And everything thats at stake when youre number one, everybody wants to take down number one. Chris williams. A big cushion over there. Thats an easy pitch and catch. And davis is going to get first down yardage. Kirk you just dont see that very often from the corners from clemson. From alexander or tankersley. Its tankersley into the boundary on the short side. He was bailing and backing off adams, and a very simple read and throw for a veteran like marquise williams and davis, both seniors. Great chemistry. Chris williams pressured. Balls out. Tigers have it as ton bryant, the freshman you mentioned came in and recovered the fumble. And that could secure a playoff kirk shaq lawson back in the lineup and he just has been doing this all year. This is spap,in, trying to slow him down, and there is that relentless effort. Ben boulware blitzes. He gets in, as well. Hood cannot slow boulware down. But the combination of two defenders, boulware and lawson. Theyve been doing it all year for the tigers. And they come up with maybe the play of the year. Chris when youre tired and just trying to hang on, go knock quarterbacks hands. And now with 6 38 to play, figure to see a heavy dose of Wayne Gallman. The finish line here. Head home for the pizza party tomorrow. And then the playoff. Gallman cuts it back. Gal mapp has space. Big gain down inside the 35. Kirk youre right about you love to see when peake blocks, 19, its watch to the left. Watch Charone Peake block. Talk about being unselfish. Hes become better known for his blocking as he is as a receiver. The only guy thats been around and played in 2011 on that acc Championship Team came in with sammy watkins, has been through a lot with some injuries, really put it together this year and having an outstanding senior year. Chris i love it when you salute receivers that make blocks on the edge. The dirty work of that position, right . Kirk exactly. Chris gallman again. Just running downhill hard. Nine more for the tigers. Kirk i dont know if ive seen him run with such conviction as hes run here in this second half. I think he was frustrated with the way the first half went. Could not get loose and in this second half, the line doing a better job im telling you, tackling se tackles. Chris terry allen works with him, the former clemson great, nfl stud, had almost 9,000 rushing yards in his career. Tony elliott was the cooffensive coordinator, the running backs coach, but hes calling the plays and really terry alps played an eded an vumental role. He was drafted 241st out of college. Willed himself to be a great player. Kirk does a lot of work on how to be a great running back, but the humility you carry yourself with, which is exactly how gallman plays the game. How about the speed option . You haveeshawneshaun watson coming right at you. Take away watson, he deals it to gallman and he picks up another 15 yards. Feed me again. And they do. Back to the boundary. Earns about four yards. Kirk when you talk to the clemson coaches and you watch them, in the past, its been aboutkins and c. J. Spiller and tajh boyd. I think this year, you can really see the confidence that they have in the offensive line and the running game. Its no longer just about the perimeter. Its about the physicality and running the football with gallman and deshaun watson. Whats ironic about that is the concern when this season started with the line. Five new starters on this offensive line and theyve become a real strength for this team. Chris gallman again. Picks his way. This is a slow death for carolina, as he gets down near the first down marker. It will be third and short. Kirk this offensive line and this system isnt asked to, you stance and blow people five, seven yards off the ball. Old school style of football like you might see with stanford or wisconsin. This is more of just kind of, get a hat on a hat, cover a guy up and let Wayne Gallman kind of find the hole and he has such great vision and quickness that you dont have to blow people off the ball. Just, like i said, cover him up and let him do the right. Chris this time its watson. Rolling out, keeping it. He is dropped for a loss. Collins, the linebacker was there, and its fourth down. Kirk heck of a play there by collins. Chris tried to get watson, his third rushing touchdown. Hes also rushed for over 100 yards. 1 22, to compliment gallman. On fourth down, theyre keeping kirk go up by 15 and get a touchdown and a twopoint conversion. Chris swinney is going to let the play clock wind down and then see if he spends a timeout. Looks like theyll take the delay. Kick the field goal. Opportunity has no slow season. No offdays, or downtime. Opportunity is everything you make of it.

Ice breakers cool blasts. Chris like to watch the can follow it on espn3. 2 14 to play. Tar heels will get the ball back down 15 after the chip shot field goal. Touchdown would have erased any hope. But theres still a twoscore game game, in theory. Saw a very satisfied looking deshaun watson. 26 of 42, 289. Three touchdowns. One pick. And has a runner, carried it 22 times for 1 22 and a couple more touchdowns. So, hes up to 40 touchdowns, responsible for this season. Actually 41. Lets not slight him. 41 total touchdowns.

Our lgv v10 moments of this championship saturday. Theres a flag late after the lets check out that first and then well show you some of the memorable moments from today. Referee unsportsmanlike conduct on number 24. This is 24s first unsportsmanlike conduct. Chris that is another mental mistake. Herschel walkers single season s. E. C. Rushing record fell today. A monster afternoon for derrick henry. Alabama secures the s. E. C. Stanford beat uscf the second time. They win the pac12. But they needed a clemson loss to make a case. Kirk yeah. Probably well, they are headed to the rose bowl now. Chris how about that penalty . A dead ball sets the heels up at midfield and now williams scampered for five. Thats just inexcusable. There have been a lot of those tonight for clemson. Kirk its a freshman, mark fields who is from charlotte. Hadnt been playing a lot and hes been working a few of the players over. Thats all you can do as a coach and then get in the film room and hope they learn. Even his teammates are trying to calm him down. Field is a freshman. Only chance he gets is special teams. Chris williams pressured. Jump ball. Over the head on the receiver there. Alexander was in coverage. Theyre not showing a lot of urgency for being down 15 in the last two minutes here. Kirk they better find somebody to help bentley spain. 90 in orange, hes a handful, as weve seen all year. Shaq lawson, again, gets the pressure and gets in from the blindside to affect marquise williams. Chris need six on that third down. They pick up the pressure this time and williams delivers but over the head over mack hollins, who was open across the middle. Ford wrapup follows the game and this is it for carolina to keep any hope alive. Got to get the six yards. Kirk and again, theyve got to i dont know if theyre going to chip with the tight end to help. Got to do something to slow down the pressure from the blindside of williams. Chris do you blitz . Keep coming off the quarterback . Kirk its been effective. But right here is the guy they have to watch. Chris they rush only four. Williams has room. Has a first down and a lot more. Weaving down into the red zone. 1 30 to play and the heels are threatening. Interesting. Boulware blitzed, but they played mantoman under and they lost the quarterback. And because of that speed, he picks up huge yards. Chris the chains werent even set and the heels are playing and williams throwing for the end zone. Working on alexander over there was davis. Kirk the chains arent set. Balls are being snapped. Chris those guys over there were hustling as they could and the heels are ready to go. Kirk theyre not slowing down for anything. That ball gets by, theyre ready to roll. Chris theres urgency now. Davis has to come off the field. Kirk they have all three timeouts. If they can score without using one one, it can be interesting. Chris williams delivers short. Catch made. Switzer escapes and scores, and hold on the heels cut into the lead. Kirk go back to the un unsportsmanlike penalty on the kickoff. Gave them great field goal range. Gave them life. And how about switzer . Tough little guy. Electric. Dabo swinney. Chris weiler for the p. A. T. To make it an eightpoint game. Knocks it through. That took only 1 01 to cover the 49 yards. To Cassidy Hubbarth with an update that will interest everybody who is thinking about the playoff. Cassidy . Crazy update for the big ten championship game. Michigan state was stopped on first down and second down. L. J. Scott looks to be stopped on third down, but finds a way in, capping off a 22point, 82yard drive. Over 9 04. Its 1613, Michigan State with under 20 to play. Back to you guys. Chris 22play drive . Kirk think about that. With so much at stake. 17 runs out of the 22 plays. How about Mark Dantonio . And on a fourth down, they ran an option play with connor cook. Chris so, now having those deep and play defense . The tigers are expecting an onsides kick. Kirk you have to kick an onsides kick. Chris they tried a couple. Weiler has not succeeded this year. But all of a sudden, youre right, this game looked to be completely over. They got the stop and forced the field goal attempt. Kirk clemson at times tonight their own worst enemy. Chris got a couple kickers in there, so, who is going to end up booting it . Theres deception right here. Gets the hop it was mission handled. Ball is still bouncing around and the heels have it at midfield a flag did come in. Kirk i think its offsides on North Carolina. Referee offsides, kicking team. Fiveyard penalty. Rekick. Chris it was freeman jones, the kicker who came in there and booted it. It now. Kirk i want to see where this offsides is. Because i didnt see it. Chris i didnt, either. Another look kirk 30 is the closest, but hes not offsides. Nobodys offsides unless it was on the other side. Unless it was from the other side. That shot doesnt show, to me, doesnt show anybody offside. Kirk nobodys offsides. Flag will come from the bottom. Nobodys offsides. It looked like hunter crawford, the linebacker dave, is that reviewable reviewable . That is not a reviewable play. Kirk wow. 30 is the closest, but i have to agree with you. I dont see a clear offsides there. Kirk crawford, 30, the linebacker. Chris neither did fedora. Wow. Kirk oh, my god. It looked like it was mishandled by the tigers. Recovered at the 50 and the heels with three timeouts chris would have been in business. Kick. This time, its weiler. And this ones fielded, the hit made, it didnt go ten yards but the ball came out a scramble now back at the 30. Orange ball. Can you read the lip of the officials and clemson has recovered, but not without another adventure on that attempt. Kirk wow. Thats a shame. Chris those guys got a running start on the previous attempt. And maybe the official just an anticipated it was going to be offsides. Heres the second one. Kirk wow. They go to the other side. Boy, great hit there by the linebacker, schoettmer. Might get on top of it. Switzers right there. Chris renfrow is going to get credited. It didnt go ten, but it was played. You can hit the guy there. Kirk i want to go back to the first one, chris. I still maybe were missing something. Lets check again. Theres nobody offsides. Chris not even really within a yard. Referee timeout chris that call, not reviewable, would have given North Carolina the football at the 50 down eight. Kirk with three timeouts. Chris instead, clemson now will have 1 08 to just bleed out a hardearned win and now, a challenge from carolina on this ruling of a clemson recovery. Hasnt been the easiest year for acc officials. A lot of funny stuff. Wellofficiated game until this moment. So, dave, theyll challenge and look at the ruling of a clemson recovery, but isnt this tough to overturn with replay . Very much so. You have to look for two things. A recovery in the immediate and continuing action of the play. Nobody stopped playing. And you have to be able to see a clear recovery. Chris heres what theyll check. Kirk, schoettmer delivered a big shot and that knocked the ball loose. And then the scramble is on and renfro, number 13 there for the tigers reached around and got the ball. Kirk yep. You know, Michigan State now this will stay. Kirk Michigan State now in indianapolis, they are win. They beat iowa, like you said. We know about oklahoma. We noack alabama. Looks like clemson after how now, it comes down to, how do you rank these top four . Iowas now out. You got Michigan State in. Referee after further review, the ruling on the field is confirmed. Kirk and now it looks like chris confirmed it is clemson bag with 1 08. Dabo swinney was adamant. He felt like if they beat the number ten ranked team on a neutral field that, having been number one in every set of rankings, he furmly expected to keep that top seed. Kirk i cant imagine the committee, with him being undefeated, with the teams they had to play, notre dame, florida state, North Carolina. Chris watson makes a couple of guys miss. Needs to protect the ball more than gain yards. The heels will spend a timeout. Kirk alabama has seven wins against teams that won eight games or more. Theyve looked very good. Chris the eye test versus the resume. Kirk exactly. Thats what jeff long and the committee, when they get into the room tonight and in the theyre going to have to talk about. Not just about the resume. We get caught up in the resume, but its not just the resume. The order. Because we know the four teams. Thats a lock. Have year. So, we know the four teams, or at least we think we do. Kirk the suspension is, who is going to play who and where . Thats still interesting. Chris ive wondered from the start, because of the fluidity of the rankings near the end of the process last year, whether or not they might move some teams around as gallman fights for a yard. You know, they would never say that matchup manipulate is part of the equation, but if you sop down not having the big ten team in that fourth spot, they could be accused of trying to adjust the matchups for whatever reason. Kirk after watching all the games today and what was at stake coming in with Michigan State and iowa being a 45 game, with the way that game unfolded, i dont want to asoup anything. But i think i would speculate that the Michigan State winning, beating iowa, will probably be at four. So, i think its really more about, where do they how do they deal with clemson, oklahoma and alabama . What order are those three teams . Chris be hard to imagine moving oklahoma up. I guess the bigger question would be, do they flip alabama over clemson . Or, if you keep clemson at number one, they would be placed in the orange bowl on new years eve against the number four seed. Top seed being, giving geographic preference. That will do it. Little controversy at the end with that phantom offsides call. But it looks like the player of the year in the acc is going to be the quarterback of the acc champions. Dr. Pepper unrivaled player of the game, not much suspension there. 421 total yards, five touchdowns responsible for. Victory formation as the tigers are going to win their 16th in a row. Next stop, new years eve and the playoff for the champions of the acc. Go win it all said fedora to disappointment again for marquise williams. Losses bookending the tar heels season here in charlotte. And the quarterback just 11 of 33 33. Kirk class, larry fedora. Chris now, heather, once again with dabo swinney. Its become a familiar ritual. Heather a bit of a tradition for the two of us. Yes heather congratulations, coach. You told me that last year you had to watch this one on tv and it was the ultimate frustration. You vowed it would be you this year. How good does it feel to make that, fulfill that goal . It feels great. This division, you know, weve lost one game the last two years and hadnt been able to make it to the championship. You have to go undefeated to get to our championship. Just proud of our guys, man. 130, you know, in 1992 when i was playing, that was good enough for the national championship, not anymore. All it does is get us a chance but man, what a great game. Thats what College Footballs all about. Hey, North Carolina, goodness gracious. Im glad thats over. Im glad thats over. Great effort on their part. Just our team has had heart and guts all year long. I mean, they have found ways to win. Whether its a big turnover, big play. We got the best player in this conference and the best player in the country in deshawn watt sop. I think he moved that again tonight. But at the end of the game, our offensive line took the game over. I dont know what we ran for, it was a bunch. We ran a ton of plays. Had some mistakes and then our defense, you know, had a couple of big turnovers, none bigger than that last one right there at the end to give us the ball back. What a great win. Happy for the tiger nation. 130 and were looking forward to a pizza party tomorrow in death valley, baby. Heather you made a promise, you are going to have to keep that. Coach, you talk about being undefeated. You are number one in the nation. Now, youre acc champs. Im just proud of our team and our staff for coming together, you know . You dont accomplish things like this without a great belief in one another. And a love for one another. And these guys, you know, i told them i told them tonight, they already had won this game. They won it, you know, from january until right now. Tonight was just go take care of business. But a group of winners and listen, man, im just i am just fortunate to be part of it. The good lord has planted me here in clemson and given me an opportunity to lead these young men and im thankful for that. Its been a special season but we aint done yet. We still got a little more in us but this was a lot of fun tonight. Heather so, im going to give you the chance to make your case to the committee on where you should be ranked tomorrow. Wins. I dont think so. And were 130. Cant do no better than winning them all. Nobody made it easy on us, either
