I guess we'll never know for sure, but there does seem to be window to hit our receiver in the corner of the end zone had Shrader performed any check down. Clemson's defender (#1 in uniform) is around the 5 yard line and just off the right hash when our receiver is crossing the goal line at the boundary. It really would've depended on #1's closing speed and where precisely Shrader would've thrown it. If it's a good throw, as in just off our receiver's shoulder, etc. it appears that there at least would've been a chance.

One thing is clear, throwing into that triple coverage, not to mention the clock continuing to run since we were out of time outs etc., it was certainly not the throw to make there. I realize it's hindsight and all, but a major trait imperative for your QB to possess is solid decision making, especially at critical moments and when the pressure is on. As Blackledge remarked afterwards..."Garrett Shrader was looking one place and one place only to throw the football."

Not going to get too down on the kid because without him we’re not even in the position to Win it, nor 6-0, and he has shown the ability to make the key winning play (sometimes while getting absolutely crushed in the process) many times now in his career here or to get us in a position to kick a field goal to win it.

But if he had checked down to Tucker on the left for short gain or thrown it to the left corner of the end zone toward that receiver there, not the right corner of the end zone that guy was covered, the left side throw would’ve been miraculous thrown n catch but something like that could’ve been attempted a few times. Ahh what could’ve been!

GS has generally been a baller in crunch time so I am certainly not going to crush him on it, but the only thing worse than throwing into triple coverage was throwing into triple coverage for what would have been a relatively short gain, inbounds, with no timeouts and only about 15 seconds left. besides that... oh well, let's take out the Fighting Chumps and get that mojo back

Shrader made some good decisions at the end of the Purdue game and at the end of last years Virginia Tech Game.
