Most disappointing close game at Clemson

Mine was Clemson vs BC 2007. Winner goes to the acc championship. Aaron Kelly dropped a TD to win it.

Before I clicked on the post, this was my game. BC, 2007. I've told this tale a few times...but I was in the student section that year. Matty Ice landed that pass right in front of me.

I looked at my crew and said "let's go before ESPN gets my sad face."

We immediately turned and walked towards the gate, which is like 100 feet away. I got a call BEFOFE we got through the gate to leave from a friend:

"I just saw you on ESPN. You did not look happy."


Ugh. That game is only second to the WVU Orange Bowl for all time worst losses, which wasn't a home game.

Re: Most disappointing close game at Clemson


Oct 25, 2017, 3:23 PM

It's funny. That play, in my humble opinion, was a huge turning point. Winning the ACC that year could have completely changed the way things went.

I am also happy with the way it worked out in the long run, and perhaps wouldn't change it in hindsight.

But man it sucked at the time. Bad.

Oct 25, 2017, 4:28 PM [ in reply to Re: Most disappointing close game at Clemson ]

Matty Ice threw the td pass in the west end zone. I was sitting in that corner (south side corner), and saw the guy running wide open before Ryan even threw the ball. Was like slow motion. As I recall the corner slipped or fell down and couldn't recover.

Still should've won the game if Aaron Kelly could have caught the pass that hit him in the hands at the goal line on the following drive. (that play was on the hill side)

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

If Kelly catches that pass, Bowden might have won a division

Oct 25, 2017, 11:47 PM [ in reply to Cool story, but ]

It seems like I remember Ryan being flushed out of the pocket before he could pass and thinking that's the ball game but some how Ryan rolled out and got that pass off and like you said it was slow motion and it seemed like their receiver caught that ball right in front of my face.After the game I remember how quiet everyone was at they left the stadium and thinking to myself "are we ever going to get out of this cycle of coming up short?".I think things worked out for the best though in the long run.

Was sitting at the 10 on that side when we saw the receiver break and the safety bite in. He thought Ryan had crossed to run. No way it’s complete if he stayed home.

We were walking out of the stadium and heading through the parking lot when we heard a roar from inside Death Valley. We quickly realized it was the GT fans that were roaring.

A disappointing end to a season that had began with high expectations.Seems like I vaguely remember some talk that year that Clemson might be good enough to run the table and be the first team voted National Champions while on probation since Oklahoma in 74 (might never had happened anyway but everyone was so ticked about that 3rd year of probation you hoped the Tigers would go undefeated in the regular season just to stick it to everyone).It was also William Perry's last game and it was the end of a long home winning streak.I remember thinking though as bad as that loss was at least probation was over.We got SCAR back the next year although it went right to the end and Mike Hold was still scrambling at the end of that game (the guy was as slippery as an eel and tough to bring down!).The next day SCAR beat the Tigers in soccer at Riggs Field and knocked them out of the playoffs but Tiger fans where shouting "Shreveport" since we were going to the Independence Bowl.
