Watson Can Make a Final Heisman Statement at ACC Title Game
This is the weekend that Clemson and SC fans look forward to all year.
Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson and the third-ranked Tigers won their division. With a playoff spot still there for the taking for Clemson, catching an even more motivated-than-usual in-state rival for a night game in their building was not ideal for the Gamecocks.
According to a story appearing in The State newspaper, SC linebacker Bryson Allen-Williams made the accusation after Clemson’s 56-7 victory.
Virginia Tech running back Sam Rogers gained a career high 105 yards and two touchdowns in the Hokies’ 52-10 win over Virginia, its 13th straight win in the rivalry.
Players from both sides scuffled before the start of the game and Gamecocks linebacker Bryson Allen-Williams accused the Tigers of “disrespect” during the game. Williams, who finished with six catches for 100 yards, tied the school’s single-game record shared by four others, most recently by DeAndre Hopkins of the Houston Texans. Now, they’re ready for more.
The lone score for SC came when wide receiver Deebo Samuel connected with Bryan Edwards for a 33-yard touchdown.
Clemson (11-1) is facing Virginia Tech Saturday in the ACC Championship Game in Orlando, while USC (6-6) awaits its bowl destination revealed next Sunday. They’re still in the top 10 in both offensive and defense S&P+, so even if they’re not quite on the same level as past year, they’re still incredibly unsafe.
That interception began a dominant performance – which was the Tigers’ goal heading into the game. What a way for these seniors to go out. Clemson came out strong against Wake Forest and despite a lapse in concentration in the 3rd quarter, dominated for most of the game.
Deshaun Watson is in the rear view. “It was a great night, especially beating them”. So, we’re the Atlantic champ.
Neither wound up with a title, but one – Clemson – established a national brand with the charismatic Swinney that has led to continual success. It’s fun when you can see the finish line. “I know the character of our team and that’s really all there is to say about it”.
Artavis Scott resembled his freshman self in this one. Yes, there have been a lot of screw ups by the refs this year, but Clemson has also committed their fair share of penalties at untimely moments.
When you give your children smartphones to help them stay connected with the rest of the family and. I’m proud of our staff and our team. You guys really should exchange emails before the game so something like this doesn’t happen again.
Emotions ran high after the game beyond the slur charge. It’s kind of like when you have a little brother and your mom comes in the room and you have your PlayStation and your mom says, ‘Let your little brother play a little bit.
“I just soaked it all in and made sure I enjoyed my time and tried to slow the whole night down”, Watson said. “That means we’re playing for a championship”. We got beat tonight by a better team. “I don’t know which number”, Allen-Williams told The State newspaper.
“They have a good team across all three phases”. “On the road recruiting tomorrow, that’s the way we’ll change our program”. Not a surprise given that they are young, but it has hurt this team in the run game. The passing game is just as good if not a smidge better, but that doesn’t make up for OL play.
