Heartbreaker in Tallahassee

Clemson's football program has found a number of ways to lose in heartbreaking fashion, but Saturday night's loss against top-ranked Florida St. may be the one that stands out. Clemson dominated the stat line and could have come away with the win, but two missed field goals and a lack of production in the red zone cost the Tigers the shot at the upset. Full Story »

Fire Dabo for going for it on 4th and 1. Then fire him again for letting Chad call that play.

You would have kicked a FG there? There's no way I can see that call going well.

Anything outside of an EP was not a kicking scenario.

But would you agree that the play call was a bad one? We haven't had consistent success running the ball in short yardage situations, especially from the shotgun

Re: Thanks chad. This ones on you. Terrible job


Sep 21, 2014, 12:19 AM

I'd rather them run that play than kick it. Watson slammed it in from the shotgun on the second TD, so maybe that would have been a better call.

Either way, it would have been a real luxury to have Catanzaro. This loss demonstrates how valuable he was.

We should NOT have attempted a FG but we should've learned from our first mistake snapping it from the shotgun on 4th and 1/2 a yard and had DW line up right behind our biggest lineman and do QB sneaks to get the first in both of those situations....I don't understand the play calling in those situations...that is what lost of this game IMO

I disagree 100%. I applaud the decision to go for it. Our kicker sucks. You can't blame dabo for going for it. We failed on so many opportunities in the red zone. If we had made touchdowns as we should have...this wouldn't be an issue. I would've gone for it too. Our red zone offense sucked. Missed field goal. Field goal. Missed field goal. Touchdown? That is 28 points right here had we executed. The coaches called the right plays. Players just couldn't execute.

Even a person who has only played high school football knows that when you have 1st and goal @ the half yard line quarterback sneak is the safest and most efficient play. If the offensive co-ord. does not know this he should go back to high school football. I am ashamed at the short yardage offense of Clemson tonight. I have been a Tiger fan for 60 years, Mr. Morris, and I can not remember when I have seen such pitiful plays called in a short distance situation. Even I know, and I am no football wizard, that having to run 5 yards to pick up 2 feet is a losing situation...as the red zone play tonight proves.

Dabo can't beat a good team consistently


Sep 21, 2014, 12:07 AM

We'll never contend for anything but the ACC, because Dabo can't beat really good teams on a regular basis. That's why we keep getting embarrassed in the second half. We'll continue to beat SC State, Furman, Coastal, Georgia State, and most other ACC schools, but with Dabo at the helm, we'll never beat the Georgia's, FSU's, or Carolina's on a regular basis. And why go for it on 4th and 1 in OT? Then the play they ran? We haven't gained 5 yards on that play on 3rd and 4th down all night. If everybody's happy with 9 to 10 wins a year, keep Dabo, after all, he is a fine man and a great role model, but if you want to contend for national titles, we need to find someone else.

I thought Dabo and Chad called a good game. This one is on Lakip. He was not even close! The 4th down call was a good one. You have to assume Roberto was going to split the uprights if given the chance. They got 6 anyways so a field goal wouldn't have mattered anyway.

I agree, for the most part, they did. I know we want to be a running team, but we haven't had consistent success on short yardage, that's why I can't understand that call in that situation. Earlier in the game, ok, but not on 4th down in OT.

Instead we rush into a shotgun play that cost us and do the same with three inches to go and game on the line. Unbelievable, inexcusable and absolutely heartbreaking.

The real heartbreaker is that our coaches lost the game. From b-team football all the way up to the NFL, you learn how to run the ball. 3rd and inches on the goal line? RUN THE #### BALL. 4th and inches in OT? RUN THE #### BALL. And not 6 yards for 6 inches. This rests solely on Chad and Dabo. Dabo mainly for not over-ruling the poor play calling. I can forgive missed field goals and dropped balls. I cannot forgive poor coaching. We lost this game because we were too stupid to rely on fundamental football. Period. Shame on the coaches.

Sep 21, 2014, 12:41 AM

In the red zone cost us this loss. Yes the 4th down play call was very questionable but 2 missed FGs and red zone mistakes left an easy win on the table. The play calling got us in position but poor red zone execution was the difference.

Agree. Red zone killed us. No kicking game and an embarassing amount of mental mistakes. We threw this one away. Shameful.

David,
I really enjoy your articles, but this loss is squarely on our coaches.

We Pay in excess of $1.3M for an OC that routinely gets schooled against top competition. How much should we expect to pay for a coach who 'gets it'? Why are we so happy to pay this much for an intern?

We made a lot of mistakes, but if we run it in from inside the franking ONE YARD LINE we win. Done deal. Game, set, & match.

When will our HC assert himself and cull the stupidity from our game management?

Who owns this screw up?

yep. we're not fair weather fans, but supporters that realize with the $$$ willing to be spent, we deserve a nick saben coach that EXPECTS to win the big games... not one that dances on the ceiling and runs around and hugs reporters when Clemson occasionally wins a big game.

yep, not an fwf - just a tired old soul disappointed again. and sick of throwing money that way for this crap. well, no more.

There's only one nick saban type coach and he's in alabama and not going anywhere, it just seems to me there are too many fair weather fans that call for Dabos job when we lose a game and don't see that we are still moving in the right direction, and I believe our chance for greatness will be sooner than starting over with a new coach

Jameis is the man!


Sep 21, 2014, 1:04 AM

If your reading this then I'm glad you decided to react to my input...first and foremost...Jameis is not the man he is an immature conceited peckerhead who needs Jesus...for all you true clemson fans that want Dabo and now chad fired, you all are retarded...2nd half of GA too conservative I agree...but tonight was not about play calling or coaching...walk in TD from stoudt to leggett-perfect play call...executed badly...except for not being under center chad nor Dabo hiked the ball over Watsons head...had battle blocked the corner on the JJ pass would have been an easy gain of 40yds or more if not TD...Mackenzie played excellent all night but fell and it cost us 7 points...CJ had a first down on a great running call where o line blocked good but fumbled...defense played outstanding! Play calling was fine...coaching was fine offense and defense were great...miscues and luck for them won the game...that was a tough one...that team is hurting right now...and all y'all want to do is bash the coaches?! True Clemson fans are hurting with them and not complaining...show some respect...we have great coaches and a great team...sometimes the cards just don't fall your way...and for the record the OT 4th and 1...should have never came to that...

This felt very similar to the Auburn game in 2010. We controlled the game defensively until a fluke deep ball beat us and tied the game...same as 2010. This is extremely tough because of how many times we came up empty in their territory. Just couldn't execute. I probably won't be able to watch the replay for another 2 years. Just too heartbreaking to watch. Hopefully we finish the year strong and finally shut the chickens up for once. Go Tigers!

We won the game by 7 and should have won by 21


Sep 21, 2014, 2:05 AM

This games hurt more than any I have ever felt as a life long Clemson fan. I turned down several small college scholarships to play basketball to attend Clemson in August 1988 because I have always been a Clemson fan. However the loss tonight hurts the most because this is the first loss I know of that we actually won on the field. Prior to the bad snap CJ scored at TD where he was ruled down. Look at the replay. He was in but it wasn't reviewed. A play earlier Seckinger was given a TD but was overturned under review. Clemson won that game on the field but yet was screwed. This is the only time I have ever felt this way. There were many mistakes by the tigers in this game and many opportunities to put it away and plenty of blame to go around, BUT Clemson won this game. It's a travesty that play wasn't reviewed and is the difference between winning in regulation and losing in overtime. I like our coaching staff but they deserve any and all criticism for this loss if for no other reason than that one play where CJ reached the goal line but yet it went unchalleged. Not to mention the phantom face mask call on fsu's opening drive of the 2nd half. Instant replay should include all calls (holding, offsides, facemask, pass interference, etc) not just certain situations or there should be no instant replay at all!

I blamed our coaches for the Ga loss, but can't blame 'em for this one. They put together a good game plan and gave it to the players. Tigs had several opportunities to win the game and were the better team tonight but could not get it done. This hurts.

How can you not blame Chad Morris? Do we not have a play where the qb gets under center and runs a sneak? It's the most basic play in football and gives the best chance to gain a yard with minimum risk. Also how can you not blame Dabo? He should have thrown his flag to review the play before the bad snap. Clear TD! I do give Venables credit for giving us a chance to win. It has to be demorallizing for a defense to play so well just to have the offense not be able to get a ##### yard!!!!! Oh! And how about not having a kicker that can kick a gimme FG or put the ball in the endzone on a kickoff. Special teams will continue to put this team in situations that are hard to overcome. Do we even have a special teams coach? C'mon Dabo! You are a great cheerleader and great recruiter, but as a head coach, ehh! Mediocre at best! At least you kept Watson in there. Too bad it was 3 possessions too late!

I feel bad for the defense, they dominated much of the action...The offense had a lot of promising drives end in undesirable fashion, methinks the football gawds have issues cuz that was just ridiculous:P.
You saw how good the Clemson D can be against a good team when the offense doesn't leavem hangin for too long. It was nice to see the Offense get some first downs against a fast, aggressive, and disruptive defense, instead of sitting on the sidelines watching the defense get worn down.
Poor Stoudt, the incumbent who put in a lot of time never even got a chance to assume control of the offense without the backup coming in regularly. I don't think Cole ever played a single quarter of action without DW coming into the game... DW looks good, and seems like a natural at the position, but lets be honest, the coaches never looked at Cole as anything more than a bench warmer for Tajh Boyd and a fluffer for DW.

Why does morris always let his ego get in the way of calling smart plays. A shotgun run for a short yardage try? This is why we never score more than 17 to 20 points on good defenses. Morris has to go. Why can a team like ECU constantly score more on the same teams than we can. They don't have near the talent. I bet we dont put 70 on UNC next week like they did. They also put more on usuck than we do when they play them the same year. The answer is they will go to what works and make adjustments. Morris will make excuses and keep getting OVER paid.

The only thing worse than domestic violence is beating yourself. Our Offensive Line is the issue - the WHOLE issue.

97% of the posts under this are from names never heard of before. That's interesting. And the things you're saying are quite atrocious. Here's a scenario. Game wasn't called bad at all. I do agree with one thing you fair weathers have been saying and that's the fact that chad has been ultra vanilla with the play calling. Hopefully that changes. Saw someone say we were clemsoning. Ummmm,well guys hate to bust your bubble but SC State wasn't a top ranked team that we beat and turned around and lost Saturday night. Haven't even following the team long enough to even know what it meant in the past. Saw someone else use "settle" and "10-2" in the same sentence. And then you guys are talking to each other and giving one another the rah rah speech. Hilarious. But carry on guys it's quite entertaining

Whoever said our O-line played bad must've been watching the Georgia game still. O-line was extremely solid against a (according to star ratings) superior D-line
