Clemson Flashback: 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl, 4th-and-16

There are a few plays in Clemson Football history that are remembered by their names — “The Catch,” “Catch II” and “Orange Crush.” Nothing else needs to be written. Every Clemson fan knows what game and what happened in each instance.

The other most popular play is called “4th-and-16,” which happened on December 31, 2012 at the old Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

Trailing by two points to No. 9 LSU and down to their last play, the Tigers needed 16 yards from their own 14 to keep its final drive alive and any hopes it had of knocking off the Bayou Bengals in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl.
