I'm not sure what outcome I was supposed to be rooting for last night, but I ended up watching Joe Burrow thoroughly outduel the afghan hound, slice up Brent Venebal's defense like a little kid with safety scissors and put Dabo in a pine box.
To top it all off, Clemson had to suffer through a couple of blown calls, a targeting penalty to one of its key defenders, and a controversial call that took a touchdown off the board – all of which you just hate to see.
Turns out, that's exactly what I needed. Thank you, college football.
