If you could chage one play in Clemson football History...


Jul 22, 2015, 10:54 AM

What would it be?

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Mississippi Tiger --------- Clemson University - 8 Time National Football Champions - 1900, 1906, 1948, 1950, 1981, 1983, 2016, 2018


The costly fumble last year at FSU would be one....


Jul 22, 2015, 10:56 AM

Puntrooskie would be another.

If not for that play, we would have played for the National Championship that year, becasue we would have been ranked #1 and I don't think we would have lost to NC State later in the year. As it was, we finished 9th in the final vote.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I still maintain the winning FG was wide left.***

CJ Davidson's fumble inside the 10 last year in Tallahassee. That would have been the game winning drive if we hold onto that ball .
Would have made us ACC Atlantic Champs .
Gutwrenching .

I would change the play before the puntrooskie


Jul 22, 2015, 1:32 PM [ in reply to puntrooskie ]

Vince Taylor dropped an interception the play before that not only would have given us the ball, but it would have put us in field goal range.

Aaron Kelly would catch the pass from Cullen Harper in the endzone that hit his chest against Boston College in 2007.

Puntrooskie


Jul 22, 2015, 11:02 AM

Clemson would've probably gone undefeated that year and won at least a share of the national title. I don't think an undefeated Clemson team would've slipped up to NC State the way the '88 team did a few weeks after the puntrooskie.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: If you could chage one play in Clemson football History...


Jul 22, 2015, 11:04 AM

Puntrooskie comes immediately to mind, but also

- The dropped TD pass that would have beaten Auburn in their stadium, and denied them a national championship

- Missing a wide-open receiver in the end zone against Miami that would have ended the game, instead of extending the tie

- The TD pass that Georgia Tech completed (i don't remember who, unfortunately) to cap an incredibly unlikely 2- or 3-TD comeback win over us in the final seconds

- Not giving the ball to Reggie

- WVU stripping the ball from Ellington and running it back - completely changed the game

- Tajh not having the ball stripped as he was going down against SCar in his last game against them - also completely changed the game

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: If you could chage one play in Clemson football History...


Jul 22, 2015, 11:12 AM

I was tempted to say the Ellington play, but I think the WVU beatdown was actually good for the program in the long run. It got us Venables.

Good point


Jul 22, 2015, 1:28 PM

Probably the only good thing to come of that game...

It was Calvin Johnson

Re: If you could chage one play in Clemson football History...


Jul 22, 2015, 1:29 PM

Meant the QB but yes, now that you mention it, I wasn't sure the receiver was Calvin Johnson. I do remember that now, it was his "coming out party". We got him back a few years later at his "shut down party", though.

Forgot about Ellington fumble vs WV


Jul 22, 2015, 1:46 PM [ in reply to Re: If you could chage one play in Clemson football History... ]

Man that was awful. 14 point swing and never looked back

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Re: Forgot about Ellington fumble vs WV


Jul 22, 2015, 4:07 PM

Our team was shellshocked after that and never recovered. 4 WVU TDs later and we should have just instituted a running clock in the second half.

Very tempting to say Parker overthrowing Allen at Auburn 2010


Jul 22, 2015, 11:06 AM

That would have won us the game and changed the course of the season

Have to go with either of these 2: Davidson fumble vs fsu or snap over dw head vs fsu

Also, Sammy trick pass INT vs coots 2013

Re: If you could chage one play in Clemson football History...

Got to pick 3.....

1) the play before puntrooski----we dropped an easy cupcake interception.
2) the late fumble last year at tally (or the bad snap...take your pick)
3) AK's drop vs BC

Just looked up the play before the Puntrooskie.....oh man


Jul 22, 2015, 11:28 AM

not quite a sure fire interception, buy man he should have caught that. i had completely forgotten that play. that's a chip shot field goal if we hit it. they had no time outs left. could have been a HUGE season for us.

some random plays on my list would be, in no particular order
- matt gadget's missed FG against the chickens in 1996 or so. we had stormed back and would have sent the game in overtime
- the offsides against auburn in 2010
- aaron kelly's drop against bc
- the throwback kickoff return against the chickens in 1992
- one of many many plays against the noles last season
- the snap against GT
- one of the phantom holding calls against tech in the late 00's
- the fumble against WVU
- charlie missing wide open receiver against miami in 3 to game
- missed extap point against BC in 2006
- one of the two fumbled interception returns against duke in 1989

Offsides kickoff vs. UGA in 2002


Jul 22, 2015, 11:24 AM

Fred Gibson ran it back on the re-kick.

Should have won that game.

TD catch by Kerry Watkins for GT in 2000 with just a few seconds left. Win that game and go into FSU the next week undefeated.

Fullers fumble


Jul 22, 2015, 11:29 AM

Steve Fullers fumble on the Notre Dame 12 yard line late in the third quarter as we lead 17 to 7. I know it may not have changed the outcome, but we had the lead, momentum, and were in the red zone. Notre Dame eventually won the National Championship, and we got a measure of revenge in 1979, but that one would have been so sweet, especially against Devine! Punt Rooskie..... just as bitter!

Jul 22, 2015, 11:30 AM

Had #1 LSU on the ropes but we snapped the ball over our punter's head to set up the winning TD. We lost 7-0.

Winning that game may have jump started a better record during the '60s. Instead, the energy slowly leaked out of our program.

Just off the top of my, a little could think of more


Jul 22, 2015, 11:41 AM

The obvious #1 and #2 is the puntrooskie and the dropped easy INT the play before (you can put those in either order), but after that...
-Stoudt missing easy TD pass last year's FSU game (we win the game if not for that)
-Davidson's fumble in last year's FSU game (we win the game if not for that)
-Snap over Watson's head in last year's FSU game (we win the game if not for that)
-Maryland's touchdown pass (or whatever you want to call it) in 1985
-Kelly drop BC game that would have won division
-Matt Padgett missed FG vs gamecocks in 1996
-Lazzarra missed FG @ end of Bowden Bowl I

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Aaron Kelly's dropped td vs. bc

2024 purple level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That was my first thought too but I also think if we had


Jul 22, 2015, 12:17 PM

won that game and thus gone to the ACC Champ Game that year, Bowden would've probably survived '08.

CTB did some great things for Clemson but I'm glad we've moved on.

Re: If you could chage one play in Clemson football History...


Jul 22, 2015, 12:06 PM

There are many but one still sticks in my crawl...52 yard field goal against Duke. Season started rough but we had gotten it together and rattled off 4 in a row. We beat #10 Miami Hurricanes in OT at their house the week before. Then we turn around and lose to Puke on a 52 yard field goal the next week....the first time the term "Clemsoning" came to be known.

To make matters worse I was visiting in-laws in Athens, surrounded by ogre looking mouth breathers, listening loud and proud on the radio when that stupid kick was called GOOD! #$%@#$%$%$%^$ my life!
