TIGERS ROLL PAST OKLAHOMA, PUNCH TITLE GAME TICKET 

Clemson University’s football team emphatically punched its ticket to the second true national championship game – running over the favored Oklahoma Sooners 37-17 in the Orange Bowl game in Miami, Florida.

Now head coach Dabo Swinney‘s team is one game away from the school’s first national title in nearly three-and-a-half decades.

As he has all season, Heisman Trophy finalist Deshaun Watson led the Tiger offense – completing 16 of 31 passes for 187 yards with one touchdown and one interception.  The sophomore signal-caller also ran for 145 yards on 24 carries with another touchdown – making this the ninth game of the season in which Watson has scored on the ground and through the air.

Once Clemson (14-0, 8-0 ACC) got the lead in the second half, it turned to the “Wayne Train” to complete its journey to the championship game.  Sophomore running back Wayne Gallman – held in check for most of the first half – erupted during the second half en route to a 26-carry, 150-yard, two touchdown performance.

Clemson’s 312 rushing yards were a bowl record for the school – but even more impressive was the job Clemson’s defense did against Oklahoma’s vaunted running game.  The Sooners (11-2, 8-1 Big XII) were held to just 67 yards on the ground – with NCAA single-game rushing record-holder Samaje Perine limited to just 58 yards on 15 carries.

Coming into the game, Oklahoma was averaging 235 yards per game on the ground.

Sooners’ junior quarterback Baker Mayfield made his share of plays, but a pair of costly interceptions – including one in the final seven minutes of the game – doomed any shot Oklahoma had at staging a last-second comeback.  Mayfield finished the game 26-of-41 for 311 yards, one scoring strike and the aforementioned two picks.

Prior to encountering coordinator Brent Venables‘ unit, the Sooners had been averaging more than fifty points a game over their last seven contests.  Oklahoma actually led 17-16 at the half, but Clemson pitched a second half shutout to seal the deal.

Making Clemson’s second half defensive stand even more impressive?  The Tigers did it without star defensive end Shaq Lawson – who left the game in the first quarter with a knee injury.  Lawson led the Tigers in 2015 with 9.5 sacks and 22.5 tackles for loss on the season.

Clemson will play the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide (13-1, 7-1 SEC) in Glendale, Arizona on January 11 for the 2015 national title.  Alabama won national championships in 2009, 2011 and 2012 – and qualified for the inaugural four-team playoff a year ago (losing to eventual national champion Ohio State).

Clemson won the national championship in 1981 with a 22-15 victory over Nebraska in the Orange Bowl.  That team, led by head coach Danny Ford, finished the season 12-0.

All of them? At least you didn’t blame the win on the refs. If you’re calling the call for the fake punt a bad decision you obviously don’t know shit about football and likely need to sit down with your boyfriend today to have him explain it to you.

Rockie Veranalspicsterheimer January 1, 2016 at 8:56 am

Yep the fake punt was a stupid ass decision that could have cost them the game.The only reason it wasn’t 14-3 Oklahoma at that point was that faux flag for unsportsmanlike behavior the zebra’s threw on the Sooners.

USC or UNC. Gave up 400+ yards to both teams, so it was certainly fair to question the ability to stop a supposedly much better team. Doesn’t matter that it was “as much as they needed ” previously. I never said it meant that they lost. Just that it was perfectly fair and even rational to question the defense beforehand. We were 3-9 and UNC just got their rears handed to them by a 4th string quarterback.

Reply
Gamelosers December 31, 2015 at 9:14 pm

And both of those teams lost to Clemson. I doesn’t matter if it was by 1, or 100 points.

Daniel Boome December 31, 2015 at 9:22 pm

Good Lord, try to read things in context, please. The original poster was upset about people saying that they didn’t think Clemson could stop Oklahoma. My point was simply that it’s easy to say that now, but it wasn’t without warrant at the time because the Clemson defense was anything but elite in the previous six games, particularly against USC or UNC. I’m not debating whether Clemson won or lost those games. You have to be incredibly dumb to infer that from anything I said. The point in my response was clear. Trying to make this a debate akin to whether or not the sky is blue is all you are doing.

sparklecity December 31, 2015 at 9:47 pm

And you are wasting a shit load of time over a game that has been over for only an hour.
The Oklahoma QB suffered his 2nd concussion for crying out loud, odds are pretty good he’ll be using a walker in 15-20 years and all you do is wonder the equivalent of debating how many angels can dance on the head of a fucking pin
No wonder college and professional football has become an opiate for the masses
Thanks for proving that in spades!!!!!

Daniel Boome December 31, 2015 at 9:59 pm

Geez, how many deranged rants can you go on in a 24 hour period? You mistake me for a Clemson who cares about the outcome of this game. I don’t care one iota about what just happened as far as the outcome goes. I actually agree with you that it’s hysterical ti hear people refer to their team as ‘we’, as though they have something to do with the team and/or the outcome of the game. I was just poking fun at one of those delusional fans and another delusional apologist. It’s beyond me why you feel the need to respond to me on this.

Because the original charge was that Gamecock fans were saying “x”, “y”, and “z”. I’m a gamecock fan, therefore that is the ‘we’ I was using, not necessarily that I am part of or involved with the team. Sorry for the confusion, buddy. You just needed some context.

“With that, I’m gonna go back to watching the “Myth Busters” marathon” I was taking a break from the Alabama game to read all of your posts — the funniest things to make me laugh for a week! Reminds me of this story :
——————————————–
Joe took his blind date to the carnival. “What would you like to do first, Kim?” asked Joe. “I want to get weighed,” she said. They ambled over to the weight guesser. He guessed 130 pounds. She got on the scale; it read 110 and she won a prize.

Next the couple went on the Ferris wheel. When the ride was over, Joe again asked Kim what she would
like to do. “I want to get weighed,” she said. Back to the weight
guesser they went. Since they had been there before, he guessed her correct weight, and Joe lost his dollar.

The couple walked around the carnival and again he asked where to next. “I want to get weighed,” she responded. By this time, Joe figured she was really weird and took her home early, dropping her off with a handshake.

Her roommate, Laura, asked her about the blind date, “How’d it go?” Kim responded, “Oh, Wauwa, it was wousy.”

Andy Teasdall, the punter who was chewed out by Dabo at the ACC Championship for a botched fake punt, gets the chance behind 7 – 3 to redeem himself and successfully executes a fake punt pass on a 4 down and 4 for 31 yards from the 44 yard line in Oklahoma territory, which leads to Clemson’s first touchdown.

To all you trolls who were critical of Dabo’s behavior, Andy has an inspiring story that sounds like movie script. Dobo had the the confidence in Andy on a risky play that could have back fired in a 14 point swing. How could the players not love that man?

My Dad grabbed by my collar and dragged me out of church, humiliating me in front of the whole congregation, for misbehaving. The best thing he possibly could have done. I am forever thankful for his gutsy move.

In front of several MILLION people?

It was in front of the entire world of an eight year old boy.

A pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express
Praise for answered prayers. An older lady with faded blonde hair stood and walked to the podium. She said, “I have a Praise. Two months ago, my husband Jim had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was smashed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn’t know if they could help him.” You could hear an audible gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Jim experienced.

She continued, “Jim was unable to hold me or the children and every move caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation. They were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Jim’s scrotum and wrap wire around it to hold it in place.” Again, the men in the congregation squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Jim and the wire wrapping he has.

She continued, “Now, Jim is out of the hospital and the doctors say, with time, his scrotum should recover
completely.” All the men sighed with
relief. The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had anything to say.

A man rose and walked to the podium. He said, “Good morning. I’m Jim and I want to tell my wife, ONCE AGAIN, the word is STERNUM.”

I was worried that Clemson’s victory was so good that the experts would pick Clemson in the championship. No chance of that. Alabama 38, MSU 0.

Looking forward to it.

Boom boom boom boom

Don’t quite understand how a South Carolinian would cheer against one of it’s own schools in a national championship game. The Dirtpeckers season sucked and their fans are barely tolerable and some of the most fairweather fans I’ve ever met, but if they were playing for the national championship I’d be pulling for them, just as I did in the World Series championship games. But I guess there are some people in this state that are so hard headed and ignorant that they’d prefer a team from Alabama beat a team from South Carolina.

I don’t believe Gamecocks are fair-weather fans. After all, they have had a lot of bad weather in Columbia over the years. I think they’re among the most loyal fans in the country.

Read Cockytalk during a football season. At the beginning of the season they were wanting a statue of Spurrier put up outside the stadium, after the first loss they were calling for his head, wanted every assistant coach fired immediately and it only got worse until they ended up beating some other D-II team then calls for statue donations were renewed and everyone could keep their job… until the next Saturday. Rinse and repeat. When he quit in the middle of the season, the tar and feather crew started gathering supplies.

I believe most go to the games mainly for the excuse to tailgate. Which is why the stadium clears out at halftime.

I don’t give a rats ass what you do, I was just pointing out how much time you waste on a team you say you don’t care about. Are you over compensating for something? Its ok if you are and I honestly couldn’t give a shit, as at least I have a life unlike you.

Is salt an acid or a base?

Reply
Bible Thumper January 1, 2016 at 4:54 pm

acid + base  salt + water
example: HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq)  NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
NaCl is table salt is neutral.

Acid has extra H+
Base has extra OH –

No.. but I just came up with a novel idea – space is actually infinite energy, rather than “nothingness” – and if a region of space contains no matter long enough, a hydrogen atom is spontaneously created out of it. HA! it explains everything! prove *that*’s not true!

I have a theory about “the average poster” and its interaction with me as well.
