The Clemson offense has had its fair share of ups and downs this season, but no one can argue with the fact that pass-catchers have done freshman quarterback Tait Reynolds little favors when it comes to dropped passes. More of the same was on display in the win over Syracuse, which thankfully didn't come back to haunt the Tigers against the Orange.
Still, this is an issue that isn't getting much better for Clemson, which is something veteran offensive coordinator Chad Morris spoke about with the media this week. Straight up, Morris wants to see his guys take a little more pride reeling the ball in, especially with three games left on the schedule. The Tigers must play close to perfect football to close out the regular season 3-0, which would still give them a chance to get to Charlotte.
Clemson OC Chad Morris: "Drops are gonna happen. Multiple drops may happen. But at that point, it's, 'How does that affect the next-play mindset?'" Says his message to players (including top WRs) after drops has been not letting them linger -- take it on the chin and move on

At the same time, Morris brings up a great point here. While drops are a part of football, the Tigers always need to have a next-play mentality in the middle of a game. Should a drop happen, that player needs to flush it as soon as possible, and make sure a play is made the next time his number is called.
Come Saturday, Clemson will take on Georgia Tech, a contest it's a big-time favorite for. It will provide the offense a great opportunity to keep building some chemistry, especially with the dance with South Carolina in late November sneaking up on us all.

Dawn Staley once again has the Gamecocks playing at an elite level, with South Carolina the favorite to win it all this year. The Tigers could be in for a long night, but might Clemson have what it takes to pull off a shocker? In order for that to happen, Mia Moore, Taliyah Henderson, and others will have to be at their best.
Dabo Swinney is getting ready for his 250th game in charge leading Clemson
Back to the gridiron, Saturday is going to be extra special for Clemson head man Dabo Swinney, as it will mark game No. 250 of him in charge of the Tigers. Swinney has 193 career wins to his name, and he'll be hoping that No. 194 arrives -- Georgia Tech is standing in the way of that.
This week will be Dabo Swinney's 250th game as Clemson's head coach.

According to the FanDuel sportsbook, the Tigers are 13.5-point favorites to take care of the Yellow Jackets on Saturday night. Should that happen, it will make this accomplishment all the more sweeter for Swinney, while Clemson would improve to 7-3 on the campaign, too.
