A question for those more knowledgeable about football than me. RE: defensive problems vs Clemson. - NDavenue - 10:51am 12/23/20 (22) [View All]
- Part of the problem is that we gave them SO MANY shots at our defense so early. - jakers - 3:43pm 12/23/20
  - Great point that shows how an offense can hang a D out to dry - Chrisb - 8:15pm 12/23/20
  - Good point. [NT] - NDavenue - 3:57pm 12/23/20
- Rodgers is not their #1 WR - kgirish - 3:06pm 12/23/20
  - How so? Rogers has far more targets, receptions, yards and TDs. Sounds #1 to me. [NT] - NDavenue - 3:20pm 12/23/20
    - Either could be considered a #1 WR - ndunabomber - 5:27pm 12/23/20
