WIN than what we witnessed last night.
In the past, that kinda start led to BIG losses and LOTS of soul searching by the team.
What I saw last night was nothing short of miraculous based on what I have historically known by my beloved Tigers.
COULD NOT BE PROUDER OF EVERYONE associated with making The Paw the ABSOLUTE GOLD STANDARD in all things.
ONE MORE !!!
ALL. IN.

The game was a blast to watch. Admittedly, I was so grateful the defense held in the Red Zone. When it was only 16-0, it felt Clemson was still in the game...not sure 28-0 would have felt the same.
The hitting was brutal...but largely clean, from my perch. On the 'not a fumble', my first two thoughts were:
1. It wasn't a catch and, if it was
2. Why is forward progress seldom called anymore?
The targeting was unfortunate for them, but what can anyone do? That Trevor even got up was a huge 'whew!'
Players from both teams kept gutting through injuries and returning...that was impressive. The whirlpools will be very busy the next couple of days!
Does ANY team do more with the four minutes either side of halftime than Clemson? They win, or put away, more games in that eight minute stretch to the point it's almost predictable.
Regarding tOSU...several times, they looked like Clemson's aerial attack! Fields through balls I didn't know he could...and his receivers went up and plucked it...when perfectly covered.
Lastly, I am continually amazed how often a player works and works and works to make a HUGE impact solely with one play, or two. Look at Nolan...at Amari. And ETN make next-level $$ last night with his versatility. That 53 yard TD was magical...the blocking looked like the parting of the Red Sea.
Ciao!

I have been a Tiger fan since 1957 and you are right about being down that much it have been a disaster. Glad these guys have "no quit" in their DNA.
