Well, just when you think being backed up at your own 4 makes for a problematic drive, you get Deshaun Watson'd and suddenly Clemson is at midfield. 

...and just when you think that the drive is dead, you fake it. The punter gets to show off those QB skills that no one even asked about when he joined the team.

Punter has a better arm than the QB. 

 

Wasn't this the punter that wanted to fake punt and run in the ACC chipgame?

And Dabo chewed his ass like a prick..

It's literally the same play, I don't know why the announcers are giving Dabo the credit. He could've kicked it if the throw wasn't there. That's why we like rugby kickers.

He guess wrong the first time, he guessed right this time.

Okay. Good, but Clemson has exhausted the bag o' tricks at this point right? To paraphrase the old Jimmy Johnson quote, if they've got to resort to trickeration in the 2nd quarter OU has got them over the long haul.

every day.  Never saw that intentional grounding rule before.

If only people could deploy apps on top of broadcasts - here's my free invention of the day: be able to choose songs that automatically get muted out of the audio stream.  Like the USC, OSU, and Oklahoma fight songs.

Hmm. Swore that Peppers did that exact same thing earlier this year and it wasn't called. I even commended the guy because I never understood why more people don't do that.

but I don't see them beating msu, let alone bama. Watkins has a demeanor about him that suggests he'd buckle in a game not going his way (true or not). Further, msu has a strange ability to neutralize or bother dual-threat QBs.
