90 yards and 1:52. That's REALLY a back up against the wall situation. Could be legendary.

Well I'm nervous which means I'm invested so that's good I guess.

 

[Gunnerclone]

I like not calling the TO.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

NO TIMEOUT? Why save?

For when Manning calls something cute and it doesn't work.

 

[CyVolk]

We should’ve never been in this position. Offense can’t lie dormant for 3 qtrs against Clemson. D did their job all game, Manning can’t decide to just play offense in the 4th qtr.

I agree the defense has been good. But, it allowed 68 plays in 3 1/2 qtrs. The bend but don’t break defense holds down the score but it keeps our offense off the field. It makes it more difficult to get into a good rhythm.

LOL...announcers making excuses for us not calling timeout after third down stop

 

[jctisu]

Ok so we just jumped the gun with the last drive. THIS is the drive to ride off into the sunset with a legendary finish.

 

[t-noah]

Why not let that punt go? 11 yard line vs. 5, not much difference.

 

[CycloneErik]

Urgency?

 

[Gunnerclone]

Clemson athleticism on D is insane.

 

[StLouisClone]

We don't have a good 2 minute offense at all

 

[FerShizzle]

Anyone wish we did a better job managing the clock?

Yep, could have saved a whole playclock worth of seconds with a TO there before the punt.

 

[harimad]

With Rose out, I thought we’d lose by four TDs at least. My hats off to the boys on D, they played their butts off tonight.

 

[simply1]

Might as well spike out if we’re going to go that slow

 

[Dandy]

Tom Manning stinks.

 

[isuno1fan]

We are so PATHETIC with clock utilization

 

[khardbored]

no time out???

 

[CYaeger]

Tom Manning stinks.

Yup

 

[simply1]

Not using the last timeout after your sack was dumb

Clemson's D Coordinator looks like Chip Kelly's mall impersonator.
