00:00The ACC side Clemson of course beat SMU 34 31 that was to get them into the

00:10playoff that would they would not have been in of course if they lost they had

00:13a huge lead in this game they were up 31 14 going to the fourth quarter SMU comes

00:19storming back they tie the game with 16 seconds left but bad coverage bad

00:27coverage on the kickoff return allowed Clemson to get to almost fit midfield

00:32only needed one play to get into somewhat field goal range and give this

00:36kid credit he hit an absolute bomb from 56 yards here it is on Clemson radio

00:43Sweeney the hole snap hole kick on its way got the distance doesn't add the

00:51accuracy

01:03I'll tell you what I thought Klobnik played great and I've never really been a

01:08big fan of his four touchdowns no picks I don't care about anything else he got

01:14it done they won they got into the playoff they covered I thought he played

01:20a hell of a game I thought he played a hell of a game too and I think the

01:25unfortunate thing for SMU was you know they they shot themselves in the foot

01:30early in that game with mistakes sloppy play turnovers gave Clemson a short

01:35field because I I think that they are I think they are better than Clemson now I

01:40get it they lost the game it is what it is but I think they were just too

01:44nervous this kind of like what we said on Friday Clemson's been there a thousand

01:48times in these ACC title games SMU hadn't been in it before and it kind of

01:54took them a half two and a half quarters before they really got in the game and

02:00were able to show who they've been all year and luckily for them they showed

02:05enough in that quarter and a half two quarters that the committee kept them in

02:09and put them in the playoff so congrats to SMU they get to keep playing they

02:14deserve to be in I mean that was a hell of a comeback you got to give them

02:19credit for that and the reality is this is that I think Clemson being in that

02:23game eight in the last 10 years paid off in spades in that first half they

02:30played like you know no nerve football they just got it done they put 24 points

02:35on the board you know they looked like they'd been there and done that before

02:38which they had right so they knew what they were doing in the game then in the

02:43second half SMU showed what they were about and that got them into the

02:47playoff and I think it's only fair they were much better than Alabama this year

02:52I don't care what anybody says they tried to sell that Alabama you know

02:56their big wins instead of talking about their losses and meanwhile SMU was just

03:01winning games what they go 11 and 1 until this game right so I think they

03:06deserve to be there and it was a great comeback
