Duke vs. Clemson Full Game | 2018 ACC Football

Duke is women to us they have to fern Clemson will get the football first that will be Trevor Lawrence Jerian Kendrick is back purple down and he'll bump into his teammate and be dropped at the 21 yard line don't be fooled by the Hollywood hair he is the most common Hollywood person ever according to DAB Oh sweetie that great salad lettuce whatever you want to call it in tremendous numbers 19 touchdowns leads the ACC make no mistake about it tonight another opportunity for Trevor Lawrence just his seventh start every opportunity he has to come out and start a game especially at night here at home and Tintin continued progress is a step in the right direction for number-16 and to be blessed by having a back behind him like Travis ETN comes out first down yardage this Duke defense will be certainly without its top food players on the defensive side they're playing starting eight either true freshmen or sophomores tonight in this game certainly a challenge mister try to get to the edge and stop them to gain award Anthony the top of shame echa well tonight I think on this side of the ball t Higgins is the guy you have to watch out for six-foot for 200 pounds and he's going to be going up against a corner and Michael Carter who's good good player but only 510 180 pounds or big size advantage for the vertical Franklin Higgins about second out Warren Sapp organic and he'll be short of the mark of Michael Carter brought down it's nice recognition early from Trevor Lawrence putter Renfro was the only receiver to the trip side that was uncovered didn't have press coverage on him so you just raise up give him the ball quickly and we home the hook this young man is getting a late November this is what he starts to show up big 39th consecutive game were they in reception that is a new school record is incomplete off the fingertips of read-through normally reliable they can't bring it down and it's cooked down yeah that's an interesting play call 31 I think you want to come out and establish the run game the physical run game this is a Duke defense that's given up in the last three games over a thousand yards rushing so an interesting decision from drums and to throw the ball on third and short the Duke players were all saying we need to make one tackle to settle down and feel comfortable Clemson able to get the first down on the first play but three and out after that will spires is back deep to punt DJ ramming will return for Duke hesitation and that's where he is dropped so Duke will start with rough field position after a 51-yard putt Daniel Jones you want to be in the NFL you're gonna face an NFL front for tonight well certainly when the NFL scouts watch the film from Daniel Jones are gonna look at this one first I want to see how he plays against the best no question this crimson defense is among the best in the country as they often do Jones with no and that'll be the plan all night long Daniel helm but tight end daniel Jones comes in as a very hot quarterback you see his numbers from a week ago finally the best game he's played to the blue guys another quick throw pitch to ramming he'll be short of the first down he bought Wallace makes the stop so leaves we're going to see a couple things early from Duke offensive as you meant you can see empty you neutralize a big defensive wound like this and then the other thing you're going to see is a lot of tempo trying to get this big defensive line running and you got to get the first first down for that approach to walk Deon Jackson emotion JJ run for the first down and he will dive forward and he has it third and two he got three and now you'll see Duke ratchet up this tempo you get that first down and David Cutcliffe knows he has to use some strategies because he doesn't have the same kind of personnel obviously up front against this defensive on again that's Jackson emotion you see some of those two from Daniel germs are very cerebral cortex protections at the line cause plays in the run in pass game Tommy's not cerebral and Christian Wilkins well has brought the way from intercepting his daniel Jones Dexter Lynch got the handle so one of the things that teach these defensive linemen against a quick passing game you're not going to get to quarterback but get your hands up great job by Dexter Lawrence he hasn't had the same kind of pressure on the quarterback this year his sacks numbers are not quite what they were but he has been as influential on his defenses in about second down and ten Deon Jackson a straight run Jackson is averaging 14 yards per touch he does a lot with the football but that's over the last three games he is to keep the offense going forward he has those numbers touching a football a lot of his the backfield more so than as a running back in John game as well the additional night we fit with some time frozen Jonathan Lord coming back it's actually a loss on the play AJ Terrell excellent coverage and his fourth down and this plums in defense she might get him once we're forced to come back we're gonna they're gonna make adjustments Brent Venables one of the best in all the college football with his scheme knows exactly the strengths of his players and I think they will get better as this game goes on against his Duke attack the Mari Rodgers had a successful trip to Boston a week ago had a 58 yard return for a score leave a signal for the fair catch Clemson will take over Saturday at their own 35 after the 40-yard punt from Austin Parker scoreless early on we've kind of you to notice at NAMM thank you Clemson off that win at BC 27 to seven last week let's keep it simple knockout the back of that first ETN doop those come in greece you mentioned it i mean there without therefore there's single four best players on defense their top four out of eleven i think you'll notice you look at that defense attack a linebacker corner safety that's to all three levels of the defense and so they certainly have a tall task coming in to Memorial Stadium in this situation and Marc Kilburn especially of all of them he is the nationally recognized floor back among the better corners in college football and they'll miss him as omocha Rodgers makes the reception on Leonard Johnson and of course they come in there's no good topic coming to Clemson with those injuries but at a time when the Tigers are really humming on obviously yeah certainly they're getting used to this new this new quarterback and the way that he operates this offense it's a little bit different than they've had obviously with Kelly Bryant more of Reliance throwing the football maybe it's a pressure up the middle [Applause] it's world and missed again cannot connect with Hunter for the second time on a third down conversion and it's another fourth data that dupe defense - those four big guys opportunity knocks for somebody else absolutely and you see here Macker area twenty nine-year-old defensive coordinator you see his first year he takes over for Jim Mills who's now the defensive coordinator Oklahoma State very smart energetic young man and David Cook who very excited about his future inspired speech at the air for the 35 red and real drink back and take it at the 40 try to make something out of nothing and we'll lean forward to the 15 there is a flag down two flags to 53-yard punt here in the returned holding my number 96 of the return team to go along first out Chris Rumph flag there well Monday night we've got two of the best teams in the NFL Patrick mahomes Oh leave the Chiefs against Jared Goff and the RAM should catch that game at every ESPN show on the ESPN app start your free trial of ESPN Plus today you would think that one would need limited commotion yeah that is the highlight of the NFL regular season to the actually put down my schedule my phone you know I'm looking sir I know sit at home with kids and watch seven must-see television it's going to get loud in this stadium and backed up Duke is inside their ten yard line and Daniel Jones is about to hear something he probably never heard before a decibel level that's way up there the penalty is being forced from the end of the kick the holding was during the return but during the kick is half the distance to the goal line first now Riley Johnson is our referee here tonight for spotting it at the 2-yard line got cook protection looked everybody offer them through to the right to Jonathan Lloyd who could not bring it down Terrell on the coverage Todd how loud is it down there it's the how did the other thing is I'm standing about five yards behind Jones is he's trying to single in the plays these teammates know what's going on you struggle with that and then I'm just staring at these four defensive linemen and picking man I'm [Applause] calls for the snap the play fake able to complete two davis koppenhaver his tight end kendall joseph made the stop i think you see early on what David Cutcliffe his approach no matter where you are in the field backed up inside your five the best thing that Duke does is throw the football with Daniel Jones so no matter where you are this game is going to be on his right arm down into swings it out to Deon Jackson has the first down Isaiah Simmons knocks him out of bounds Greece I know it's early but they do not appear to be fazed by the bright lights and the noise they they seem as cool and calm as they were when they met with us yesterday yes certainly and what I have to lose though leaves you don't come in here play your game play with tempo take your best shot if you're Daniel Jones everybody knows you're up against in here the chemist Jackson and he's been on the long way a'right into the heart of that defensive line of Dexter Lawrence and Christian Wilkins the matchup on this side of the ball really shot on that last play with jack wall bought at the Ohio State transfer center number 50 going up against any one of these three defensive line in the interior but Dexter Lawrence especially you see some double-teams there get great protection for daniel Jones losin to me it's Daniel hell the Titanic midfield [Applause] in the Clemson territory as the great protection from Jones leads to a 37 yard gain first adjustments in bread playing song coverage back there I don't think you're gonna fool Daniel Jones he's playing it up football and Brent Venables is coach snuff football these two are going to go at it all game long and that chess match that time Jones dig it up there's tones again [Applause] second I was looking to go to jerec garter and he had a : very end when Wallace was able to knock it away give credit to Kavon Wallace this is going to be a catch Steve as he doesn't come in with that left arm and rip the the arm down a little bit of a shot there by Jones the best bless the way the whole games going to be for him great play by Kevin Owens play what role got to at that time checks in front of the first down and this is a most impressive drive about the bluedevils that started at their own - and they need to keep this template going right this is their only chance against this types of defense is to get this tempo going keep those guys the big guys on the field right now Laurens not out there or welcomes straight handoff to Deon Jackson right into the pile and let me just get this out of the way right now 99 cleared Farrell one of the big stars it was insane fellow he was telling people just this week that he won't likes last name pronounced plural as in referral so that's what will go with the rest of the way whatever he says I'm doing that's good enough for us 6 for 265 when a youngster of 9 [Applause] second down and nine it's Jackson making plays and yet another first down Chad Smith makes the stop it's a gain of 10 the catching clumps by surprise Daniel Jones yes daniel Jones getting hit on every play but he's standing in there and making the throw finding the open receiver he may have to get to the second third receiving option but he's finding them consistently and so far Deon Jackson out of the backfield has been a mismatch problem for Clemson first from 10th Lawrence and Wilkins are back in it's Jackson a demotion backside pressure frost Boston Brian was covered with as a flag office number 77 five-yard penalty first down that's Robert trailing the redshirt sophomore to try to do something that no one else in the country has been able to do to Clemson run the 28 Tigers have not allowed a first quarter touchdown you notice that clips in his good playing with no safety in the middle every single snack first and 15 after the marker Jones droid and completing to ramming and it'll screw that about the reason why they're playing with no safety Stevens they're not worried about the vertical passing game right now they know that that they have to throw the ball quick because of his defensive line so they're playing the perimeter more so than the middle field every surprise if Duke tries to take a shot there soon pressure down the sideline and again ramming unable to get to that one Terrell running with a step to step and that's a good example of a quarterback can lock the ball up like this knowing there's no free safety factor but ramming just not physical enough to get around the quarter up third down and seven trucks in Russian history sometime and now that the take off for the barber we'll get there I say if Simmons came up to make the stop it'll be fourth down it doesn't get the first down but really impressed by Jones they're feeling the pressure keeping his eyes downfield stepping up it's time to bail on that pocket by Simmons to Tyler to get that big back Simmons starting for the first season taking over for Dorian of Daniel he's getting better and better each week on film as I've watched here's Colin we're on to kick it out of the hold of Jackson Hubbard this will be a 33-yard attempt for the fifth year senior on the way to give Duke the lead of senior night that school flash around the country 3-nothing took a couple of classes of 51 victories the Crimson Tide class team had 53 wins kyndra from the goal line for crunchy the far side there is a flag down the Tigers will have the football again trailing three nothing two-point 83 yards for a figure return holding by the return team number 18 penalty is 10 yards from the spot of the foul first down clumsy that took scoring drive started from their own chew at Dan buck alright see thank you very much West Virginia Oklahoma State Taylor Cornelius to Tyler Wallace and the folks take the league of the number 92 the country all they can handle it's forty five to forty one last shot for will Grier scrambling go for sales no good Oklahoma State Bulls not 45414 the best games the day Steve I didn't thank you how about that after last week right losing by one Tesla what a great job by Mike Gundy and finally you know everybody's complaining hey can we get a shake-up in the top ten nobody in the top ten lost the week ago there is your top ten loss with number nine West Virginia going home going uh going down this week well I just think right such an emotional game better than last week they goes with tool to bury as a game don't get it and then you would anticipate maybe a letdown come out flat but what a great win for Mike Gundy and the Pope's Ohio State got all they could handle today in overtime with Maryland this was almost controlled against Indiana to pretend he didn't really eat Seattle running around the Citadel gave Babb all that can handle East than a half time anyway triple option a great equalizer and here it's three nothing too look at this dominated the first quarter of this football game like we said scored for the first time on Clemson in this in this court take the lead where they got three and a half to play of the first quarter check back in an hour don't go anyway look go away see how this plays out together Saturday night two tugs from South Carolina and completing to Milan Richard Brandon Hill made the stop important game for Brandon Hill for Duke he is a South Carolina kid Clemson offered him I don't know how many kids pass on Clemson to play football and go to Duke Hill said he wanted the education and the football he got it both as a glue gun got his first start of his career last week against the University of North Carolina gotta believe his feet barely touch the ground so far we're down at six [Applause] Rogers he was thinking here yards after the catch without securing it and Ben Humphries the emotional leader of that tube defense knocks it away great job by Humphries not great position there he's going to miss the tackle fortunate to get a boat Paul on that football but we had a chance to talk with Ben Humphries last night a very impressive young man and he's kind of been the glue that has kept this defense together with all the injuries about this will spires is punting for the third time already he's putting from his old goal line Luke should get excellent field position it's a short punt punting has been an issue for Clemson grabbing calls for the fair catch and so Duke will take over and they're all of 49 Ben Humphries he's the only senior snorter on that defense everybody on that Blue Devils team making plays early on here in South Carolina also known as Death Valley he bleeding Brian Griese and Tom McShea with the Blue Devils of Duke leading by a score of three nothing to catch the football at midfield they have been impressive so far especially on defense and as scoring drive started at the 2 [Applause] Deon Jackson running past people and he's inside the 30-yard line Denzel Johnson made the stop and Jones took another hit well yeah they're getting they're getting yardage in the running pass game but Daniel Jones is bearing the brunt of Thea of the damage because these defensive ends have been taught to hit him at the mesh ball 22 yards for Jackson of the landsraad his Jones now for it down furro got the big hands up that has no chance of being completed there's a difficult spot rolling against her drawing Armas is very difficult ill-advised trying to feat squeeze that ball and he's actually lucky that pearl knocked it away [Applause] I'll come up to make the stock see what Clemson is taking things a little more seriously on this possession it's like anything else right you have an opportunity to see a team four to three Brent Venables gets a chance to talk to them on the sidelines the strategy [Applause] the Blitz picked up nicely it's lofted there was definitely some content on Chris Taylor the receiver AJ Terrell interfered yet Terrell had a handful of Jersey on Taylor and as was an easy call for the official that'll be a holding call and a first down for Duke [Applause] defensive pass interference well be places spotters back the tallied number was number eight on the defense bab-oh seen his offense come out flat [Applause] [Music] here's Jones quarterback keeper daniel Jones uh McCoy the second and four situation to take advantage of these mistakes early to have to get touchdowns not field goals easier said than done against this front his fans that they came for a part injuries they came for a celebration they did not come for a nail second and four don't try to run it again we'll get back to the line of scrimmage Dexter Lawrence made sure that and then he lets you know about it the Flex third down as we at the final minute quarter number one his third out situations typically daniel Jones likes to find his trusted wide receiver TJ ramming normally lines up in the slot he's not very big you see him right there number three at the top of the screen cross the roads of Punjab Jackson at the top in screen no safety in Mayfield Joe's trying to hook up with ramming on the time it came out of his break a little late and AJ Tyrell had the coverage and some thoughts from Wilkins - Jones bit of a conversation at sport that there's an opportunity here Lansing they know they put their best defensive back into out on ramming that's what he wanted to go with the football just better coverage then throw here's Colin Wareham he's a fifth year senior but this is the first year he's actually kicking the football the walk-on hit earlier from 30 cool 32 to boost the Duke lead to 6 nothing in favor of the Blue Devils bit of a contact lens issue for Daniel Jones we've all been there he's been hit more in this game in the first quarter than he's been hit on behalf of games our David Cutcliffe one of the best of all time called the Oracle with respect to quarterbacks and you see his success certainly turned around this tooth Blue Devil program go to a bowl game for the 6th time in the last seven years that's like the best stretch for Duke going back to the 60s he told a lot of funny stories about how things have changed they wanted to go on game days into the beautiful chapel they have on campus there and there was another there are weddings in the chapel I get any kind of place in a big football program the football team comes first well not way back with Buffalo he said you know our field had all kinds of lines on it for soccer and from across and all these different things and the quarterbacks and then resuit didn't know where to line up go too many lines he's like enough of that I just want the gridiron lines the old-fashioned way and I'm fortunate out those weren't the only things on the football field he was worried about some people used to walk the dogs yes so it wasn't what you would think of a top-notch not complete but it's headed in that direction Kendrick Oh leap over a player or two so this Clemson offense we have searched so much about as yet to put a point on the scoreboard they came in averaging 46 points per game and you see the rushing not a single rushing yard [Music] with that offensive line on the sidelines during that during that break and you can guarantee that this offense is going to come out with a more physical mindset trying to run the football there's a rushing yard or two it's Tavian Feaster his first carry of the night the junior from Spartans burn the final seconds will tick down that will do it raise your hand if you thought tooth would be shutting it the Clemson Tigers came into this game averaging over 250 yards rushing a game so far they have not been able to find the holes against this Duke defense who's come to play with effort and intensity here tonight in Death Valley but we know Clemson they're gonna want to run the football they have got to get et in and Feaster going last time clemson trailed after the first quarter was the game against Alabama last year and the college football playoff the trail 10 nothing devil told us about shot he said the key to that game was the opening kickoff starting at the 9 yard line Tavian Feaster has the coach down the guy worth noting that travis ET n the starting running back he's not on the field and i saw after glass series he came off the field it was hot his teammates had to pull him away he's screaming at somebody he was frustrated from from the lack of brushing I assume and again still not on the field we'll watch for that I gotta keep her cool Turner large quick throw bizarre completing the TD Higgins that first down run by Feaster mark the first first down since the first play of the game by Clemson and they're only first downs as we hit the second quarter I think it's worth mentioning just for perspective this Duke defense last week against North Carolina they gave up four touchdowns in the first six possessions of that football game but give them credit they have not shied away from this challenge tonight they've come to play that's why Rogers motion Feaster is rocked and on back to the line of scrimmage maybe stop by loving him rummy young comes right off the eggs unblocked and we talked about Brandon Hill and how much this game means to him being a big fan of Clemson growing up same thing for luma young he didn't get a scholarship offer from these Clemson Tigers he'll be fired up to play tonight he said he had to stop himself all week from singing the song hold that Tiger he was a huge Clemson fan played his high school football through 16 miles TV videos ah the first down whitey Higgins went down kind of awkward at the end of that play great throw and catch but take a look at him at the end of the play here as he walks off to field gingerly infections okay Brandon Fein stir on the tackle Clemson across midfield for the first time tonight here's Lawrence to troll [Applause] but big-play exactly what clemson needed the true freshman Justin was on the receiving end Steve it's all about the release at the line of scrimmage we mentioned for a true freshman to have this much poise at the line of scrimmage against a bump in one corner you'll see that very often but that play was made by his release first down and goal [Applause] we're tired to the moment [Applause] [Applause] and a fine scoring drive for Clemson seven plays 75 yards for the touchdown here's Greg Hugo leaf in Deer senior out of the hole the wolf sweetie [Applause] for sweet [Applause] five touchdowns coming into this game and look at this release off the line of scrimmage physical with Feaster gets behind him and there's no stopping him once he gets into the second level Clemson took a punch early in this football game time [Music] tell him by a foot and to start at the 25-yard line so Duke all-time is 3:30 and two against the top five those three wins 1938 they had the score against Pitt then 1944 took care of Georgia Tech handily and 1960 when Navy was ranked number four in the country and I won that it came 1910 that's the big one there all three games at home the Jorgenson very much on the world s party TJ ramming out beyond the 30 Marty worked that kid he's worked every game and then since then this success has not been there against the top five really who has success against the top five and that's that's why they're the top five deflected by Dexter Lawrence and there is a flag down what's the second deflection from from Dex Lawrence he got the message in that defensive line meeting room this week if you can't get there get your hands up almost forced an interception from Shaq Smith there's no foul for ineligible down field the ball was tipped check it out and so Brent Venables has been pleat preaching get your hands up if you can't get to the quarterback there's no question he affects laws he's not [Applause] it's a lot of time he gets a big paw - balls sort of Jones throwing on the run and completing the ramming at about 4:40 and move the sticks again cool and calm we mentioned to Brett Venables he's playing hurt tonight grease dap dap oh yea he's playing hurt he's the quarterback at practice he's the scout team quarterback he just loves to do that and yeah he was throwing the ball in practice maybe a couple days ago we could go and caught his finger or it looked like on a helmet or some one of the defensive guys rushing him so hey sometimes you got to play hurt before camera guys can't get a shot because he's constantly moving he's getting an earful from Davo to dabble didn't like that last call they've been all out blitz on that third down and it was an easy completion to ramming and dad will let him hear about it and so in the excitement grease they broke the chains the first down chains on the far side [Applause] so we've got some some new first down blockers the chain links are all connected now ten here's Jones the profound a seam and ramming couldn't haul it in and Todd I think bendables is probably gonna have to walks himself from getting frustrated at times because of this this offense is being run by Duke David Cutcliffe we knew he was going to come in and he was going to write a lot of empty you get the ball out quickly and there's frustration from Venables and trying to get more pressure on the quarterback it's tough to do when the ball comes out that fast second and ten Dan is trying to stand up [Applause] drop by Christian Wilkins it's only a matter of time you're not going to be able to block these guys forever and especially one of the best in college football he gets matched up on the right tackle cradling and that is no match for Christian Wilkins you don't need I don't think the truth Brent Venables you don't need to bring to get to the quarterback you've got the best defense along the college football they get to him there the pressure David George he'll be dropped Cleveland furrow knock some down and it's fourth down maybe that's what demo is yell at Fred van pulls on the sunny Blitzen you know who we have Russian right that's mismatches across the board Kendall Joseph wasn't able to get him on the ground but the effort from Pharrell gets the sack and that's a fish he looks right it's a classic react with the fish Boston Parker get some pressure but I'll get it away mother watches and pops up Annie now try to make something out of nothing could have been disastrous [Applause] and winds up being just okay how's it fishing around these parts not much of a fisherman myself 54-yard punt Trevor Lawrence love station they ask you what you times October 13 2008 Dabo had just been promoted to interim head coach told everybody bottle all in each week gavel to this day give the players all in poker chips they dropped their chips in a bucket before the game showing they're all in for this one watch the celebration here at the end watch Cleland fir all the way he comes down he instantly grabs that right leg foot or ankle yeah looks like they were looking at his knee on the sidelines they're gonna quickly get him onto that 10 hopefully it's got a smile on his face anyway smile or a grimace will smile Travie CTN is back in the game that's also good news for Clemson there's a third down and mentioned that that press conference from ten years ago with with that whoa look how young he looked back then and how much he's accomplished in a decade's time and last week kind of consummated those 10 years his first win was at BC last week that big win up there in the cold at BC was an emotional week for him and certainly something that he could be proud of for many many years more than ten protection is good for Lawrence now isn't Russia and he's down that might be more frustration than injury we'll see he laid out for that football and he's definitely down boy and back-to-back series defense and offensively farol goes down and then Renfro yeah see if we can see when he he lays out for this football Steve does he come down on the football so it's just that his head hit our ground nine-one-one emergency my husband having trouble breathing first responders here at alive and everyone aged 65 and older who needs to hear Oh Israel

Oklahoma calimary the touch center from Center notes out Oklahoma's 47 points in every first quarter this year seven all right now this is Jayhawks in Norman Steve all right Adam thank you still attending to Hunter Renfro and again this is this is senior night here for Clemson and he is the most celebrated of this senior class to see his 43rd career start that's the most by a wide receiver in school history the touchdown catch to win the champion national championship four years ago and he is so popular and he headed straight for the Clemson locker room soon as we get an update on that we'll spy us back to the putt how is that not blocked maybe to cut a piece of that well spires punt Duke will take over at their own 38 invention did Josh Blackwell number 31 for Duke came right up the middle and had a great opportunity to get that football I think this is him here he's unblocked they just run right by battle you're right he just you got to go right up the middle and make sure you get that football if you're Blackhawk missed opportunity for do so did somebody actually get a piece of that football or was just not able to extend the kick [Music] Clemson's fourth punt five possessions well somebody must have gotten a piece of it or else would have been a flag on the play so Duke comes out throwing they get half of it on first down Daniel chose to Noah gray his first catch of the night as we wind under 10 minutes to go here in the first half Clemson 7 6 over Duke the Tigers have punted four times their first five possessions daniel Jones had a hurry that one a bit had pressure behind the Jonathon Lloyd his intended target we're down here again there's Ram treyvion Thompson and the slot here's the treasure flag flies out of the passes dropped dropped by Dion Jackson let's see if Clemson was offside offside defense number 99 and five-yard penalty workers own in the first down it's fur a little too eager touch listen I just wonder at some point all these body blows are they gonna add up on Daniel drugs we're learning one thing about him tonight that he's a tough dude time you knew that he was going to take to those shots when you signed up to play in this game this is the best defensive line in the country and order to win this game you got to stand in there make some toys and take those shots [Applause] by the end of this night quick throw able to complete Dima Julian Johnson his first catch at the gate of seven the good news for Clemson is that there's good news and bad news we the furrow is back out there healthy but he was off that last I always hate that option to go to the bed first which one you want they'd give you the good news next second of three David Jones underneath it's teaching ramming got a spot on shorty his fifth reception of the night already wholesale change here on third and short they bring Daniel Jones out of the game look at this formation from Tuck left the backup forgotten Harrison third down and one go and now they will Quentin Harris the backup quarterback able to get the first down and move the pile I think David Cutcliffe said listen Daniel Jones taking enough shots get 72 through the spear I hate running behind Julian Santos for that first down I think they're gonna measure this we're not just gonna automatically give it to all see the hits on Daniel Jones tonight he has held himself certainly up against this this defensive front but still a one-point game they're gonna eventually have to make these plays down the field and get the ball in the end zone in this game first out helps got the new chains everything going alright on this drive for Duke the NFL people must love this tape that they would pop in from this first half of Daniel Jones you want to see him in adverse conditions he's never faced anything like this before and I'm here at night against this team so the area of the field where they may want to take a shot downfield Deon Jackson in motion is a big play threat Jones running left throwing across his body to ranting standing tackle Trayvon Mullin made the stop at sorted tackle lots of five on the play this was a well designed play wide receiver screen they're gonna pull the tackle out chip to block Mullen watch him get around the tackle traveling and then gets ramming on the ground excellent job second and 15 [Applause] don't you and he can't bring it down Isaiah Simmons was running with him step two step third and 15 grant Venables just can't help himself he's going to continue to bring pressure this time he brings both linebackers and no time for Daniel Jones even has set his feet he just rolling that ball up to Lloyd think he's got a mismatch on Isaiah Simmons but she did just not even get enough time to make it more than 15 [Applause] run for it we'll get a lot of a yardage back Wilkins brought him down at the end about five yards short of the first down marker big time play from Daniel Jones may be worth three points when it's all said and done they were out of now he may give them an opportunity to attempt a field goal or David Cutcliffe may just decide to go for it here on forth they are 4th and fear thirty-six of Clemson [Applause] able to swing at the child annoyed pull-up first down but there is a flag down we'll check the marker daniel Jones who has punted five times in his career faked the kick and then threw for the first down and it's coming back I don't think I've ever seen that before I really like that you know all this to pass that appearance number five on the offense 15-yard penalty fourth down let's Loyd the receiver you know you get a quarterback in there and they they they sometimes will pooch fought quit kick but I've never seen the fake pooch ahead throw it didn't seem to have much of an effect on plunging defensively Jonathan lloyd pushed off on Terrell on the outside that's good call [Music] you got to respect that quick kick those Jones has done it did it twice against Miami this season and now that inside the 10-yard line both times on their side of midfield down and the pun [Music] we'll go into the end zone so this defense we told you about Greece said is missing therefore best players they held clumps to seven points in six minutes to go before half-time you gotta give him credit they have been up to the task in a run game clemson has not been able to get anything going in that area and that's really where their offense starts when they play well they run the football and the play-action comes off second and ten Lawrence after all trying to sip water in there Tootie Higgins couldn't bring it down and as good as Trevor Lawrence is okay as talented as he is if you're a defensive coordinator where do you want to put the game on Clemson shoulders you want to put it on the true fresh no question that's exactly what Gary the defensive coordinator for Duke has Donny salma take away the run game and force you to throw the football and that's how we want to force you to try to win the game forever he looks like a true freshman himself I'm not buying the 29 years old thing Lord Smith's last four Throwdown of 10 and the ETM might have moved false start offense number 9 five-yard penalty third down and I got to be honest yeah in this first half I have seen Davos Sweeney doing more coaching up and down the line of scrimmage with coaches players groups of players that I have all season long he is going up and down talking the offensive line one time then he's getting after the guys that are making penalties he's talking with Brent Venables he's all over the place in the first half I think it has everything to do with the fact that those two losses they've had the past two years in the regular season trying to get through the bun to 15 can't connect with a Maori Rodgers Lawrence has looked off the mark tonight he tried to go to Renfro a couple times they could not connect this Duke this Clemson offense seems out of sync that credit that to Duke but some of that sound the Tigers to no question and you're gonna have situations like this you know when you have true freshman playing quarterback he's kind of off and you're gonna have to brand in Streeter the quarterback they're talking to him and you see Davos really animated on that sideline but they had a situation like this before when they played Syracuse Todd and they had to overcome adversity dad just kept watching this to me turbo turbo Lawrence just doesn't seem like he's on tonight listen to many rider spiders is short again the pumping has been an issue for Clemson prior to tonight may be their only issue takes a Tigers bounce fifth punt in six possession and then thank you I predict that people are calling their cable operators tonight saying give me the long horn Network I want to be able to watch that football game arguably the best matchup of the weekend aren't you see Clemson the only losses they have suffered last couple of years Pittsburgh briefs Ian McShane we're here for that I've had it been on them and last year at Syracuse with tough loss [Applause] throwing sideline for Chris Taylor and Trayvon Mullin pant the coverage I think there's two losses trying to stick in in Davos Sweeney's mind and he's trying to avoid that here in this game you see him over here this is with the offensive line he's trying to be prevent throw proactive with respect to getting these guys settled down he's they have not played well in this first half there's no question on either side of the football was trying to get him settled down Jones to throw the Jonathan Lloyd took a high hint from Isaiah Simmons did not hang out of the football but a flag came in you're looking targeting on Isaiah Simmons because that's a defenseless receiver personal foul targeting [Applause] later than the further adue they will look at it so remember in this situation right you've got a receiver trying to catch the football by definition of defensive receiver and so any any hit to the head or neck area has to be forcible contact by definition is targeting now the replay of fists will have to make this determination is that forcible to hand right it's a no we're so used to seeing a target with up with your crown your helmet it's a slap to the top of the helmet it doesn't have to do with the crown right because this is a defenseless are you saying that usually it is we're always talking about the crowd of the helmet that looked like a slap to the top of the helmet and again this is the this is just a definition of the rule and that replay official the only determination he needs to make at this point it was that forcible contact or not table zamorski is our replay official [Applause] looked like he was trying to slap the football and just ended up hitting his head whose head can't be targeting in the spirit of this rule is these guys that are defenseless that they're trying to protect that head and neck and all costs right and I agree with you that's that to me does not characterize for summer [Applause] when time and time again you know we see these defenders doing anything they can to get the football out and they long they deserves to be in these games unless it's clear then I don't think you call targeting but that was well done by the official just a weekly booth fix yes you make the call anticipation and then clean up on the backend the officials did that patches batted down at the line Christian Wilkins got a hand on it I can't tell you how impactful this this is because you know you're probably not going to get to the quarterback Christian Wilkins is double-teamed that was going to be a completion for a potential first down instead to get off the field with the third time they've added a ball down Wilkins and Lawrence keep getting those hands up 27 past attempts already for Daniel Jones who threw at fifty four times a week ago in the win over North Carolina immortalizes crashed into at the 20 yard line Brandon Hill the big special teams papa and it stays a 7-6 game this season for every field goal an extra point made by participating universities all state will make a contribution to the university's general scholarship bonding all of us thank you Allstate five and a half to play in the first half it's a seven six game [Applause] the reviews so they look at targeting on the return of that punt you mentioned Brandon Hill came running down and laid a big stick on Amar'e Rogers again punt returner by definition is a defenseless receiver the defense's player excuse me [Applause] it's closed after the kicking team number 32 targeted the receiver for picking two automatic first down number 32 is disqualified so Brandon Hill is gone from the football game South Carolina kid tough blow for him and again the ruling here this is a defenseless player and no matter no matter what body part hits in that head or neck area if it's forcible contact they're going to call that and whether you agree with it or not that's the that's the definition in the rulebook as stated and it's unfortunate for Brandon Hill and unfortunate for Duke because he is the replacement for Joe Joe Harris they're starting and best defensive players so now they're down to their third team will linebacker playing the rest of this football game watch for Jacob Morgenstern see if he sees the field five minutes to go here in the half [Applause] all that time that it's going to come back and be holding on the offensive line for Clemson holding offense number 59 10-yard penalty second down penalty on gage Cervenka this game has slowed to a crawl Kobe Kwanza has checked in in place of Brandon third down and gage Cervenka has been starting the last couple of games he's been in there in place of Shawn Pollard he's had some issues with back spasms sir Bank has also played some Center the interior of this clubs and offensive line if you wanted to look for a in the armor for Clemson but it's been this into the offensive line in my opinion as you look forward to some of the people they may be playing in the future that's an era they need to get better to Duke's gonna bring all that pressure they'll just rush for drat Darien Kendrick had the football in his hands and was thinking green grass and six beauty of a ball for Lawrence is dropped his investor oh that the night so far and he did a great job too with the pre-snap read he saw the cornerback was coming off the slot the safety then worked down into that number two receiver so he was able to put that ball up down the sideline got to be caught true freshman Rock Hill South Carolina and on fourth and nine whistle fighters another punt yet another part GGO rabbiting the fair catch at nan burke the update all right Steve Laney since knife take on UCF college game is there Mackenzie melons been great right here trips Kimani fits all over it for the Bearcats six nothing right now at the mix and then thank you so we asked dabble about some of the issues what's going on he talked about the number one issues the punting and so we talked about maybe we'll get into that story tonight you said that's it flex and does punt they have punted six times [Applause] punch by crunching and we're not even at halftime Britain brownie ball carry his first time over there [Applause] [Music] again it's Britton Brown finally to getting some people back he missed the last two games at a leg injury an ankle injury earlier this season the Cutcliffe likes to spread the wealth and spread the football to three running backs he says and had that luxury of people being injured that's pregnant field the game [Applause] it's Dexter Lawrence short yardage situations but Dex Lawrence here he is and I don't care if you try to double-team him we talked about the matchup with wall above the center and he just whiffs yeah a big stop how big how that stop is if Duke goes down before half and gets points and runs out the clock they take a lead in a half time now you give your offense a chance to give back a little bit momentum there's Austin Parker able to get it away la just a fair catch clemson will start at their own 32 we said it earlier Trevor Lawrence spin just off tonight [Applause] he's been high times he's also had to throw into some different works he's gotten confused at times but but all in all he just looks a little bit off a little bit rattled and I can't tell you we talk every week about to me one of the the most important series for a quarterback is the series right before halftime right because you can really develop momentum in the two-minute drill but look at that that's I haven't seen that kind of drive chart for Clemson in the last three four years halftime adjustments figured to be key dapple might tear some paint off that locker room I'd be like Sabin was earlier today I'm first out of 10 [Applause] that passion SWAT is off and his backs and receivers aren't helping him out either no back to back drops etn we mentioned that right young players he's just a true sophomore he was vocal at the start of this game wasn't happy with the run game and as soon as you start running your mouth right some of these things start to happen that's when we have young players like this that have played a lot of football for you and where's the leadership coming from on offense right it's a question that nub wide receivers to in their leader on the offense prime hunter Renfro and we probably won't see him again tonight shake it up have to try to make the catch here's T Higgins first down yardage we managed to go here in the second quarter both teams still have all three timeouts remaining and if it were me I would start to feed a steady diet to number five in purple t Higgins is by far their most talented wide receiver and he hasn't got enough targets so far in this game from the 45 once some Bari Rogers then if he's short of the marker bring up a second and shoot Duke will get the football to start the second half [Music] on the ground etienne end up to Tyler CTM he had the first about Trayvon McSwain made the stops the clock will continue to right after they spot the football eat the end carry just 11 times at Boston College a week ago for 78 yards they decided to win that game through the air last week [Music] it's lower in the shoulder knocked out of the 31 patient approach right three straight quick outs one two t Higgins and Tudor Rogers and that's just discipline and that's good play calling on the offensive side by Tony Elliott just taking what the defense gives you you don't have to be in a hurry if they're gonna give you the quick out take it can't believe how quiet this crowd is they got a 85,000 people building they were rocking before the opening kickoff tonight [Music] they did not expect to be in a walk point dropped Brayden Galloway could not hang on to it pass it to a young was there to make sure picture-perfect play from Lummi young he sees the tight end goes up to make the catch hit him right in the chest don't go high don't go low put your hat on the football and dislodge it that's gonna be on a training reel for Duke in the next season I put on a training reel for the entry delay - that's the right way to make that play that was Anderson on Anderson by the way both from Anderson South Carolina just at work taking out some people diving forward for the gain of 12 and a missed tackle from Ben Humphries the linebacker number 34 is going to make that play right there you got to get him on the ground and as a linebacker on a safety you've got to make that play but Ross 64 215 pounds not your normal flight and see under 90 ticks left and a half then still all three timeouts remaining for both teams [Applause] [Music] [Applause] there's Hugo off the extra point [Music] [Applause] things will calm down a little bit now 14:6 but we talked with Jeff Scott the offensive coordinator yesterday and they mentioned this young man Justin Ross true freshman that he might be one of the next great ones that come through they've had some unbelievable ones Sammy Watkins Mike Williams and others but the combination that they have with T Higgins and Justin Ross as he begins to get hot towards the end of this season as a dynamic so the guy is wearing the t-shirts wide receiver uwr are you in pregame warmups and things against or the settle down a B interesting out Duke now responds I've been playing a heck of a football game yeah certainly they could not have played much better outside of that last Drive for a minute and 16 left get some on the board before that this would be a state as Clemson makes one 14:16 minute 16s ago clemson has an eight possessions six punts and the two touchdowns dr jackson first return he's able to get it out to the 22 here's that man all right see if coming up with mercedes-benz halftime report UCF has a chance to final right now controlling the Bearcats that game is over on ABC also an absolute stunner in Stillwater as West Virginia the Mountaineers go down there though Houston had an epic victory join me Jesse Palmer and joy Gallup by the way I would state Michigan next I know Brian Grace is locked in back to you guys yeah and then tell Joey we're coming for him you text messages by pitch change this week [Applause] and nearly intercepted Isiah Simmons running with Jonathan Lloyd Steve dudu clear to make the adjustment that's the third time that this has been the answer against an all-out pressure and the third time that there's been a Miss connect a disconnect between Jones and the receiver they need to run shorter routes when there's all our pressure rather than throwing the ball down the field Jones but throught the far side vines Deon Jackson the running back as 14 catches on the season converted wide receivers to running back they feel like anytime they get this matchup but you see on Tanner Muse the safety on Jones that is a clear mismatch to do ball start offer Christian Harris the 50 years cedar senior [Applause] took is the least penalized team in the ACC so tonight shot down the sideline trying to get Jackson on the wheel route their Shack Smith was quietly at a very nice first half Shack Smith has that is fourth down punched him was very fortunate there was a mix-up between Tanner Muse and Shaq Smith Shaq's Mick didn't know if he was going out there to cover him he'd react slate and Deon Jackson not able to bring that football down but a little bit of miscommunication secondary so Duke has slowed down that's three consecutive three and outs now it four marks to the punch defense Weaver figured things out with Austin Parker more in Rodgers fair catch and a flag at the 35 with 50 seconds left in the first half [Applause] during the cake holding return team number 34 ten-yard penalty from the end of the kick for staff while you ponder that tomorrow starts your day off with NFL countdown Patrick mahomes Jared Goff talk about Monday night's big matchups cheeps the Rams don't miss that game right here on Monday night Chiefs grams that should be sucked up coverage kicks off 8:15 Eastern on ESPN I look like a soup full preview to their fatherland we will go today for the Sam Potter if it is no I see maybe too much credit I got it anyway I think that's the point no that is luminal e you do not get God without trying see that's how that works when squirrel finds him that every now broken clock is Right twice a day this 47 seconds left on his clock turn beyond Thompson on the receiving at it you see how Clemson plays this still at all three timeouts why not yeah at least the field goal yeah push the ball now on the sudden your quarterback has settled in he was perfect on that last Drive continue to take what the defense gives gay 214 there and all this while Hunter Renfro is attended to in the Clemson locker room sees a blitz there now he's changing the protection knowing that there's going to be pressure off the edge pressure is picked up nicely by ETA [Applause] and it's Kendrick on the receiving end excellent stop by Jordan Hayes it's a short game at a time out something that we've been seeing now a little bit more from Trevor Lawrence he's managing the protection knowing that he's got problems over here with pressure watch the line slide that way and then Etienne come and take the late hit off the quarterback that is what the craft of playing quarterback is all about is protecting yourself knowing how you're protected and then Trevor Lawrence getting better and better each week this season Taco Bell is celebrating student sections and passionate fans like the Clemson Tigers by awarding the best student section of the year with espn.com / Taco Bell the bomb bet if your team made this week's rankings to see how your school can compete Laurens got a lot of loft for one particular play last week when he was able to slide the protection and able to complete two Renfrow for 35 yards added the coach is looming and eying like most true freshmen are not making that play and it's a lot of that what the regular fan watching doesn't see they don't know that he does these kinds of things and that that play doesn't happen unless he makes the right call the right protection seems to have everything else and overshot his intended target t Higgins third down and six this is why I love this Skycam angle take a look at this Steve you're gonna play quarterback sit back here in the pocket you see your receiver on the left side now you got to lead him lead him into the middle of field just a little bit high right now that's playing quarterback is being on the same page and that's why you rep so much with your receivers who know exactly how they're gonna come out of a break flat or high based off of a defensive look and that's just reps this kid has all the-- all the ability in the world I think he just needs more more time with these receives tough night so far and third down again his receivers and backs have not made plays for quite a few drops under pressure large hit as he throws and he got it away Leonard Johnson was coming on the Blitz and it's fourth down he didn't see this one he's seen a bunch of them but here he comes Johnson right off the edge late in each end only take one of them and it looked like he felt him he started to slide away from it but a big stop for Duke before the half seventh punt upcoming by Clemson spires punted six times last week the entire game this will be a seventh pot as we approach halftime you know Boston College blitz Trevor Lawrence a ton last week and they confused him at times and young Matt Geary taking a similar approach here with Duke when I supposed to have defensive spires looking for the bounce and he gets it TJ ramming will run away that's our 13th punt of the game as we approach halftime and we're back into 30 seconds brian has pointed to his knees [Laughter] he's going to take a deep shot taking me put it on the grounds if Deon Jackson can pop water you can't take a knee with a shotgun because all the offense alignment get upset Dubois experiment you lose four yards right right but nobody can take a snap any more so they gotta hand it off point to do a handoff that's it zeros on the clock been a bit of a punt fest again 13 pumps in this half she was trailing six to nothing [Applause] she said that was been coaching more than you have seen on the sidelines in that first half she maybe all season long down on the field his top coach 14 punts in the first half how do you get things going off into well we got a convert on third down I mean we've been atrocious on third down we came out missed the first two third and twos had a couple plays there just to miss them but we just got to settle in I mean give them some credit man they're playing really well we were fortunate to hit a couple big plays but they just got out play this right there but we got new better job well player down that's the main thing thanks good thoughts from Dabo Sweeney at the half halftime Clemson leads by eight of course they do see for the second half first take a look at Aetna and Joey and Jesse it is the mercedes-benz halftime really great ceremony a half-time honoring all the fallen vets yeah great tradition at Clemson and the military really well done by all the folks here in that battle we will show you we'll show you some of highlights of that a lot of places to a Military Appreciation Night they really do it well here at Clemson Deon Jackson from the goal line [Applause] and he'll get out just shy of the 20 yard line he believed of Brian Griese Todd McShea will join us from the field shortly so a most unclamp sand-like performance in that first half nine possessions seven pumps they're fortunate to win this football game to us because of their defense right their defenses has given up yards but they haven't given up a touchdown just two field goals that's the way it's been for a lot of the years that these guys Dexter Lawrence Christian Wilkins have been here and certainly this offense needs to get something going for Clemson this senior class trying to win their 51st game as a tiger just too tall for Chris Taylor who goes 6 1 1 85 and still as we open up 3rd quarter action in a one score game and look for marks to Duke you know they come in to bit of a gaudy record 7 to 3 that's more than just respectable dr jackson get back to the line of scrimmage break up a second down but seemed like they wanted to come out and go faster right away and looks like initially there they got clumps and kind of off-guard cuz um she's always looking over the sidelines right the Brett Venables they're the coordinator who's animated he's got to get that coach and sometimes you can catch them off guard but it didn't work he's animated he's getting back down we could have cut to any time to got that reaction Jones will take a shot again looking for Chris Taylor Trayvon Mullin had the coverage continue from Fort Lauderdale you know if you're Duke you're kind of caught in between a rock and a hard place here you want to take some shots down the field because you're not gonna have a 12/14 play drive against bunch of defense but when you try to throw those shots down the field you need some time for Daniel Jones and they just don't have that consistently enough to be accurate down the field startled we're out their punter as well austin Parker this would be punt 14 of the night to come out of locker room after halftime Maury Rogers to make a few people miss he'll be stopped and Clemson will start at the 39 yard line as Rogers gets up slowly I mention the senior class for Clemson hard to ask for more a 50 and 4 record to come up that for a second three straight ACC Championships three straight college football playoff appearances 2016 national champions and if things go is just about everybody expects they'll be back to the playoff and potentially fighting for another national championship again and Clemson will start with their best field position of the night at their own 39 yard line [Applause] and drop down at the 41 yard line Clemson at 17 yards rushing in the first half that's their newest it's 20 yeah you know that they were in the locker room at halftime and Jeff Scott drawn up some run plays in there getting the adjustments made yet in order to win the college football national championship you got to be able to make these kinds of adjustment here's Lawrence gonna try to carry the football swung around and hit by Ben Humphries and company you showed that senior class and I can't help but you know mention again the fact that hunter Renfro just joining us early in this game went down hard hit his head on the ground looked like an apparent concussion and it doesn't look like he's going to return in this football game but his career is going to go down in the history of Clemson football and the relationship that he's had with this fan base has been special it's been different and we just hope that he has a speedy recovery he's been reminiscing with the coaches all week even joking about how you remember that wide receiver class I came in with four scholarship guys and a walk-on yep of course he was the one who walk on three the scholarship players left trivia tops the other one who remains ah to go to him on a third down we've seen it a million times yeah well and he he is not just only has it just treading the big place he's made and he's made the biggest plays and the biggest moments we know that but I think he's been an example for Dallas we need to set the culture right that the best players are going to play no matter where they recruited from these stars they have they're gonna play it he's been our example of that mara Rogers has first down yardage working on Brandon Feaster and we were talking with Matt Gary the defense coordinator he said if any player on Clemson's multi-talented roster if he could have one of those guys on offense said hunter Renfro would be the guy he's not the burner not big down the field but when you needed a big play big catch it was always Renfro he's gonna play on Sunday still you know there's another nothing [Music] [Applause] and the Tigers will increase their lead [Applause] look at the big right tackle her main anchor um he's going to come up on the line back on the second level look like me it got away with a hold right there on Kwanzaa the backup linebacker clearly had his hand out on the Jersey but Travis etn with two big runs on that drive to establish the run game early in the second half good on T Higgins the wide receivers blocking down the field as well five plays 61 yards 100 41 you get the idea out of 27 yard run Travie CTN he is so explosive well feels like Renfro has been around here forever Dan's hoagie of sophomore [Music] when I booked at Hilton calm I get to select my room from the floor plan look at the coaching staff the Clemson where petite pants is a real special bond between this University and our military this was the scene at halftime the grease alluded to they allow everyone who has been a member of the military to come onto the field it's all by the honor system they invite everybody down on the field and there you can see the support the place was silent could hear a pin drop throughout the 21 gun salute and emotions like the salutes this place in Texas A&M we have two places that right when we go on visits around college football have the closest connection with our [Applause] quick completion Davos said earlier this week he thinks only Texas A&M has more officers World War two yet than Clemson does us hey come sit was a military school until 1955 and this Davos reason for all purple they save it for a special Military Appreciation Night every year in November or against another school with a military background Dabo serious about things meaning things that's the meaning of the old purple day the game line tonight a salute to service [Music] served out of one [Applause] how's your mesh point he pulled it out of D on Jackson's belly Clemson's got so much talent that they take the mesh point they take both guys quarterback in a running back in that time daniel Jones just able to get across the 35 yard line top the Jones starting to limp a little bit uniform looks like a crime scene and not first down it's Britton brown that first down the Duke was able to get there first first down dating back to early in the second quarter that's that's the uniform of a competitor right there that's what I see his game is running he had a over 100 yards rushing a week ago in the win for the victreebel so not part of his game time daniel Jones confirmed of Daniel help and he's got the first down his third catch so David Cutcliffe said he's finally able to have real football conversations with Daniel Jones so what did that actually start he said when we got it to her on the sidelines during the Georgia Tech game and that we got Jones's side of the story he said in essence the question might toughness my man who had no one's ever done that he showed he is plenty tough tonight here's Britton Brown on a big gain on second down yeah that was a turning point in their relationship last year and that's important that coached quarterback relationship you know coach Cutcliffe has been one of the best in the history of college football coaching quarterbacks and he said after that I could really begin to talk to him and visualize the game and and coach cut always likes his quarterbacks all the way back to Payton to visualize the game not to beyond the tree sport or on the video screen but to be able to have the conversation in your head and look at certain schemes and certain checks and go through the whole game in their head and finally Daniel Jones now able to do that this first down and 10 across midfield [Applause] checks at the line of scrimmage [Applause] to suppress to try to escape that he won't be he'll be taken down right in the logo my cleveland furrow this is a check of the line of scrimmage from daniel Jones and should have thrown the ball on the outside to Lord he had a hitch route it was there and he looked that way there he is right here is just gonna run the hitch route and he's open for the throw he looks that way doesn't throw it and ends up getting sacked and that's just all the checks and every at that time there's choice in completing what a catch Dame on Fillyaw injunction able to bring it down I don't know how he fit this ball in what an amazing throw here by by Jones of his tight window anticipated the throw and gets it in there a really good catch obviously contestant that time he's a sitting duck back there now you can never be careful if you this kid has played as [Applause] protection back in the back floor with them and they handed the Briton brown and he's got first down yardage so type of curious no Mel had him at number two you had him at six what does Mel know that you don't know this is what I think of this is Brooke Piper does he likes to get a splash especially if he's on Monday Night Football so he's going to put them all the way over to to get some attention but no I'm quite honestly watch the lobby take over this week watch some with Greece there's a lot of things to like about his games he's the not a complete quarterback at this point the toughness and then the mental aptitude [Applause] here is Jones now good pocket feel some pressure subscribe backwards cannot use the free safety will drop them and there's there's not a lot of complete quarterbacks Todd I don't believe in college football this year I think that's probably reason why becoming more attractive does the NFL is starving for quarterbacks and this kid looks like he's got a little something to him but I think they need to figure out exactly what he has fifth sack of the night by this Tigers defense now let's see who jumped Jones told us they changed the cadence just for this week let's see if he caught Clemson offside defense number 67 with contact five-yard penalty second down just to just to put a wrap on this with the NFL Draft and Jones it's one thing that there's not a lot of quarterback so it becomes enticing to leave early but remember Jones has another year where he could go back and develop and I think it's more about being ready when you get to the NFL then exploiting it second at seven running away for Austin Bryan Jonathan Lloyd usually dependable fifth year senior could not hang on to it their last Jones about watching on Monday Night Football that's not a great promo for the for the game but we said he was sleeping and somebody called the next day and told him what was Mel Kiper jr. instead he won't be sleeping this Monday night yeah what was the matter last week Giants Niners was [Applause] every NFL games a good game down at 7:00 the Chiefs Rams this Monday night nobody's sleeping called batted away that's five or six balls knocked out of the line of scrimmage I think Clemson knew coming into this game they listen they're not going to be able to blog on guys so they're gonna throw the and if I go to throw the ball quick everybody get their hands up we've seen Dexter Lawrence price we've seen world games a couple of times tre Lamar and gets another tip pass to force to Field oil town [Applause] some confusion out there on the Duke sideline the only 10 guys on the field it looked like rock chambers the right guard not on the field it's called we're up from 43 no-good missed it to the right [Applause] we're only missed a couple of field goals last week and a 14-play drive B Chevy is earned JD power dependability awards for cars trucks and suv's you can check out our alternate angle Xfinity Skycam cover to the game streaming live on the ESPN app and on that's one the way to watch the game gives you the quarterbacks viewpoint you know you can see the defense as he sees it Trevor Lawrence he's looking at Justin Ross to bail him out and make the grab rushing yards in the first half versus to them getting it going on the last Drive but looks like Trevor Lawrence a little bit off tonight as accuracy which has been good throughout the course of the season especially on the deep throws but the intermediate and the short stuff tonight it's been a little bit off a little bit of his mechanics later on this game to see how how he throws the ball and maybe how daniel Jones throws the pentose and things i've noticed with their delivery and release that they probably need to work on as they get older for Trevor in college and as Daniel jones begins to get ready for the draft I think they need to shorten that delivery they've got a really long wind-up right now and they're six six and six five respectively so it's natural that they'll have to work on shortening that up and he has so much talent around him it's TJ chase in motion top of your screen one clap Lawrence has a football he's Kendrick who dropped the shirt touchdown pass earlier they able to hang out of that wall it's a gain of 32 a nice job by Kendrick coming back he had that big drop this time it's better coverage actually this balls thrown perfectly on the outside I really like the touch with which Trevor Lawrence throws the ball down the field and Kendrick not a big receivers down time physical at the top really well done working on Brandon theme stir maybe Lawrence heard you're talking about his mechanics still needs a fix and Diggs quick screen out the TJ chase his first touch of the football second down and short of cover he was not talking about look at him in free game and look at this mechanic the ball caught it comes down and then loops around and goes out right so that's that's natural for a big tall young strapping young man but the ball the NFL it's about how fast does it get out at Camp go below that line okay it needs to stay high which will allow him to get the ball out faster he's not going to have an issue with that playing to Clemson in college but he won't have an issue with that point in the NFL well he's got a few years to work on it his limb Jay Dixon his first carry and that will go for a loss Brandon Feaster came up to make the tackle when Ben Humphries the the Mike linebacker the senior captain for Duke and really the only glue keeping this defense together comes up that won't be the final score there that kid Zander Gagnon has checked in place of the injured Ben Humphries [Applause] this is just a flash of the talent the track last year as the truth you just saw y'all with vision and patience a little bit more strength and still has that explosiveness on the second level the self-proclaimed mama's boy who face times with his mom prior to every game imagine the next time they chat you a whole lot of smiling going on Travis etn his second touchdown of the quarter that goes for 29 perfect splits the appliance now more of a score that you would have expected coming in second right crunching on top of you it's just wearing down they've had so many injuries and then on that plate before that touchdown to lose Ben Humphries who is really the heart and soul of his defense like that left knee comes up gimpy then put any pressure on that knee coming off the field and you just your heart breaks for guys like this that coach cut them talking with him last night the way that he describes this young man he says he's smiling caring incredible person that's about so much more than just football the field and you see the laundry list of injuries and when you take the heart out of that defense then then you get Travis etn right up the middle Humphries has to see on his uniform recognizing him as a captain and the leader not the best player on the defense but the emotional leader of that unit [Applause] Deon Jackson Higgins spark here you can't touch back take a look at our PlayStation player index and Christian Wilkins has had just about the game you would expect see you Springfield Mass last week got to go home beat up on Boston College have a good time that's Christian to the white by the way Dexter in the pink thanks a extreme that without that's a Cleveland furrow in the green and welcome to say this one more time field furrow we watched his last name just telling people this week apparently naturally anyway like his last name pronounced for that poor costume on Dexter what you study I'm glad he went with the pink though you know it's Isaiah Simmons over there on the side I look like he might be cramping up grabbing the toes till they finally get the respect they deserve [Music] you got you see up in the top for bridge No this serious stuff to bent-up reason you can see the frustrations how upset he is he is a a seer from Newport Beach California and being carted off too late as to the injury they do have a bowl game in their future if any luck he'll be able to get back to it yeah you know Steve I get to this time of year and I watched all these teams and a lot of these seniors graduate and our players a lot of these guys are playing their last snaps I know if they're of their lives and it's it's emotional and you know we don't know what happened survey next week but these try least snaps and games are precious foodies [Applause] it's partly a feel for me in that situation it is you know there's 1% of 1% they're going to play in the lid you can play on Sundays and look teams like Clemson they're gifted by my 10 guys maybe you know Alabama maybe 10 guys out of a class but for the for everybody else in college football to hand a small handful of blades this is a rough game it's a tough game just tonight we've seen two guys yet underrated coming out of high school and a hunter Renfro both of them were the heart and soul of their teams they got hurt tonight serious but these these opportunities of pressures and give you everything we heard only heard that is that he will not return and that's devil joined to be dropped half take your pick thorough with juice that time it's Christian Wilkins unfortunately there's no not a whole lot of answers for dude because you gotta throw the ball to get back in this game and your offensive line is away over Maxwell Baldy the center I know he was a transfer from Ohio State but he is no match for number 42 in purple or number 90 either one is going to get to the quarterback and the punch from Boston Parker boy Rogers excellent putt Rodgers drifting back to the 15 and he'll be stopped at the 21 yard lines a 53-yard punt talking about the draft and get Todd has Dexter 6 Wilkins 8 Dexter I think you see this year that he's just a little bit quicker he wasn't healthy basically playing on one foot last year and the sack production has not been there this year but he's been very consistent with pressure that's so important in the NFL being able to get after the quarterback and help in that regard so he has the greatest up side Wilkins probably has the least up side but his most complete player now fall is clearly the best Tavian Feaster tableau was surprised last year that everybody came back a couple guys last year so is everyone expecting your past rupture Todd have you ever seen a defensive line canoe that's been this could this highly ready to go into the draft you know NC State had a group a few years ago more talk attention three top 15 graphics and it's so rare here's Feaster spinning away and speaking about that defense we asked Brent Venables about it he's the next year it's demoralizing think about early retirement I mean you know Venables is one of the great defect when we needed one of the most highly compensated defensive coordinators in the country and so this recruiting crap class would be very important at that position no question he's going to lose not just the starters but a bunch of the reserves trouble try to get the - ah God several artists had to put the turn and this is the x-factor six-six can throw it down the field but he also brings this element play breaks down I'll make something happen now he can tell him to the outside and his teammates are gonna get in the whole time right here not sure why he's ran out of balance 19 yard game brother should have been 25 he'll hear about it just across midfield now running some more Mari Rogers they've taken turns dropping Lawrence passes tonight I tell you what remember last year the beginning of the year Deon Cain and others they had a really hard job catching the football a lot of drops and tonight it's reared its ugly head again you've seen time to time big plays down the field with Overton and now Rogers dropping the football that won't be addressed in the meeting room tomorrow no question Kendrick dropped the touchdown pass Feaster out a little shovel [Music] back to the lot of scrimmage final 22nd to the third quarter and taking that this was the one you mentioned it with Kendrick which would have been a clear touchdown etn his head his turn and now Rogers Galloway had that big throw it's possible for some people to try to check in to the wrong one we mean inch on occasion happy to be Todd this time a little bit us some other time getting a good track record hey they got a lot of hotels not a great place to stay choice lowers the shoulder and the boom for a first down picked I love you young coming up watch this hit real speed [Applause] statement run by toys five nine to twenty and a whole ball I hate coming at you that's a business decision by the defense's first rush of the night [Music] on the ground of choice kid who wants a piece of this town the Portland the Duke defense very happy stumbled out all by himself I think you're going to see this from Clemson throughout the rest of this game this offensive line and a running game primarily we want to run this clock out get out of this game with a victory stay as healthy as possible and if davos sweeney credit the first half was ugly probably went in at halftime had a stir in a conversation they came out ready to play in the second half second down at two large will keep it once you contact their travels by Leonard Johnson you've seen Trevor Lawrence learning on the job with respect to his health and running the football right go back to that Syracuse game he didn't get out of bounds he got hurt good they want to finish that game and it was up to chase Price who played really well in in relief and saved the season if you will for Clemson against Syracuse but Trevor Lawrence has had to learn how to manage situations get down when it's time to get down get yards when they're there but protect your health third out of three option two choice he's going to come up short of the marker Marquis waters wrapped him up flying tackle it's fourth down [Applause] really nice play from waters there and no hesitation from that mostly they're going to bring in Garrett Williams a tight end for a to tight end set here and the way that choice has been run the ball physically I agree with this Garrett Williams honored today an academic senior he'll either be back he'll be in the Marines come next season walked out of water choice that Syracuse game might look as the turning point of the season go around this team so you want to take a look at gage Cervenka right here that's the reason why he's starting now at that right guard position just gets low center of gravity and comes off and drives the defender off the ball that's why he's playing more on this offensive line Kendrick choice shovel into Kendrick for a few that's September 29th think about what was going on around these bars right Kelly Brian is demoted Trevor Lawrence Syracuse takes a big shot in the second quarter right there the redshirt freshmen chase price comes in the lead punching back from a ten-point fourth quarter deficit to win 27 to 23 dabbles said 95% of teams lose that football game this team warmed that game right in every every championship season has a turning point and that's certainly if if clemson is able to continue on like we think they will and get to that college football playoff they'll look back and chase Bryce has played an integral role in that and that was Nene said to us yesterday they came into the season with two quarterbacks that they really felt good about obviously and Kelly Bryant and Trevor Lawrence they found out the chase price is a football player yeah dabble said he's going to be the fifth year senior everybody said where you've been hiding this guy all this time the chase Bryce has his turn [Applause] Leonard Johnson the coverage there is a flag holding defense number 33 10-yard penalty automatic first down Linda Johnson flag to the hole can kind of tell how hard you played tonight if you do those white uniforms a whole lot of grass stains they they they have they can hold their head up high they have played with effort tonight they have not backed down they have not has been as talented and we knew that but they have not shied away from the physicality of this game on either offense or defense and again if you're just joining us they are playing without their four best defensive players tonight and then their emotional leader Ben Humphries goals I and that Brandon Hill was ejected it's TJ chase and crushed it we'll check out another store [Applause] [Music] that's three consecutive touchdowns by Clemson for their last five possessions they figured things out right and they only had a touchdown in their first seven possession so next point is fool I think you saw adversity in the first half the Trevor Lawrence now in the second half a great drill kid I mean pictures probably back on the feel with his teammates here at the end it's the worst feeling to be in that locker room right sitting on a training table and that all your guys are out there still battle he just want to come back out [Music] [Applause] they'll go to a ballgame for the sixth time in seven years hopefully he'll be healthy enough to make that Steve I want to show you something about Christian Wilkins everybody talks about what a great player he's a great player but I want you to see these are all special teams plays okay this is punt rush he's rushing the putter now he's in Punk'd protector so he's got a block for his putter puts his face in there then he's on the edge and field goal I mean this guy does everything and after every play he plays on defense then he's playing on all these special teams he's the first guy into the end zone to celebrate when the offense scores there is no limit to this kid's energy and his contribution to the team so why don't they baby him he's so important to the defense why throw him out the wound up they're not worried about him wearing him out all these extra snaps because he's the one going to Dabo in saying hey I want to do this put me on that put me on the show yardage of goal line like the fridge give me huh he wants to play as many snapper they possibly can he's still doing the Power Rangers - they're having a good time of course he has been first ever as Davo set it to time curtain calls enough to be honored last season toward shore Phoebe returning again they honor the seniors those academic seniors not based on 50 on Jackson then he got honored again tonight look at don't feel they're gonna honor him at the next level - how you compete and the motor that you have so important so many positions especially feet [Music] indexer Lawrence he's the least talented of the group but it's all those little things that he does and the energy that he brings that makes him so attractive NFL team and so durable guys his 41st career game starting tonight that is the most ever by a crunching defensive tackle as Deon Jackson has meant right in the middle christian registrate his turn welcome to the score sheet he gets attacked graduates dude i still remember when christian brilliant wilkins burst onto the scene right it was at that fake punt right in the bowl game several years back and everybody's like no way that was a defensive tackle that just caught that ball on a fake pot but we have been really fortunate you know the college football to have a person like christian wilkins such a great player a great personality we're gonna miss him in college football is no question he's so entertaining to watch shot an off the good Jake Bobo before Jesus Denzel Johnson makes the stop the Clemson you see number 67 there outlet the football game he's been overshadowed by Dexter Lawrence of my Tricia Wilkins but I think Albert Huggins is an NFL defensive lineman that's how good this guy is and nobody talks about him but let's let's watch him here in the fourth quarter see how he dominates on a third down at 11 sheets running the football Deon Jackson for a yard break up for everybody that's that's the point you were making that in this front seventh reflection they've got [Music] seniors that will not be coming back next year so it's gonna be a complete rebuild offensively they've got talent yes but they won't have experience on that front seven and so the work will be cut out for this coaching staff on the defensive side next year hence punt of the night upcoming for Austin Parker with Amar'e Rogers back team [Music] Rogers at the 26 a fair catch 820 to go here in the fourth it's all Clemson channels in a football game they were trailing six nothing to Duke and then at the end things are gonna work out just fine for the number two team in the land they're number two quarterback Chayse Bryce is indicating for Clemson on the ground a TV and Easter take a look at today's unexpected outcome brought to you by Exxon Mobil they saw a defensive lineman dance ended up on the sidelines over the years tableaus the showing some of the moves that's easy when you're winning all the time right right but they'll expect the part by the pin this is David Cutcliffe but some staff members well James Brown yeah I was last week I feel good yeah slow this down this is after beating North Carolina for the third consecutive year coach cut get loose a little bit last night last week I don't think that was I was I feel good oh you should dananana David Cutcliffe when he got back to his hotel room last night he and his wife waiting for them was a nice gift basket from the sweetie family dabble and his wife very close with coach Cutler and his wife Chris Lowe from espn.com who's covering the game here tonight we had that little gem of a nugget so much respect for the two that both really started at Alabama yeah now both have Alabama roots and going back to Gene Stallings who was a mentor to both of these these men and they've been together here in the ACC for the past ten years each of them and developed a really nice relationship it's gone back a long ways over 20 years and these are two of the best that we have in college football two of the best coaches through the best men and leaders of men that we have and I'm really happy to know that they they kind of lean on each other from time to time Carsten King was about to get an opportunity to punt it away redshirt junior from Nashville false start offense number 43 five-yard penalty fourth down they wore out will spires he punted seven times in the first half try Carson Kings leg on facade I hear you but I also think doubles he wants to see what this young kid has because he has not been happiness buyers and so why not take an opportunity here in the fourth quarter to see what the young kids can imagine that kind of luxury hey what's wrong with the team forgot that king last one a TJ ramming and Megan ugly it's a 4095 punch she 97 in the next month you'll know why they will see you next week when archrival South Carolina comes to town a demo like that fun it's a nice life when punching there will be problems at the port well the NBA action as well Lakers FL tonight to the magic and inside look at the Warriors offense without Steph Curry quick Harris has checked in as quarterback for Duke that's the right move daniel Jones played his heart out tonight he was getting hit on nearly every down and limping around not able to move and protect himself you still got a big game next week gets wake in a bowl game protector quarterback it will split defenders as the Arnage man he came right up the back of that receiver is Trayvon Lee no one's affiliate John Hillyer Johnson [Applause] good to see him able to run off the field and a lot of injuries tonight's been a hard hitting affair so Harrison this came earlier came in to get a first down run now he's back at quarterback six minutes to go in the fourth the tale Durant gets the carry the freshman mentioned the Steph Curry now the Warriors are dealing without him that is matt garetty defensive coordinator should say congratulations [Music] - Alexandra Thompson guard for the Davidson women's basketball team at the same time Steph was running the show for the men's basketball team how about that that's cool her friends friends yes so they were invited to a steps wedding stuff to be invited to dinner when it gets Steph Curry can bring where was the way the check is that on the card but I just read the card no it's not a car okay do you know no I don't staff is day today with the patellar bruise by the way injured that's pretty cool two days ago of course that's where your mind went leaving what the car to the gift curry to your wedding right [Music] my best man stuff girl I'm glad I'm already married Isaac right view of my wedding I give good wedding the candlesticks are nice and these rocks right at midfield tell Quentin Harris to go down feet first please that's Xavier Kelly take a look at this backup defense for the Clemson Tigers those guys don't look like backups today you look at it guys light Albert Huggins number three Xavier Thomas Thomas is the next one really excited about register Oh their second team would start on half the programs in the country austan Parker is back to punt he's punted 46 times this season prior to tonight and this would be putt number 10 for Parker that about set of bounds at about the six will step away four and a half to go it's all Clemson I'm a held on beat the Citadel being 1010 at half time you got your shake up at the top ten anyway as West Virginia goes down and still work yeah I don't know if that was that much of better rise to be honest we took that game last week to bet on the game [Applause] to run and Oklahoma State they've got town they could throw with any team in the big 12 on any given Saturday they've been the most inconsistent of all the teams in the country they've won probably two or three you didn't expect in the win they lost that same two or three games and games you think they should have won prior to serve better fate life in the crazy big 12 approach four minutes to play Jason turn to the edge here's that nin all right leaves thank you enough day what's happening in Norman Kansas and Oklahoma you know the Oakland Athletics gave calimary 4.6 billion dollars he's head coach think O'Reilly making four point eight million dollars can we say Murray on the base pass like this when I said we're going first to third Kansas trying to go closer the first time since 97 but it's all Sooners at Double Dhamaal 4824 Steve yeah he's gonna take a lot of extra bases for sure at man thank you on 1st down and 10 Linden Jade Dickson Clemson just keeps rolling out new skill position players it's amazing what's the credit to the culture that dad was built yesterday the culture of when you make a commitment to a player he's not a big fan of these early kind of offers to freshmen and sophomores he was the wait to see how these young players developed in high school evil they can offer to them the exception you can make in the selection as a freshman or sophomore but only him only he can make you often out of assistant coach and he's only done in a couple of times yeah couple of Venables have benefited from them couple of Venables about also deshaun Watson was young and Trevor Lawrence was one so but I think it's the right approach and he's patient about it he's intentional he doesn't have these offers that are uncommital if you will if he makes an offering and chase Bryce [Applause] and that's the way things are going for Clemson it's a gain of 13 in the first half Duke would have picked that up and run it back for a score in the second half it's but all Clemson they're gonna slow it down here and note the rest of this clock grease they just brought in dairy and wrencher now a running back six different running backs they've used here tonight thoughtful wine doesn't two minutes because no early commitments she Lane Kiffin offered an eleven-year-old minor kid again Matt Leinart son nearly dead chilly there's the other end of the spectrum too right and you do the same thing with David stills yes Lucy was three he was 13 he was modules hidden worst much older Napa said I refused to meet with a ninth grader ninth grader sounds much younger than a professional it was interesting you know when Trevor Lawrence came Brandon's tree or the the quarterback go issue said listen coach I need you to visit with this kid his family and they were having a camp while they were on campus simple but Trevor Lawrence wasn't even in the camp he was just visiting and Streeters said I need you to meet with him the kids in ninth grade and down and said I'm not meeting but then Street are very smart says well he's already been in make savings office he's been in Les Miles office and snow dabble relents it's okay well I'll give them five and I think the Trevor Lords appreciated the honesty from Davos Sweeney in that meeting where he told them listen I need to see you develop I need to see you grow I want to see a play and I want to know what you're all about as a person what's your the seven Bend the seventh running back this is ryan mclane greece what do you watch it what do you got a ryan mclane he must be a senior and it's senior debt yes senior from Plymouth it's a rush say you played football at Clemson right absolutely here's what happens these guys come to these schools that walk on and they service the these teams for four years Scott Jean Scout teen and so absolutely get him in the game is their last opportunity dinner Davos got a lot of this figured out Darrien wrencher the volcanic nets senior class will win their 51st game that is

of second half Tigers have made their point down at Tom McShea with that all goes on offense that things figured on the second half those are different we got the run game going and we're better we'll
