The ACC side Clemson of course beat SMU 34 31 that was to get them into the
00:10
playoff that would they would not have been in of course if they lost they had
00:13
a huge lead in this game they were up 31 14 going to the fourth quarter SMU comes
00:19
storming back they tie the game with 16 seconds left but bad coverage bad
00:27
coverage on the kickoff return allowed Clemson to get to almost fit midfield
00:32
only needed one play to get into somewhat field goal range and give this
00:36
kid credit he hit an absolute bomb from 56 yards here it is on Clemson radio
00:43
Sweeney the hole snap hole kick on its way got the distance doesn't add the
00:51
accuracy
01:03
I'll tell you what I thought Klobnik played great and I've never really been a
01:08
big fan of his four touchdowns no picks I don't care about anything else he got
01:14
it done they won they got into the playoff they covered I thought he played
01:20
a hell of a game I thought he played a hell of a game too and I think the
01:25
unfortunate thing for SMU was you know they they shot themselves in the foot
01:30
early in that game with mistakes sloppy play turnovers gave Clemson a short
01:35
field because I I think that they are I think they are better than Clemson now I
01:40
get it they lost the game it is what it is but I think they were just too
01:44
nervous this kind of like what we said on Friday Clemson's been there a thousand
01:48
times in these ACC title games SMU hadn't been in it before and it kind of
01:54
took them a half two and a half quarters before they really got in the game and
02:00
were able to show who they've been all year and luckily for them they showed
02:05
enough in that quarter and a half two quarters that the committee kept them in
02:09
and put them in the playoff so congrats to SMU they get to keep playing they
02:14
deserve to be in I mean that was a hell of a comeback you got to give them
02:19
credit for that and the reality is this is that I think Clemson being in that
02:23
game eight in the last 10 years paid off in spades in that first half they
02:30
played like you know no nerve football they just got it done they put 24 points
02:35
on the board you know they looked like they'd been there and done that before
02:38
which they had right so they knew what they were doing in the game then in the
02:43
second half SMU showed what they were about and that got them into the
02:47
playoff and I think it's only fair they were much better than Alabama this year
02:52
I don't care what anybody says they tried to sell that Alabama you know
02:56
their big wins instead of talking about their losses and meanwhile SMU was just
03:01
winning games what they go 11 and 1 until this game right so I think they
03:06
deserve to be there and it was a great comeback
