This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Losing Okwara/Kareem will hurt by athlete37

Expectations were so high for them that I think they have actually been under appreciated this year. They have forced most teams into a game plan revolving around them. Additionally, having Ade and Hayes (pre injury) to come in fresh throughout the game puts continual stress on an OL. I think both will be very good next year, but we had Clemson-like depth there in September.

I also think Troy Pride takes a lot of undue flack. The 30 some yard td AmonRa had was the first sizable vertical/go touchdown we have given up outside of Clemson 2Q since SC 2016. We used to have seasons where that was a regular occurrence. Purdue, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, ASU, hell even Pitt.
