Rutgers scores on their first drive and holds on defense on Michigan's first possession. I know many would want an undefeated UM to play PSU but the schadenfreude factor of UM losing to Rutgers is enticing.

There are board rules about these kind of things. 15 yard PF

All in for the upset. Will be interesting to watch - Michigan selling out to stop the run - will likely be what they do to us.

Instead of a 15 yard penalty, why not require him to post in Standard English for a week?

 

[saxophone colossus]

Still waiting for the picture

 

[ManxomeLion]

Wait, rule clarification needed. Is Meatchicken NOT allowed to kick field goals after the play clock expires? Huh, who knew.

 

[LionJim]

FSU 0-10 Clemson at 11:30 2nd. Clemson looking really good.

and/or FSU looking really bad. It's still early (relatively speaking), but this could get ugly unless FSU steps up

That's an O$U rule

FSU going for it on 4th, at midfield, rats, a lean got them a new set of sticks.

Blown coverage and it’s FSU 7-10 Clemson at 5:10. Good drive.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

FSU does step up, and drives down to get their 1st score. 10-7, Clemson, with 5:20 left in the half

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Sorry boys the ads brand new and not on Google fu yet so best I could do while cooking

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

GREAT GAME. Does fsu fall past 7 if they lose? Too soon?

 

[LionJim]

Clemson took less than three minutes to go up 17-7.

yeah, FSU's D has not shown too much today.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

I’m respecting the fans orange level. Even moms commented on it

Rutgers playing LOS both sides tough. maybe UMich is not as good this year on LOS.

The announcers were saying that the UM OL isn’t playing as well as they’ve seen the last two years. 14-7 Michigan at the half.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Is it wrong to praise Greg McElroy, the dude is under the radar fantastic.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Auburn with a 53-yard FG with 5 sec left in the 1st half. 6-3, TAMU over Auburn

if Rutgers can play LOS game vs UMich like this, seems like we should able to be even better vs Wolves. I don't think anyone would suggest that Rutgres is better on the OL/DL than we are.

Our OL has to prove they're better than Rutgers OL.

IMO DLs are difficult to compare because of our approach. We don't clog the middle to stop the run. We move LBs around and blitz from all angles in an attempt to make explosive plays. A lot of times that works but it also leaves us exposed if we don't get the desired pressure.

 

[LionJim]

Clemson 24-17, nearing end of 3.

very interesting PI call against UMich turned over. it looked like it should have been turned over, but compare that the the PI callled against KLS last week which was not turned over and was a major factor keeping Illinois in the game.

Clemson 24-17, nearing end of 3.

and then a delayed blitz by a FSU defender causes a fumble, which is scooped up and returned for a TD. 24-24

Did you see prime times gold whistle. So good

end of game with UMich running the ball was textbook running out the clock. no silly plays to stop the clock, pushed Rutgers off the ball and did not make a snap until clock hit under 5 seconds. game ends at 2:45 EST. they get the ball with about 6 min and Rutgers never has another play on offense.

 

[LionJim]

How did FSU get the ball?

How did FSU get the ball?

Riley had a brain fart and ran a fake reverse pass that was blown up.
Dumb IMO.
Then missed a 30-yard FG

OL

It’s a good game. 24-24 FS driving. #14 Wilson made a hell of a catch. I’ve been multitasking and don’t think I have a good grasp of how the game’s played out so far, the ebbs and flows. Ah, overtime.

 

[OhioLion]

What a grab for the TD by FSU kid.

 

[OhioLion]

It’s a disease that the Clemson Q picked up from Riley. 3 and 1 and he throws the RPO. Hand off and it’s a first down.
Then incomplete pass and game over.
FSU wins.

OL

 

[PSUAVLNC]

Clemson made a ton of bonehead plays. Credit FSU, hung in there and won on the road.

Time to root for the Ducks. Never thought I'd say that.
