January 1, 201313 yr Clemson redeems themselves for an awful performance last year while Les Miles seemed to do everything he could at the end to keep Clemson in it. LSU throws three straight times on their last drive up two and with the Tigers in possession of three timeouts. The first one netted 8 yards and then they had two straight incomplete passes. Clemson converted a 4th and 16 to keep the ensuing drive alive and hit a FG as time expired for the win. Big win for the ACC conference.
January 1, 201313 yr Les isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. He might be the most over-rated coach in college football IMO. No excuse to lose that game.
January 1, 201313 yr Author Dabo Swinney was hilarious in the postgame. Picked up Jeannine Edwards when she came over. Seemed like he was dying to yell out a curse word on more than one occasion. Ends it with a rousing "Go Tigers baby!"
January 1, 201313 yr He might be the most over-rated coach in college football IMO. No excuse to lose that game. He, or maybe the offensive coordinator, made some head scratching decisions the entire game, which led to an exhausted LSU defense and a loss. Why would leave the outcome of the game in your erratic QB's hands instead of trying to gain 2 yards with 2 running plays.:idunno: Boyd deserved to win that game though, he took a beating and just kept coming up big.
January 1, 201313 yr LSU goes 3-and-out eight times (not quite a Mr. Rooney from Ferris Bueller, but close) including on the last inexplicable possession. Clemson runs 101 plays on offense. Clemson deserved to win this one.
January 1, 201313 yr Why did Ware for LSU not carry the ball any more than he did? The way Clemson's defensive ends sold out on the pass rush, I would have given Ware or Hill around 20 carries off tackle, or maybe I"m mistaken and running the ball is not LSU's strength.

January 1, 201313 yr Author Why would leave the outcome of the game in your erratic QB's hands instead of trying to gain 2 yards with 2 running plays.:idunno: Probably for the same reason he left an overwhelmed Jordan Jefferson in against Alabama while not giving Jarrett Lee a single snap.
January 1, 201313 yr That was some pretty poor game management by LSU down the stretch. Great game by Clemsons QB, gutsy performance.
January 1, 201313 yr LSU offense looked out manned all night. Clemson played with a chip on their shoulder and smacked them in the mouth all night. LSU defense seemed to be on the field all night, thise guys were gassed!
January 1, 201313 yr That 4th and 16 completion was as big as it gets. If dropped---game all but over.
January 1, 201313 yr Les Miles is the worst clock manager that I've seen since the timekeeper in the USA/USSR basketball game in the '72 Olympics...
