Well Saturday hurt to say the least. It would appear that Clemson has stolen Tennessee’s lucky horseshoe, and hopefully won’t need it again. Saturday’s game against NC State was plagued with turnovers, poor blocking, and dumb penalties that practically cost Clemson the game. You could even make the argument that a few poor coaching decisions in the final minute of regulation, on the NC State side, kept them from winning the game.
The Clemson faithful have seen a few too many of these close games, and we can only hope that this game has taught them a valuable lesson.
