As he broke into the open field midway through the fourth quarter in last Saturday’s win at Syracuse, it appeared Deshaun Watson was going to make a house call. After stiff arming a defender, the Clemson quarterback cleared the second level and the only thing that stood between him and the end zone was a lot of green turf.
But as he went to move the ball from his left arm to his right, his leg hit it, causing him to lose control so he just went down to the ground to secure it. The gain was 39 yards, but Syracuse was lucky that it was not 85.
