Etienne TD vs. ND.


Jul 20, 2019, 3:10 PM

Has he ever had an easier TD run? I remember watching the game live and thinking, "How was he that clear that quick? Thankfully, they showed it in replay from the endzone camera. It was some combination of a great play call, a great audible by TL, a great read by TL on the LB, or a LB for ND just blowing his assignment. (Or maybe even both LBs blowing the assignment.)

Go to the 2:05:50 mark and watch. 3rd and 1. ND is clearly playing for some sort of outside, or at least off-tackle run. Both DTs are lined up outside the guards. Both LBs are lined up outside the DTs. When the ball is snapped both DTs go to the B gaps. Both LBs go outside the DTs. All Etienne has to do is run up the center's butt. Only one safety on the field. All he has to do is outrun the safety.

I can't tell if it was an audible or not. It looked to me like Lawrence was reading the LB on the right aside of the Clemson OL. When the LB went outside, he just handed the ball to Etienne and it was over.

What in the heck was the ND defense thinking? And, was it an audible, a read by TL, or just the perfect storm of a just happening to be the right call against that D?

Two perfect blocks by Falcinelli and Cervenka made it an easy read.

No doubt it was blacked well by all 5 OL. But, the fact that no defender defended the A gap made it easier.

My main thought was how quickly he was SOOOOOO in the clear. When he reached the LOS no defender was within three yards of him.

It was definitely a fun play to watch, over and over again. :)

It is fun to watch over and over...

but at least they held us to 30 points. Much better than giving up 59 in your home stadium while your fat, shirtless English Lit profs read pulp fiction paperbacks in the stands. Give the Irish some credit for that.

You are correct. We were horrible last year, much worse than ND. Clemson probably coulda put 80 on us if Dabo had wanted to. Hopefully, we will be better this year. But, probably not nearly good enough to hang with y'all.

And rightfully so...

Although Dabo wasn’t here for the 90’s and the multiple blowouts where y’all ran the score WAY up, I remember... and so do a lot of Clemson fans. Your noles have some payback coming. I hope Dabo takes FULL advantage of the current disparity in the programs, because y’all sure did. Every team in the ACC, really... but we’re the only ones strong enough to make you pay for it right now. Just be glad it’s Dabo and not Danny Ford.

Nothing personal against you; you seem like a good guy. But your program has it coming, if for no other reason than the way you empowered that scumbag Jameis Winston. Lots of bad karma just for that.

I hope FSU gets smacked real good for several years to come.

The big uglies. Cervenka crushes that DT

And that my friends is how "Touchdown Jesus" got demoted to "Field Goal Jesus."

Wow , 3 defenders were knocked to the ground and the others were stonewalled. Although, in the 'domers defense they got up and hustled, instead of standing around looking at ETN's tail lights.

I'd say Feaster's 70 yarder against Louisville was easier


Jul 20, 2019, 7:28 PM

if it wasn't for having to highstep the ND safety at the end, I'd give it to ETN

D stunt was the end coming down hard, and the linebacker filling his spot on the outside. Williams (44) makes a great block to prevent the D end from getting too ETN. John Simpson also drove thru and ended up picking off the linebacker... great o-line discipline and continuing with the play and not just making contact... ETN is a bolt of lightning when he see's daylight, Feaster did not have that burst, he may have had more top end speed but ETN has the burst...
