Boom. Walk off 55 yarder for GT right down the middle.

I think both Clemson and GT are likely low level top 25 teams but at 1-2 and struggling for much of their win over Troy you gotta drop Clemson from the rankings for now.

If they stay, which is a big if, it will be based on name and maybe they hold on at 24 or 25.

Idk... Dabo might be washed.

Going home with 2 timeouts in your pocket when you could have given your offense ~1 minute to drive for the win or the tie.

You love to see it!

I don’t think he could use those timeouts.   I think not using them was the right coaching move.  GT got their guys on and on top of that he made a career kick.  Thats football.  Putting them in that tight spot was the right call.

Gio Lopez is fuging atrocious. Why in the hell did Belichick and company give this guy $2M? He's not a D1 starter. He was at South Alabama for a reason. It's not like he was putting up big numbers there. He was a JAG at that level.

Agree.  6-6 record his last season at South Alabama, barely 200 yards passing per game and for a guy who is supposedly mobile, he only rushed for like 40 yards per game. 

Those would be subpar numbers for a true freshman starting at a power school, much less a veteran playing in a conference where the talent is barely D1.

Also doesn't help that Freddie Kitchens' play calling is equally atrocious.

Yeah, I agree with letting it play out like that. Make them scramble to get out there and get setup. Now once they were able to accomplish that comfortably and we're able to settle in I might've called a timeout at that point. But whatever. The kid nailed his career long as time expired. Sometimes football just goes like that.

It's actually pretty simple. You just place one hand perpendicular over the other.

And, no, they lost the game directly because they had no time to answer GTs score. Patently obvious it was the wrong choice.

I am with you.  Almost any coach would accept that situation where the kicker had to beat his career best (by 4 yards), with the clock running out, to beat you.

If you're defense makes the same stops, kid has to make the same kick except with more pressure. Knowing that if you miss a career long kick, you give the other team the ball back, basically already in FG range with the game in hand.

The caping for Dabo is hilarious. I always forget how many UNC-CH BBall/Clemp football fans there are around these parts.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
