bretticus33	4	Clemson's defense was as good as advertised, but the offense looked a lot like last season's offense. DJU is probably the biggest thing holding the offense back and if Dabo makes a switch to Klubnik, the offense might improve.

ShamusJohnson13	4	Yay? If DJ Uiungalale (I hope I spelled that right, it's 12:13 AM) remains the starter for any length of time the rest of the season, fire Dabo. I'm not kidding, right now it's night and day between him and Cade. Yes this is reactionary. Yes I will drop Clemson if I see DJ under center next week unless he finally turns god mode. Or halfway decent.
TaylorLeprechaun	4	+0 - Submitting this before the game is actually over but it's 27-10 with 7:30 left and Clemson is in the red zone so I feel pretty safe calling it

IceColdDrPepper_Here	5	DJ Uiagalelei is trash. There's really no other way to put it. Clemson looked awful offensively against Georgia Tech, a team that has now been outscored 141-10 over their last three games. If Dabo wants to do anything of note this season, he had better put in Cade Klubnik and fast.

Our-Gardian-Angel	5	Week 1: Clemson 41, Georgia Tech 10 It was a 14-10 lead for Clemson in the third quarter before the Tigers shifted into maximum overdrive. The defense still looked nasty even without Brent Venables and DJ Uiagalelei was solid and would've had a more impressive final line if not for a few drops.

DarkLegend64	7	Cade looks like the answer at QB. With him, Clemson is probably a playoff team and seeing him in action is why I did not drop Clemson further than this. If Dabo sticks with DJ, Clemson may not win the ACC for a second straight year.

crownebeach	8	This offensive line is legit crap. *Georgia Tech* pushed these guys around up front. But the defense is characteristically excellent, so they're still likely to have an excellent season. I agree with the consensus that Klubnik looked better than D.J., but I want to remind everyone that in limited action as a freshman, D.J. looked nearly as good as Trevor Lawrence; small sample sizes and not a lot of film can do wonders for a guy!

nw____	14	What was that? I am going to need to be convinced that Clemson isn’t just Orange-Cat Iowa. DJU and Spencer Petras have at least one thing in common, and if your QB shares any traits with Petras, you’re not a top-5 team. Somehow left the Clemson and GT game feeling worse about both teams. It was ugly. That said, if they make a change at QB, they might be terrifying— the Clemson we’re more accustomed to seeing over the last decade. Klubnik looked good to close things out. How does Dabo balance loyalty vs. what the tape shows? With DJU, they aren’t a playoff team and, combined with how bad the offensive line looked at times, may not even be a top ten team.

Beck4ou	4	No change. Very shaky to start the game but defense looked great as always, offense picked up more in the latter stages, will need to see more to know how good this team actually is. Running game is concerning as I expected them to run all over GT even if the passing struggled, the O-line needs to improve and while DJ looked better but not great, his receivers did drop some very catchable passes. Klubnik came in and showed out on his only drive, excellent ball placement and boy is he quick. I am not ready to give up on DJ yet but it's good to know there is more depth at the position than last year.

JB_Gibson	6	Still showing some of those offensive concerns with DJ. Some might argue, but this was not a team that was winning an NC or Playoff game this year. Tech is obviously improved, and I give credit where credit is due, but the offense was just sputtering in the first half. I don't like their chances as is, but I expect a QB change before October.
