Just more fuel for Dabo. Trevor Lawrence, Travis Etienne, and Tee Higgins being left off these lists is criminal.

Well, by the numbers, those guys didn't deserve it. And one reason is attempts. E.g., I just glanced at Etienne and Ohio State's Dobbins, Dobbins carried the ball like 70 more times, thus allowing him to gain a lot more yards.

But, that's because Ohio State played good teams and couldn't afford to rest him. OTOH, Clemson's soft ACC schedule allows Dabo to rotate even his stars like Etienne in and out and be fresher for the playoffs.

So .. you miss out on an award nobody will remember, but the payoff is that Etienne is fresh and ready for the Fiesta Bowl -and whoever his backup is has gotten valuable playing time too- whereas Dobbins has much more wear and tear on him.

Absolutely love the circular logic.

Etienne isn't good enough because Clemson "didn't play anybody"

When Etienne runs all over Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl it's because Clemson 'didn't play anybody"

Hilarious!

The logic isn't circular at all. I didn't say Etiene wasn't 'good enough' in any grand sense, I said he didn't deserve to be nominated for the award - what we were talking about - because his numbers don't stack up to the three guys who were nominated, with Dobbins as an example.

I also explained why that was the case - soft ACC schedule allows Dabo to rotate players more, keeping starters fresher and giving backups more seasoning. The downside being that a guy like Etienne doesn't get quite enough work to match the numbers of a few other guys.

Your bias makes you ... weird.

Give Travis the 100 additional carries that Dobbins gets and based upon his average per carry, which has been consistent for his entire career, of around 7.8 yards per carry, and he's a top five in single season rushing yards.

But thanks for swallowing the bait whole. Unlike Day Dabo was smart enough to put in the reserves early and often to keep the team fresh throughout the season. It's been a hallmark of his coaching career: You come to Clemson and put in the work and you are going to play. It builds depth, it makes players work harder knowing that playing time if directly proportional to effort extended, and the competiton makes the tea as a whole better. It's why when our starting DT Dexter Lawrence was suspended in the playoffs last year we did not miss a beat. We plugged in a guy with just as much experience because we play our reserves in more than just garbage time. For the past few years nobody has played more players per game as Clemson, and it's a big reason why we are having the success on the field and recruiting that we are. You come to Clemson you aren't going to sit for a year or two.

Day could have held Dobbins out in the 4th quarter against FAU up 35-6 yet there he (and Fields FWIW) was playing until 3:01 in the 4th in a game that was before by halftime. Or playing deep into the third quarter (Fields into the 4th) up big on Northwestern. Ohio State has had ample opportunity to get reserves in the game because of games being in hand and simply hasn't done it so save your "ACC is weak" BS for someone incapable of finding out the real truth. Ohio State had the same number of close games as Clemson this year, if they didn't get their reserves in games it's their own damn fault.



And your bias is plainly obvious.

AYE KAPLONY!

Trevor's downfall was the beginning of the season when he was off key. Clemson, in my opinion, is the most dangerous team in the playoffs because OSU isn't going to know how to prepare for them.

LOL @ Ryan Day... I wish I had a gif of his reaction when he found out his boys were dropped to #2 and he'd be playing Clemson...

You didn’t get your welcome to the power school club yet after whipping up on the blue bloods the past few years?

Everyone knows Clemson is good and loaded with talent. The ACC at present time is holding you back, or as others have mentioned giving Dabo plenty of time to rest stars and get others experience. There are trade-offs.

Read the rebuttal above. I just went after Day at O31-0 State but I could do the same against Orgeron and Riley if I wanted to. Don't cry about not being able to rest players when you leave your starters in blowouts to pad stats.

What the 1st game of the year for the 1st game of a head coach and QBs career? Also, idk if it was the first start for Dobbins, but definitely the first start as the clear number 1.

Dobbins had 18 of 37 team carries against Northwestern?

Furthermore, I don’t even understand your argument. You claim 3 guys not being finalist is criminal, but the awards are based on stats and stats alone. Everyone knows Clemson has good players that’s why they are high on NFL mock draft boards. You then argue that all our coaches are dumb and yours is smart because he rest his players which I somewhat agree with, but there in itself is the reason they aren’t finalist because they didn’t play enough snaps to have the statistics in many cases.

Really? Then where's Anthony Gordon, Josh Love, and Brock Purdy on the Davey O'Brien list? They have better stats than Fields and Hurts.

Where's Omar Bayless and Antonio Gandy-Golden on the Biletnikoff award? They have better stats than CeeDee Lamb and Michael Pittman.

Na i just am not putting much thought into my responses because you take one line out and don’t respond to rest of post. 24k post keep going pal.

Yeah the it was a crawfish to my 3 secs of thought, but still probably very valid into what the voters took into consideration.

Anyways...this discussion is free to others I’m done here
