After all, we rushed for 323 yards on the #3 team in the country! And they had all those big pass plays! But actually we were worse on offense, (29-70) than on defense, (36-66). We had runs of 66, 28, 38 and 56 yards and a 32 yard pass play. But that’s 210 of our 397 yards and it resulted on only 2 TDs. The 32 yard pass set up the 28 yard run and the 66 yard run was for a TD. The 38 yard run was on a trick play and the 56 yarder against the third team long after the contest had been decided. We had 29 running plays of 3 yards or less and no passing attack to speak of, (74 yards, 32 on that one play)> We only got 13 first downs and had three second half trips to the red zone that produced a missed field goal, a failure on fourth down and an interception. If we’d converted on those we have a 35-49 game. Still a loss but a more impressive performance. We didn’t convert on those red zone opportunities because we had no consistent movement on offense. Defensively, we got absolutely torched on second down passes. Clemson was 10 for 12 for 271 yards and 3 TDs on second down. Other than that, we did pretty good. So did Custer. We had no major special teams blunders but Ryan Norton missed a makeable field goal. Riley Dixon had one spectacular punt but overall we lost the kicking plays 12-26. As they say, we got beat in all three phases. 65-136 is the most one-sided game I’ve charted in the three years I’ve been doing this, even over Wagner (which was 115-52). [/QUOTE]
