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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
