Boston College QB Anthony Brown's injury may have saved Clemson's playoff hopes | Matt Vautour
This headline caught my eye. I hope this isn't too mangey, but I'd like to discuss somewhere and not have to go over there. I figured y'all would prefer this to my other snarky posts.

He would fit right in as a Gamecock fan though, would be perfect for FGF. I mean hey, if they had Doug Flutie back maybe things go their way...Who knows??

at Wilkins. Calling the hit dirty and intent to injure.

I understand where they're coming from.

I'm not going as far as to call it dirty or intentional, but if somebody did it to TL, we'd be pissed as well.
I don't think it was dirty or intentional, but it was unnecessary.

Al Davis said it best, way back in the day:
"The Quarterback must go down, and he must go down hard."
I'm not going to hate on CW for a clean, violent hit. He'll learn not to do that in the pros, but if college allows him to, then cool.

Yeah. I never thought it was dirty ...just that CW

was going to hit him as hard as he could. Brown opting to try and make a play versus bracing for the hit made a big difference IMO.
meanwhile, keep in mind that Deondre Francois took a hit like that from CW or Big Dex one year and maybe missed one play. that dude is tough as nails.

but it wasn't a dirty play. If you want to play with the big boys, that's how it's done. Alabama would come at you with machetes if they could.
I remember going to a tournament with my church basketball team one year, and we played an AAU team out of Atlanta or something. I don't recall the specifics, but we were waaaay overmatched. We whined like that too.

I think he's a little on the optimistic side.

But he is right on one point: TL's head was spinning from some of those looks. That first protection shift, he took the bait to perfection.
I think Obed said it Saturday night...if he doesn't improve his pocket awareness quick, fast, and in a hurry, it is going to lead to a lot of pain and unnecessary suffering on his part.

BC didn't score an offensive point. They didn't come close to scoring an offensive point. The only reason they weren't blanked was because Clemson special teams is mostly a disaster, and ACC refs are idiots. Wilkins' hit was hard and fully intentional as far as getting into a QB's head, but fully legal in college football. Illegal in NFL, but this ain't the NFL. Even Addazio acknowledged that it was a clean, hard hit. BC might have moved the ball a little more with Brown, but let's not pretend like they're suddenly putting 30 points on the board with him under center.

they may have gotten close enough to try a FG

did they ever get inside the 40 yd line, even with the ref's horrific call?

I think with that muff, they got it at the 43.
Nov 12, 2018, 1:23 PM

And went backwards again, albeit not 39 yards backwards like they did the first try at the 43.

The game was nowhere near as close as the final score

suggested. If they had a gamer at QB that was taking them up and down the field, Clemson would have matched pace and intensity.
If you stop Clemson's passing attack, they'll run all over you. If you take away the run, TL will take the lid off the defense.
And whatever you try to do, Clemson still has that defense that never relents.
Boston College at the end of the day was still just Boston College. A scrappy little overachieving gang of 3*s that would embarrass SCAR but doesn't pose much of a threat to Clemson or Bama.
