Georgia Tech’s defense thought it had finally made an impact play against Clemson’s offense on Thursday at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
Leading 14-0 and facing first-and-15 on the 16-yard line, Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson and receiver Mike Williams miscommunicated. Williams ran to the 5-yard line and cut outside. Watson threw as if Williams was supposed to keep running down the field. Watson’s pass was intercepted by Tech cornerback Lance Austin in the end zone.
Austin ran out to the 1-yard line, where teammate Corey Griffin tried to leap over him. However, Griffin hit the ball, knocking it from Austin’s arm and back into the end zone.
