play not to lose.  Perfect example is last night's Clemson-ND game.  Clemson should have lost that game - period.  Watch the whole thing - I'm not an expert but Dabo changed the tempo of his offense and stopped playing to win and went into a run/stall game in the 3rd quarter!!!  While weather conditions were a factor, 21-3 was not the time to stall given NDs comeback ability in other games they played.

While I don't like the no defense teams in the Big12, they don't change their tempo (here is where I agree with Millhouse) and they keep pouring it on.  What I liked most about the LSU game - we allowed the players to play and Lester/Shafer just let them go all out.  Heck we had 4 - 4th down plays.  I really don't care what offense we play, just don't change it cause you cause the team to lose their mojo.  I even hate it when JB starts it too early.

What do we have with Lester/Shafer moving forward?  With 2 capable QBs in the stable to propel the offense, will we play more like we did in the LSU 2nd half or more like the CMU 2nd half?  I hope someone gets in the head of Lester/Shafer and keep playing to win and not play to lose like Clemson did last night.
