The shame is...that 3rd quarter we had 2 shots to get within 35-21..The defense fall came through in the 2nd half. .if we punched it in there...Dome explodes and maybe, just maybe, the Clemson team starts thinking. I never thought a comeback was realistic..but I think we had a chance to make the score a lot less ugly and maybe just maybe,throw a legit scare into a potential nAtional champion.
I really wished HCSS had some more designed pass plays on 1st down...even just 5-6 yard quick hits. SU fell into the all too common trap of running on 1st passing on 2nd/3rd...Clemson was cheating hard on 1st and then dropping back into coverage on 2nd. Our passing game looked a lot more anemic than I think it needed to because of the predictability.
