Sit said player for a while. Maybe you don't do that with Deshaun his 2nd and 3rd year or Trevor his 2nd and 3rd year, but anyone else you don't let them continue to be the obstacle to your success. That game is 100% on the coaches and if Dabo is honest with himself he knows he messed up.

We didn't need Cade to beat USCe

Just needed coaching staff to keep calling running plays (though Cade would have also helped upgrade our chances)

Bowden's decision was much more egregious

since Merriweather was playing well and Bowden PULLED him.
Ugh.

This is a funny post for me because the past few weeks I've told friends I'm struggling with the same level of bitterness towards coaching - meaning I feel as bitter about Cade not playin against SC as I do about Merriweather getting pulled. Those 2 things are the only coaching decisions I can't make peace with when it comes to Clemson football.
