Wake Forest vs. Clemson Full Game | 2019 ACC Football

in college football that's an atmosphere like this that's pretty easy to get a football team juiced up and ready to go Tigers won the toss deferred their option to the third quarter so they will kick it off and Wake Forest will start with the football [Applause] returnable from the seven christine deal smith fight his way close to the 25-yard line so the Clemson defense which last season was the best in college football and lost seven players to the NFL including their entire defense of luck makes no difference you replace those seven with seven new players and Davos Sweeney's got a group that's putting up fewer points per game this year than they did last year how much of that is a reflection of the ACC and their schedule up there one of two teams to not allow 300 total yards of offense in any game this season those two teams along with the college football playoff rankings lags saw the opening snip of the game so Allison its first and 15 now for a Wake Forest offense that's without suited their most important weapons it's going to be a tough test today for all of the conference mistakes there at and Scotty Washington both out with injuries and head coach Dave losses changes the formula to win this game because they no longer have those guys [Applause] quarterback run for Jamie Newman here and he gets bottled up after a gain of two and a half to three yards so Dan how much more pressure was on the redshirt junior quarterback Jamie Newman without Washington extra a ton right elevate everyone around you without your two premier receivers and so he's got to trust his eyes he's got to trust his speed a little bit more and he also has to trust his play collar to make sure that he's not asking him to do everything by himself he got back up here fast I mean brass forty guy fully mr. Sogetsu I would say at the compound right at the combine that must have been fun down there it was that was one of the coolest moments in my life outside of my wife and I getting married and having kids it's up there Dave Carney nowhere to go he lost a couple of yards back to the 20-yard line again Xavier Thomas comes through to make the stop and now it's third down and 14 for esteem again without Scotty Washington without Saints arrived they Trump Clemson both in points in total yards per game in the ACC but that's the only team they trail normally this is a diamond Deacon offense that can put up some numbers let's the 11th best pass offense in the country when you have Scotty Washington and sage threat because hey you we could just throw it out there to him right and go jump ball you go win it and so now they've got to overcome having that ability or that inability to do it today and they're gonna go conservative third out of law out there just to try and get field position on their son I spy my heart rate still is going from being that bomb in my the goose box the hair is still up on the back of the neck the heart rate still has it really incredible experience it's hard to look at that scene now and envision where there's room for a football team are you but as the kids down there I said hey anything in your life up to this point even come close they said not conversation to his own 20-yard line nekkid a punt from a Chia and Rogers gets less Rodgers for the first ransom and over and find that gets brought down inside the 30-yard line that was the punter Dom Maggio that did what he could to save a possible touchdown a 52-yard return after a 59-yard but how about the blocking out kick your coverage in a way that balls kicked so far Rodgers fields it couple blocks catch a seam run through somebody but outstanding start for Clemson get off the field on third down huge part return and now your offense is completely in the go zone the number one scoring offense in the ACC number in all of college football least for the moment without of Arirang favoring that bright shoulder is Trevor Lawrence he gets hit hard it looks as if that is good or a Clemson first down mr. a Rucker made the stop and on senior day it seems only right to honor a senior offensive line syndrome late four of the five starters are four-year players and when you talk to everybody around the ACC they say the difference between Clemson today and three years ago is they got the best offensive line in the in 2016 deeper into the red zone goes Travis ETA we talk all the time about Trevor Lawrence rightfully so and Travis 80 and rightfully so in the talent at wide receiver but the reason why this is one of the most complete offenses and then football teams in America is because that offensive line is so dominant in every aspect of their game [Applause] my action slant touchdown t Higgins [Applause] this will go to art the old fake to etn that safety jumps up easy throw to T Higgins and the strong hinge so strong his hands were on the catch make the mistake of giving up the big punt return and giving that offense a short field it's just a license to get beat easy offense welcome back to Clemson where the Tigers have taken the early 7-nothing lead touchdown pass through Trevor Lawrence Tootie Higgins and while we were away the quarterback for the Tigers went into the injury 10 as he walked off the field gingerly to say the least Dabo Swinney went in to check on him we believe that hit on the first snap of the game [Music] feeling not right Siddalee has a pretty good layout by Trey Rucker that's safety from Wake Forest hopefully it's just precaution right hopefully because of the hit you take them in there make sure you could have a little bit of a one-on-one conversation are you good to play [Applause] vt Potter for a touchback 25 yard line all right so for Jamie Newman now he's down by a touchdown again without Scottie Washington without Saints around what have to be his keys today to get Wake Forest's in the game and keep them in the game lift everybody else don't use the fact that those two guys are not playing affects your performance but bring everybody else along really what safety for Clemson is going to be the guy that dives down to help on the run Clemson is going to come after you Brett Venable is with blitz no matter what the situation the best way to hurt it is take off with your feet and run against it and take advantage of some holes he's going to take a shot down the sideline 10news he trapped Jamie Newman into a pic right along the sideline and Clemson has the football again in plus territory and Trevor Lars is out of the 10 he's ready to go back on the field really good disciplined by Tanner Muse just reading the quarterback Jamie Newman's eyes he had way gel Jones earlier put it on him late and then Tanner mused a big six to safety do it all for Clemson's defense easy interception but that comes because we're supposed to do fourth interception this season for the Thorpe Award semi-finalists to enter News and it sets up Clemson and plus territory and that gets the quarterback on the phone as Trevor Lawrence back to work skip farming his way through the secondary he's got a first down events on down to the 22 yard line picks up 19th but then you don't see it often in college football the center poles the tight end wrapped right behind him JC tuck and then count up many times today that Travis Eaton runs through that first initial contact very rarely do Zika don't get brought to the ground on that initial [Applause] there is again tacklers for a gain of five Travie CTN came into today with 1214 yards rushing on the season and he has now gone over hundred of those yards this year after first country that's a good season if you rush for 800 yards it's a pretty good year he's got 800 after strong just contact balance strong through armed actors best Dale back in the country Wake Forest hurt us look at feet the end though avoid the tackle for loss and he actually picked up about two and a half yards Tyler Williams Adam back near the 20-yard line you couldn't bring him down that's full body strength that's just not we talked about tailbacks all the time when we talk about lower body strength let's pull body strength that's upper body strength get off of me benchpress rare physical talent by now down two at the goal line those is way in for another Tigers touchdown interviews with the pics set it up it's all ready we've got a 14 yard touchdown reception by T Higgins and a 14 yard touchdown run Travis ETN and it's 14 nothing buzzer way to turn a turnover into points that drive was all trap to CTN in the big office welcome back to Death Valley publisher Orlovsky sometimes those headphones help as it gets loud in this building again Dan Orlovsky is on the hill for the senior day run on the Tigers coming down the hill to the rocket your first trip here I'd only think got over sold it right the atmosphere that you get here at that Valley you undersold and over delivered and you sold it high this is this is special man driving in the car yesterday coming to the game today I said I've got three sons they've already completed the recruiting trip [Applause] Fars forced upon down by a couple of scores weights gonna blitz oh if this guy blitz is this defensive end is going to loop in I want everyone to watch Ingram and price the tight end and tackle look at the washdown as they go through when this guy defensive end looking on your block easy run free TIA [Music] really smart by that often the Blitzers have to move know where they're going I can take them where they want to go create bigger scenes for our table Kristen Bill Smith looking for a seat up the middle [Music] [Applause] quickforce trying to get into a formation that they can find in Manship in the Clemson do the next time of matching to their personnel not giving anything away here comes the Blitz I'm getting left behind the line and broke down his go Smith Xavier Thomas with a temple for lost out there down along Sabre Thomas no hesitation blow up the mesh if you're gonna take that long time that weight force does with the hand off of the long mesh the best way to defend it go blow it up to cleanse them the gutter 14-nothing lead over Wake Forest go into the injury last touchdown he came to the bench that his right knee he's wearing this soft brace on that watching him on the side it's bothering him although he was able to stay in the game and engineer that last touchdown drive for Clemson and his Christian he is Smith who was shaken up her Wake Forest so he's on the sidelines and it's third down attack the pocket his newman he's got nowhere to go fights his way back a lot of scrimmage but it will be a three now for Wake Forest really good job by Brent Venables they decide to come after Jamie Newman but also spite of with James Kowski the middle linebacker made sure there wasn't a seam that he could escape to everyone rally to the quarterback good coverage on the back end this will be a theme throughout the day not a lot of guys that get open against the second Maggio kicked his coverage they have done it again Rogers again driven all the way back to the 16 yard line and this time a much better job by Wake Forest to change field position and make the play on special teams inside the Clemson 20 tonight matchup the top teams of the big 12 and which of those teams has the best shot at the college football playoff tonight will go a long way towards telling that story Oklahoma Baylor 7:30 Eastern on ABC the ESPN app Saturday Night Football presented by bass pro shops and Cabela's is there a way for Baylor to slow down this attack bears got an outstanding defense the biggest thing is every play you have to know where CD lamb is that offense for all of its glamour and greatness it runs through CD land know where he is and he'll take you to the football Trevor Lawrence with all day to throw a rifle strike to DeAndre Overton and that's good for 12 yards in the first down [Applause] good job by Trevor Lawrence there they put over 10 to the field by himself and this is a staple of this offense for Clemson they put receivers to the field if you're going to play them one-on-one they're often gonna throw it there goes comebacks outs until you stop it Etienne mix up five down by the sea r3r a lot of times that sleeve is just to make sure there's no kind of swelling or anything it's a bad sign yes because anytime you have to put on extra equipment is a bad sign but it's also a good sign that it's one of those neoprene sleeves hey just pull this on there's nothing too concerning tied to that et yet again another first down for Clemson they're making look very easy against the Swick defense here in the first pitch James just pushing wake back Ridley the left side with Jackson Carmen this young sophomore that they believe has become the future star upfront for them and then Etienne is doing really good job of hugging blocks they're asking secondary players corners and safeties to try and tackle him in the open field [Applause] a screen perfectly setup to chase each other and the tight end comes up about a half guard shot first down picks up nine and a half to sear tailor made the tackle for Wake Forest last year Clemson went to wake and 163 to 363 to three they had three different 100 yard rushers in that game etn was 1 and ETA already has 61 yards rushing here in the first quarter and that was game was only 7 nothing at the end of the first quarter in what Wake Forest and Dave Clausen realizes we came after clumsy too much we gave up way too many big plays because of the Blitz and they're gonna try play a little bit more patient today defensively and then you see Dave closing clapping right there because he's telling his defensive that's our game plan today that's that's ok I know they got a first down but we don't want to give them the easy touchdowns we've got to try to make them go on 12 13 14 play drives easier said than done but if you do that they consider that only today because this offense is based on explosive place [Applause] so I rolled out mrs. Overton the first opportunity to get an update from Cassidy hover thanks Bob this driving forward update is brought to you by Carmen number 18 Memphis take it out Houston over on ESPN - Clayton - takes off 68 yard touchdown run in Houston up 14 to 7 6 cassadee thanks very much when Jay Dixon still in the game next to Lauren to the backfield we'll take the handoff and go up the middle and eight and damp to your point you want to force Clemson into some long multiplay double-digit play drives if you can won't the defense has not given up the explosive plays they throw an interception on their half of the field and they give up to 52 yard punt return on special teams that gives clumps in a short field yeah put your defense in bad situations they actually thought they really had a good game plan coming in today they just have to try and execute against a dynamic offense here comes the Blitz Lawrence in trouble and he's sacked back at midfield [Applause] Smita drops it and that's a big stop for Wake Forest defense as they look for Sabaa but could left and smegma comes off there's got to be a miscommunication by that offensive line in tailback Lynn Jay Dixon who has the end man on the line of scrimmage Trevor Lawrence he's thinking that guy's black but Samantha comes unblocked nice job making sure you get the quarterback down on the ground second sack of the season for spending [Applause] Conte [Applause] [Applause] inside the Clemson 30-yard line so a special teams error for Clemson it comes an explosive play that Wake Forest needs and now they'll start with the short field offensively [Applause] what a mistake by spires and the opportunity for wafers to capitalize just goes right through his hands he watched it down right through his hands Big Bounce scrum to the ball and now Wake Forest has a huge opportunity because they're one of the better teams in the country and taking turnovers and then converting it to points huge moment for this football team don't be surprised if they take a shot two deep safeties for Clemson Nicolay at handoff he'll Smith picks up about 700 first down check that minute Walker picks up seven on first day I think it was a focused thing I watched his head go down as he caught the football into his hands just one of those things where he dropped it [Music] it's quarterback Rock well done by Jamie Newman it fights the same way all the way down to the 11-yard lunge it is an unusual point on the handoff for Wake Forest when you're watching if you haven't seen Wake Forest play so far this season then you see this really slowly developing exchange what's the advantage that while you're holding those whatever the safety is back side or front side the seventh or eighth guy that has to come into the box the stuff to them you're just holding them off and that long mesh keeps going and you watch these safety shoes they're not aggressive downfield or down towards the ball and it just holds them off and it's a big advantage for this offense last a couple years newspaper stuff that's how you blow it up that's how you send people at that mesh boy and you don't necessarily declarer you've got a certain person the mesh up we saw from Xavier Thomas at the previous Drive and a great job there by Tanner Muse you can't play hesitant defensively against this if your as close applies to automatically commit to the mesh point is it not a play-action opportunity and it's throw over the top 100 percent the stresses on the outside those corners are going to be stressed and a safety but you gotta trust her corners that they're good enough to shut down the receivers on statics Walker crying would leave his way for a couple of yards a virtuous Kowski mantis time they have gotten back to the original line of scrimmage that's third down this is because of Scotty Washington the situation because as you tell your photo Batcave they come after giving just throw them an opportunity ball which is exactly what inventables likes to do down in the red zone I expect him to come after Wake Forest and one of those receivers got a win on the outside and replacement of the tool watch Dave Clausen appeared as he runs down to the official wants to confirm this a big play for his offense they're down let's make sure we get a timeout get into the right personnel the right formation remind Jamie Newman Clemson likes to do this kind of stuff down in the red zone good use of a timeout let it pay off here for some points third down to get time I'll try to pay off moving batted back alive and I'll have to set up for a field goal attempt looks like spires and the muffed punt snap is only going to cost clemson three points watch his eyes lips to the right Tanner Muse is coming from the right side of your screen Tyler Davis outstanding job of knowing I've taken hold getting that paw up but man Jamie Newman's lucky that ball is batted down beside the intended users probably gonna pick that but he might go the other way 30-yard field goal attempts has made 27 consecutive field goals tied for the longest streak in the country usually is right down the middle that off this season that be three out of the last four at the college football playoff and championship would run through Death Valley yeah but they played a really bad conference right like this is that what everyone says that playing a really bad conference blah blah blah there's some one of the best teams in the country this this team and Ohio State are the two most complete football teams in America Skiba with a returnable kick very on Kendra [Applause] he bounces outside maintains his balance and gets across the 25-yard line out of bounds thanks Bob to a big one in the SEC number four georgia taking on number 12 Oliver Jake from with an absolute dive the Dominic Blaylock 51-yard touchdown Georgia conclusion the SE C's with a win up 7 nothing early Bob Dan that you and an earlier the season we called the South Carolina upset of Georgia and we wondered if that watt receiver group for Georgia was ever going to be good enough to create explosive plays against the big-time competition they were gonna see the rest of the season pump if it it's a Florida and now they're doing is offered as etn picks up about three guys Wake Forest defensive coordinator temple told us they've used a lot of movement up front they just don't have that size to line up and go toe to toe with this Clemson offensive line it's creating some confusion Trevor Lawrence is talking his offensive lineman quite a bit on the sidelines individually and then collectively with O line coach Robby Caldwell just making sure they are clear what their protections are in communicating them appropriately as Wake Forest moves and shifts up front [Applause] see what happens here on second at 6:00 Lawrence well-protected the pocket starts to collapse and down he goes another second this time it's rondell both groan that this is something dead we watched her Lawrence Peter's right come back to the left almost lose the football I know that's a sack but I think there's the opportunity second down get the bottom hands there's completions there that are short but you can get the ball tune and avoid ever getting taken to the ground on that set this is a good job right here by Trevor Lawrence he knows he could take the quarter we can use it as a timeout they're showing us some pressure good job managing the moment so 3017 for Clemson out of college football but a chance for another stop for the way we open up the second quarter Papa's at Dan Orlovsky Allison Williams third down at 17 with a checked after he Tian [Applause] and they do a couple plays ago you're in this situation because I'm second down you've got JC chalk up in a watched a bow here Chuck chalk is open chalk is open he's telling Trevor Lawrence on that second down play the second and seven we call a basic play no it's not in clamorous throat but you can get it out of your hands three or four yard completion at worst and the sack never comes into play this is a big growth department for him I think he's he's got to be willing to play a little boring with the football times that decision-making for Trevor Lawrence when you watch him on films still not quite where it could be because the expectations are so high but yes like where we expect it to because he's such a special player and it's the it's the things that hink it it's not a lack of intellect don't get but it's just playing quarterback rather than being such a special thrower of the football short punt takes a Clemson role down at the 25-yard line so in total it's 43 yards black trivia question the blast Wake Forest met coach to win a road game [Music] you actually pick know the answer to that normally when you have known this season it's because you've snapped out cheated looked at the card pretended like you knew but this is actually an answer I will give you credit for knowing I was impressed knock you down to build you up like totally assassinate my character of national television the Wake Forest it's something going offensively and we have 19 yards of total offense shovel pets and carnac balls forward for about three yards Clemson continues to dominate the first quarters number one scoring margin and all of FPS in the first quarter the only team to score a touchdown against Clemson this year in the first quarter North Carolina the only game that's been a game for them Numan incomplete they bury the intended receiver so now stirred down so the pressure the pressure just it's nonstop from this defense Venables will come a few first down second down third kinds of different ways and the reason he can is because the secondary and linebackers are so good with their communication and understanding how to replace one with someone leaves and you're going to see it on third down pressure's going to come they're going to play man-to-man coverage here comes the Blitz [Applause] it's 10:00 news he was the latus Blitzer he was a free runner and nowhere to go philosophy without standing disguise defense on third down look at the safety in the middle field goes to his right news comes that doesn't happen by mistake Jamie Neumann never sees it because it doesn't look like it's supposed to happen but the nonverbal communication that goes on with this defense they know where it can come from who's supposed to cover me when I go it's a specialist back seven as good as anyone in the country terrific kick Gary and Kendrick all the way back inside as much here with another pile kendrick Pratt crawls out to the 22 here in the ACC it's Clemson to see the class and then some of this league with a 13-3 lead in the ball back for outstanding by tyler williams saw the pullers by the offensive line he just beat the back block by the center Shawn Pollard just beat with penetration he got a little skinny tackle for most weight for his defense settling in keeping their football team in the conversations [Applause] timeout called by Wake Forest on defense step aside for just a moment as we came on a Friday night but Davos Sweeney is there watching his son along with three of his assistants including Brent Venables who all have sons that played for Daniel high school it was a playoff game last night and it was a nail-biter guys they had needed a goal line stand from their defense to win 27:22 and advance to the third round next week depo said he hasn't missed a game all year those coaches haven't seen too many close games this season Travis etn right up the middle he's got a first down Trevor Lawrence has not taken a snap in his college career in the fourth quarter where he's been trimmed again they've played in some really big football games over the last two years just the success that this football team has had under him is incredible to think about there's a quick header T Higgins to the 40-yard line picks up about six do you think that that date Daniel high school for Coach 20 and inventables kids do you think they're struggling for like equipment or they probably got some pretty sweet gear right I would be so paranoid to be a coach on that team right let's just make absolute wrong call you turn around and you see those two guys up in stands looking at you giving you the screen pass to ETA lockers out in front breaking tackles spins down to the 42 yard line a plate whereas Williams made the stop he Tian picks up 18 something that Trevor Clark's does really well is utilize his body in his eyes on plays that people won't pay attention to like that that run by etn he takes that snap that looks like it's gonna draw a heart to his right post of defense that way and the same on the screen catch the screen he stares one way the defense flows it just creates bigger space Britton Soph play-action he's going to take a shot for the end zone incomplete three [Applause] perfect plate for the coverage they got a post over the top on a safety plan a quarter of the field left guard job cincin just been beat right when Trevor Lawrence is about to throw that ball he gets hit good effort by this wake defensive line or stayin relentless after Trevor Lawrence Clemson will come back to them could be that same kind of RPL draw right here and there it is in Jay Dixon inside the 30 tripped up at the 20 Argo it's amazing how effective they can be when they spread your defense out and get when he's running backs in space you're exactly right modeling every receiver is basically on the sidelines look and travel Lawrence there to the right the guy the Nickelback on the right side of the field first intend to close Williams has got to go all the way out that way and then there's just this massive space in the middle I also have the fact that they used it once in this dragon came back to never let wake adjust on the sidelines there's the slant that's incomplete producing and Ghana [Applause] pretty good coverage that he sang bass he's a good corner for this wake force defense they're trying to get just rebuild him a little bit didn't help people physically and mentally he's been but if you want to call the past couple weeks so this week in practice they make sure he got plenty of rest so he was able to play capable because he's one of the better corners in the ACC was game room [Applause] drei Overton 15 down at the 14 yard line about four yards shy of the first down here Greer here's a big stop opportunity for weight cars defense is trying to keep their team in the game 34 in the red zone and they love to do two things down here on kind of longer situations they rushed three and they drop eight in coverage when they do they're going to play a cover two two safeties shields he spent tons and put that safety by blitz off the edge and Lawrence gets bottled up behind the line throws it to the sidelines to JC truck but he is brought down will shop of the first step beyond red came on a blitz couldn't get Lawrence for the sack but blue the play they send it back this way okay send it back this way watch this guy as he puts his right there Trevor Lawrence there throws right there you have blockers right there easy touchdown not seeing things exactly where you wanted to instead a 35-yard field goal opportunity and then today she came to the game and she's got to meet her look-alike Trevor Lawrence even coaches meeting gave her a big hug I think he asked her she can sling it a little bit I mean she looks like a baby she's got an arm like I think she's an athlete apparently a volleyball player but she is blown up on social media there is Bella taken in the game and Trevor even admitted to me guys you're like he's a great sense of humor about it I also now don't feel quite as much like my father as I did a couple of minutes ago because Alison didn't know that tick tock is either so I know what a tic-tac is but I had no idea to check tchotchkes and I'm not sure 100% free stuff don't topple doppelganger target demographic for tick-tock now Cindy agree the develop Martina according to Dan is the doppelganger just sad in so many ways why can't we just save lookalike really once Wake Forest down to touchdown to their own 25-yard line mr. Neil Smith couple of yards [Music] [Applause] first half two touchdowns [Music] long comforter if they could just keep this game in a field position game could get anything going it could get interesting nubbins got the Rinnegan and now it's going to be third down along again you're right reports defense because they've confused a quarterback a little bit especially throw down and they've gotten him but they've run 17 plays and 14 of them are runs it's I know that they want to slow the football game down but not Venables is making it very clear you're not running on this and so you're you're gonna have to be willing at some point to put in there a little bit expensive third down blitz again yeah third down blitz it like wait forces gotta be willing to run it on third down a little bit and try to counter or counter some of those pressures here comes the pressure it is Jamie Newman get to the sidelines and coming back to help out the quarterback this Kendall Hinton pull up those top three receivers with no Scotty Washington the note Saints Arad is still out there as you would think the go-to man today for knew a really good job of moving the pocket is becoming a very good route runner sudden at the top ah BC huge chinking for three and a half yards his peel spec sort of experience out there it's a lot of young guys trying to step up for the guys that they're without it a lot of coaching with their on the sideline in Washington [Music] tell them in some moves the routes they can do to try and get some separation out there and does well to pick up about two and a half to 3 yards save your Thomas blowing up that mesh point in the backfield that should be the tailback you know just because this long message Xavier Thomas on the right side of screen and just being like okay did you take the ball it's is a very unique style difficult on defenses but if you're willing to attack and get home good pressure coming their quarterback run papa run against it as a six man as quarterback run and it is short yard to a yard and a half short DiMaggio has been a field position changing hunter so far this game he's been a 59 yarder the 60 yarder and a 61 yarder did you kick the ball here it is like this but there's no question on punching this football with maggio the weapon that he is you could hopefully pin Clemson back in their own end zone and your defense has come to plenty continue put your defense out there in first person to operate and execute against it don't put your team in a bad situation I like this decision NGOs on the ray gun award lists for a reason that is enough very it takes a Clemson hop into the end zone countdown tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. Eastern Lawrence out of the pocket he's going to run for a first down and get bumped out of bounds so long the Sun drinking the seer career ran out Trevor Lawrence but that defensive front for weight almost had another sack they're doing an outstanding job of dropping underneath where he's looking but the right knee looks fun an outstanding job who's really getting out of the pocket and making something the receiver that he wanted wasn't there CTM progress per three hours Suliban tomorrow was the first there along with Carlos bachelor son this defense for Wake Forest's just kind of continue to hang in there right there they're actually choosing their gangland exactly the way they want to they haven't given up any big plays against this Clemson explosive offense just make them continue to the football again keep everything in front of you in the burner good job same screen Justin watts so - the first - stop the clock at this bit of almond - 353 to go in the first half once announced all three of their timeouts Wake Forest has one timeout left and it's third down to two it's not a happy head coach over on the wakes up he thought he had molting he thought the Titan Davis Allen had hold he's saying Bassam help he sang bass he has he came up to try to get away from their quick bubble now I didn't see the hold I didn't [Music] by himself another call it some people even hear that long throw to the sideline bobbins and complete blackout in the offensive backfield Justin Ross was not ready for that pass from Trevor Lawrence was thrown before Ross was anticipating it and it's a chop block called against Clemson that's a 15-yard penalty or it's fourth down at two absolutely declined this penalty watch the left guard Simpson right here okay as the left tackle Jackson Carmon engages watch the left guard set and then dive down that's why they're calling that chop block because 79 Marlin is engaged with the defensive lineman in its high-low that offensive tackles engage with the defensive guy you can't cut that deep that defensive guy because if that engagement the offensive tackle another very high and short kick that's a really good job running forward by Kendall Hinton to get that fair catch babe all the way up at the 30-yard line so it's only a 30 yard punt as we answer our Aflac trivia question there's a reason Dan Orlovsky knew the answer to this question I'm gonna let you answer it the last Wake Forest head coach the winning road game it plumps he's one of the finest men I've ever met Jim Caldwell quick story had a triplet kids my son's at a triplets coach called was my head coach we play our last game of the season four days after my sons were born I break bank all that stuff in the game he calls me about three weeks afterwards to say hello his dance coach calls say what's up and I'm thinking he wants to talk about the game when I goes just wanted to see how your wife is doing how are your kids [Applause] who he is play action fake off that slow developing mesh point in the backfield Isiah Simmons was there to bring down Jamie Newman coming up in the half it'll be the little one halftime report first-half highlights from our game previewing some very important action especially in the big 12 later on tonight that first huge test for Baylor he'll have to beat Oklahoma twice to get the job done tonight they get their first crack at it in wake up I'm excited to watch that game I'm excited to see if that Baylor defense can slow down Oklahoma's offense and then Ken Oakland is off the defense kind of stopped giving up gas place his car Dee [Applause] meillard might want to call a timeout here to see if he can save some time for his offense and count on his defense to get a third down stop that's just what he does so Clemson will call timeout and we'll get another updated cassidy's best performance it's number eight Minnesota coming off their win over Penn State taking on number 20 Iowa freshman Tyler godson throws out two stiff arms on his way to the endzone Hawkeye's up 13 nothing the code is taking on water might need headache we might need it electric engine yeah you might need a lifeboat yeah I need a different boat they have fun here by the way if you think those moves are good or maybe you think they're bad you have not spent quality time with a robot the great thing was she's dancing in the the Millennials behind her to stare at their phones about the respect or lack thereof for this Wake Forest offense shown by Dabo Swinney it's only third down and about two and a half to 3 yards to go he calls a timeout buying some extra time for Wake Forest just not believing they can convert those it's the right choice trying you trust your defense to get off the field there's a one-on-one match it down there and I would expect Wake to go to it and there's the slam and it's caught for a first down nope it's broken up and complete way bill Jones inside leverage and a chance to hold on for what would have been a big third down reception and just couldn't complete the catch Darrien Kendra left side of the screen Jones comes in on the sleep watch Kendrick with robot punch that ball out right there to sit guy that used to play wide receiver here at Clemson for us and he has come on to be one of the better man-to-man corners not just the ACC but in America you saw out there bribed the receiver down punch the ball out on contact that's where your missing Scotty Washington and saved surround as well those guys that are used to using their bigger frames don't world they can catch another spiraling kick from a gia this is going to hop down inside the five and find the endzone there is a flag all the way back at the line of scrimmage that's a 63-yard imagine the 45 yard line first week 11 has arrived in the NFL as we said in his Monday Night Football from Mexico City Patrick mahomes AFC West leading sheets take on Phillip Rivers and the Chargers 8:00 Eastern on ESPN ESPN Deportes the ESPN fr coverage begins with Monday night countdown at 6:00 antenna cheese get that defense together to me that's the biggest question about that team said this this week with the Chiefs defense because the conversation was Patrick mahomes is it good enough if you throw from 450 yards and three touchdowns is it enough same that is the same but that's how bad that defense has been over the past month I wanna see Clemson be aggressive here offensively like you're the two-minute drew you've still got timeouts in your bag you can be aggressive with your play calls here and the big thing for turbo guards especially at first is economic easy completions but the guys catching on [Applause] tradesmen across his body trying to avoid the rush of Carlos bathroom [Music] number two in the ACC and number 14 in America and Sachs with seven and a half coming into today and almost got eaten a halves on that brush against Lawrence but you see Trevor Lawrence's strength right like Pookie Basham is a torch and 75 pound guy draped on if this drive leads to some points because the target stopped on Fross went across his body rips it at the scene to Overton first down across the midfield strike date of 23 great feel in the pocket understanding of where you are in the field and then the athletic ability that visible talent to run full-speed to his left flip his hips and find over to him still your thought process here timeout plenty of time his clock get a completion out to the sideline out to the perimeter ZZ throws [Applause] Justin Ross it's a tackle it's another it's a big near sideline after a Bari in person couldn't bring a bit first and that looks like Ross is now sitting up a moment ago he was brought down by Ryan's Minda he braces himself as he goes down and that left wrist jammed underneath him looked to be he's over on the sideline shut it into hopefully nothing serious drop play 2 ETA right up the middle inside the 20 yard line before it's finally gang tackled still moving the pot the officials still have not found this play dead a rugby scrum down to the 14 yard line and now a timeout call by Clemson [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and we will step aside one already 109 yards rushing for Travis etn in the first half strength look how strong he is okay contact balance contact string cross covered the ball and watch the legs go go squat down pick myself back up and then the big fellas come a little bit of push no one stops for Clemson's often no one stops you want to know why you have one of the better running backs and running attacks in the country effort and talent Lawrence for the pump fake look into the back left corner zone 14 Higgins he's good the second first half touchdown catch for Higgins in between career at Henderson [Music] this is why he's gonna be the number one pick in the draft pump-fake whole shop to the field Safety's in perfect position on place where I wanted Higgens the armed stranger the type of throne the placement of the football how about Higgins with the caption strong hands that play is why Trevor Lawrence will be the first pick in the NFL Draft step aside at 21 and 25 in a row consecutively off to the kinda start they're used to getting up to 24 3 against Blake for establishes a panel of scheming Williams that's real is Wow he still has some reading of coverages some insuring to do some decision-making a maturation process to go through but you just watch him throw the football and there's no chance he's not the first pick in the draft two years from now by the way not this coming here it's to us to do this for another year at Clemson yeah I think he set the bar so high last year that everyone no one expected that he would not look flawless right and he's now adjusting to how a defense are adjusting to him like defenses that tape on him so they're adjusting the way they play him and now he's adjusting to how defenses are playing him and we've never allowed him to fail or learn and that's part of his growth process he's absolutely spectacular Jamie Newman finds the true freshman Donovan green pickup seven yards 37 seconds to go in the half Wake Forest still has a timeout for Trevor Lawrence he's gonna start the third quarter with the football I think you've got to be aggressive if your wake I know some people say like going to half we're not you got to put the ball in the air and see him get some some points before the half because cleansing getting the ball that's a first down catch and it's green now they're going to see these two timeout it looks like trying to run up to the line get ready to snap it's over 32 seconds to go on the head wake is down out of timeouts big fake for wake ears the ball has to go past five yards Hughes gotta be willing we can't say it enough we understand Scott in Washington and sage surround on here but you had been such a dynamic and explosive offense because of the willingness to throw the ball downfield you're not going to come here and dink and duck your D can dunk your way to a win so you've got to trust a guy like Kendall maintainer Steven Claude or even the Donovan Agreement you've got to be willing to go down the field won coverage and give guys opportunities to make 7:30 Eastern on ABC in the ESPN app it's Saturday Night Football presented by bass pro shops and Cabela's they will take over as soon as we are done here at Death Valley [Applause] Jamie knew that his number one in the ACC and number nine in America in total offense end in passing yards but again without his top two targets Scottie Washington and sage Ciroc Ciroc for the rest of the year there's a shutdown the Grail looking for green and it's intercepted under thrown AJ Terrell picks it off he's got a run back he's got blockers and he's out of bounds near field goal range the second first half interception thrown by Jamie Newman and this one might cost Wake Forest no points just great coverage by Terrell watch him on the left side used the sideline of his friend left on push Green to the sideline find the footballs you turn back to round under throw ball watch this matchup down here just watch Terrell patient at the line left hand ride the receiver all the way down the line of scrimmage turn find the football and catch the underthrown pick and then the athleticism after that interception I've played with a lot of good corners that play reminds me a lot about Darrelle Revis used to place squeeze guys to the sidelines make that throw window really small turn and find the football that's high praise you compare him to Darrelle Revis Terrell at a 44 yard pick six against Alabama in the championship game last year and here's Lawrence he's looking for the end zone again for Higgins [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] two touchdowns in 29 seconds for Clemson [Applause] this is T Higgins right here okay watch this row okay he's going to start to leave out watch what it does this is safety he weaves easy touchdown mrs. Higgins watch what he does to the safety we'vewe've and how he replaces him how is a safety in the open field supposed to stay with TV good luck it's I mean you gotta hope that your rush comes home but that we've by Higgins and then the patient's by Lawrence in the pocket [Applause] and that doesn't mean about the o-line and what exactly what can't be lost in that is an eternity to lift that round develop because the offensive line did let him get touched yeah and they've run some corner routes today those safeties these repulsive out breaking routes of T Higgins uses that leaves out that safety has to open up right across his face easy touchdown for 13 seconds to go in half that will be another touch back as punishment puts them through the back of the end zone while this season taco fit celebrate the student sections of passionate fans like these my students section of beer I'm some Tiger student section already on the national ox list espn.com / Nobel and see how your school can compete get the committee's attention by using the hashtag live mas student section contest no time outs 13 seconds and cleanses starting off the fee second half with the football and a thirty one to three lead not much for Wake Forest's to do here other than the run up with Bill Smith [Applause] last four minutes the first half course first four minutes of the second half normally our Clemson's domain and they own that period of time that transition strike quick get the ball back that's why the best team the country stay tuned after the break stats brought to you by Bright House Financial and we were asking for Wake Forest to push the ball down the field at some point they did three times in the first half and on those three downfield shots Newman through two picks well the first interception Newman certainly tried to get the get up the sideline it's under throwing Tanner news pick and then the Terrell one right at the end of the half it's just an under thrown football the rest of the way for Clemson so both teams are down big-time rock receivers Darion Kendra finds a crease it opens up the second half with a good return the officials have not ruled him down yet they're looking at one another and it's Dillon officials conference now they finally make the announcement the Kendrick flows down Pacific Life game summary and it was a first half hat-trick of touchdown passes from Trevor Lawrence to Tegan they got started early with the strong hands by T Higgins and then Travis ETN one of the best backs in America who saw physical he was a runner and how about Tanner Muse on Senior Day certainly defensively the MVP of this game so far for Clemson check down throw I love that like that that is a good play by Trevor Lawrence because it's the only play everything else was conferred you can't throw the ball downfield no it's not glamorous but I love the decision look it turns into an 11 or 12 yard game so the check downs can be his friend [Applause] Travie CTN down after a gain of about three and Alison you had a chance to catch up with Dave Clausen it is our greatest fear that's what he told me at the half that Clemson knows what we're playing was on the outside those guys aren't getting into City separation winning any of their battles so Clemson is able to jam the box and just stop the run that's why they've struggled so much offensively they want to pass the ball more but he said it's tough because when we have taken shots it's been picks and he said I told my guys look we're gonna throw it has to be positive incomplete it cannot be a pick looking downfield wanting to take a shot as Trevor Lawrence now he's extending to play and he comes back to a secondary receiver and that's Travis Eden who fails out his quarterback and looks like he is at the first down line to gain and they will give Clemson a first down two things that these two places start to have for these my two favorite plays of the game so far records because that's quarterbacking that doesn't take this physical talented the superior talent that he has we saw in that touchdown pass at the end of the first half but just the right play nothing's there don't force it downfield take check downs to good quarterbacking place [Applause] etienne bottled up at the line to the ball pop back ended up with Brian spender but they're going to say that his forward progress was stopped it looks like that ball was out before he was down but the key was the official says his forward progress was stopped that's not reviewable were fortunate that that ball was up fortunate also with the body position Etienne never goes got her [Applause] Casey truck Black's throne it looks like a good face basket call - Kaz Williams [Applause] I'll go back to it I love the play by Etienne as you see choc I think there was a clip no I think there was a clip with a facemask right away and then it looks like the shoulder pad at the end right there's definitely a clip of that facemask right there there's a grab of that facemask and then the Jersey the pocket stays that the flag stays in my pocket yes if I'm dead possum those last two calls have me out of my skin as overton and gets all the way down inside the ten-yard longer you're dead possum two plays ago it looks like your defense forces of fumble and you recover and rather than saying that the player was down the officials say his forward progress was stopped well that takes replay out of her now you can't review it forward progress is a judgment call and on the very next play you get 15 yards when a player barely grazes the facemask and you can't grab the inside of the shoulder pads a grieving here's ETN most of the 5-yard line the Wake Forest has to be thinking Clemson doesn't need any help they're good enough on their own without the official skipping from a 15-yard penalty and denied asset turnover read the tackle on the fumble - like that was a really fast whistle really fast with so that's probably the one that Clausen has a little bit more reason to at second and goal [Applause] one-on-one matchups on the outside of your Trevor Lawrence [Applause] it collapses I'm not sure if that was Trevor Lawrence looking to get out of the pocket or if that was designed quarterback run but he's brought down close to the 10-yard line and again let's go back to the etn call where forward progress was real do if it's tough [Applause] that's a really quick whistle that's that's a miss let's let's call what it is right that's a Miss by the officiating crew which would have been a huge turnover to start the second half for Wake Forest defensively it's third down and goal for the tech Lawrence rifles one of the back of the end zone he's got another touchdown pass this one of the true freshman Frank lats a third of the year for Lancer [Music] [Music] [Music] show outstanding job by Trevor Lawrence watch his eyes here peak to the right come back across the field fine lad sick ball placement high on the facemask touchdown Tigers you have to think it will be one of the two college football playoff games championship Saturday December 28th now the Tigers look like they are on March where they not only trying to win but trying to look good doing it leave 38 3 here against Wake Forest well mean they could do it on the defensive side of the ball too and the big thing is their secondary right just know where to throw the football if you're a quarterback you're going hey here's my read but the coverage by both corners Terrell in Kendrick it's really locked down and if you're a quarterback you're looking ok coach where do you want me to throw the football here because there's nowhere that I can look at it half of a football game but that's been the story all season for this defense everything that was on their dominant defensive line has transitioned to the linebackers in the secondary and it's the best back seven in football here comes the Blitz again Newman honey designed rolled out sidearms one of the sidelines looking for Stephen Claud that's incomplete as we take a look at this week's college football playoff rankings brought to you by chick-fil-a Clemson and Ohio State taking care of business and Georgia that's a little busy eyebrow-raising score for us right we thought all burn might put up more of a fight maybe they still will Georgia's defense is carrying them probably to the SEC title game it certainly looks that way the receivers have made enough plays Jake Fromm I think is one of the better quarterbacks in a country but really dominant performance defensive in his last four or five weeks out of Georgia's defense speaking of which another blitz another tackle for loss this went to Justin Foster and it's amazing they did this earlier on game day Kirk Ferentz as Iowa hot dogs in games were they or a home underdog I believe and certainly in games where they're playing one of those ranked opponents it's amazing how often they become the giant-killer and get the job done and they're doing it again today against Minnesota I was I was on Minnesota's bandwagon lately but after that performance last week and I thought they should have been ranked higher I've never played at Kinnick but people talked about playing at Kinnick in November like it's one of the hardest things and to do what it's showing itself today [Applause] velentin well short of the first down marker least four yards is a flag down on the play [Applause] offensive pass interference offense number five that pill will be declined fourth down [Applause] he's got reason to be frustrated I'm not sure if that last call specifically the officials got wrong but certainly we do down 38 three in a few the whistles have not gone you away you're going to react the way coach klaahsen is for yeah there's there's a little bit of a displaced anger there on that front that play and really from the previous drive for Clemson talking's NGO just gets it away and there's a angling it to the sideline well inside the 20-yard line Oh impressive [Applause] etn bouncing off tacklers that's outside losing a cup of the Arts with the turbulence but the tiny pilot gets to the NFL it will feel like we have been watching him play for a decade but this is really nothing new to him when he was in high school as an 8th grader he went to spring practice with the varsity football team and then be demoscene and became a four year high school started 52 - and break all of deshaun Watson George a passing reference many Kent Clemson and he shows up as part of a four quarterback group on the depth chart but he came as a freshman and four games into his freshman season coffee is able to win the job over this won the national championship he's a sophomore it seems like forever it's just he seems to be very comfortable no matter what the level going in as they're working to the three four years older than him say you know I think there's a couple things tied to that one incredible talent patear incredible self belief right like there is a supreme amount of confidence in his ability and then the work ethic his time doing as well with anticipation rips it outside to teach a chase this touchdown is so impressive watching take two it's right okay number ones not there let me get through it number two I don't like that coverage slide in the pocket number three and an absolute laser the lats inferred touchdown I've talked about getting through progressions and seeing the coverage we answered it right there that was we've had moments today that was another moment when you pointed to say number one pick in the FRG steps up in the pocket a rifle shot down the sideline incomplete for number that I thought was interesting matter and stats of information folks gave us before today's game Trevor Lawrence against the Blitz coming into today 12 touchdowns no interceptions but against the conventional pass rush where you send four or less 11 touchdowns eight interception so when you blitz them he lights you up when you buy coverage he struggles a little bit more what does that tell his patients you got to be a Charlie check down at some point there you go Hill screams Olivia Victor he's in the open field Lynn Jay Dixon getting blocks all the way down inside the 10 yard line when you can throw into a back that is Abeka that it's as good as Lyn Jay Dixon absolutely and you get those big logs out in front blocking out the space but no it's just Trevor Lawrence just understanding debt just because you love a throw and you've made that throw before it doesn't mean you have to and sometimes the five yard check down I've always said this Tom Brady drew brees Peyton Manning I don't have to watch them play to know what their box score is gonna look like it think they're willing to play a boring brand of football at times and that sister Grothe news about Lynn Jay fix it makes it look easy it's another Clemson touchdown [Applause] dixon follows up his 55-yard screen for the 9-yard touchdown rush and tigers doing what you knew they had to do because of the perception of the ACC and that is poured on when they have a chance at the left side of the line blocked out the center in the right sideline parlor closed down and when Jay Dixon just a nice jump cut in the hole but here's the thing that I love about the football team you go into half 31:3 it would have been incredibly easy to come out and walk through this second not this team urgency led by their coach in their quarterback as them up 45 3 he gave a smile to his head coach but then there was a tearful embrace with his mom Roxanne you see Roxanne race him on her own oftentimes working three jobs to provide for her family they live in a neighborhood marked by gangs drugs and violence at time they move about the house by command delight because the electricity would barely speak before the games did you ever imagine this would be possible she said no but I always knew something was different about him kayvon was special from the time he was a youngster and I knew he would go on and do great things now I asked her if there will be a more emotional day to come because you see in December he will become the first member of his family to graduate from a four-year institution and she looked at me and she said man that's going to be a tough one too she is just so proud as she should reach it into the bag to get the phone you know why because it's about to blow us now everyone's going to be texting her talking about that is the quintessential senior day story and what makes college football so special I mean what an amazing moment I think that's my senior day it just takes you back to the moment when you decide to go to school if you don't know if it's gonna be the right choice or not or how it's going to turn out I will imagine Kavon Wallace just shared those emotions and tears with his mom of it was the right choice you know it worked out and it was one of the greatest things that could have ever happened to him in his picks up eight yards there's bomb on the phone get ready the messages are off and start to flow in hence it really was brought home even this week talking on some of the talk shows that were part of you won't get up and I felt been for Stephen a submit' couple times on the radio this week as a play-action fake in Newman and shoot and complete 480 Perry but talking to Marcus Spears this week talking to Ryan Clark this week about LSU beating Alabama and that reaction of the LSU team gun when they got back to Baton Rouge what was waiting for at the airport and look I called the Jets on the radio you spent over a decade the NFL the NFL's the top league in the world is the best athletes it's the best competition there's just something different about college and how these players for the rest of their lives relate to these programs what it means to I think it's the just the emotional tie the relationships that you build with guys you know it's your choice a lot of times in the NFL no you go learn who selects you and that's the difference tell us people you pick the school and there is that emotion we'll try that it's it's hard to replicate if you if it anybody could ever come close to it and to that point I asked Trevor warns about that right what do you love about play it's just that Dan it's the relationships you the guys on the team he's obviously it's different than Facebook but there's that kind of similar feel you see the city is see each other in class that same passion that same goal she's that I just love playing the game with these guys it's just a really special special thing I also think part of it is too because once you decide to go to school there's a group of people that because of that decision and the colors who wear will automatically love you there's a group of people because the color you wear will automatically hate me and that's unique to college before the shoes of Dan Orlovsky [Music] quarterback James Trevor Lawrence is certainly proving his point today and chase price the redshirt sophomore new Davos when he said never even thought about transferring Laurens got the job [Applause] is as invested as anyone Jay Dixon Trevor Lawrence tying a career-high today with for scoring best he's on fire it started early little play fake things meant the T Higgins how about this whole shot pump fake again ball placement the T Higgins right before the half hanging in the pocket throw the ball down the middle of field how about starting the second half getting through a progression one two three and then an absolute rope to the back of the endzone the Ladson he's playing quarterback position as good as anyone in college football these last four weeks it's off the edge picked up then price has an easy pitch and catch first down I'll ramp this way out to the 35 yard line for a gain of 15 I'd be smiling firing him too quick word 21 27 270 and for Teddy's because he knows what's coming this team is building and building and building and it's led by their quarterback who has improved about heat value as Miss swinging the coach's son negative play here in the second half for the Clemson offense but it's been five games dance since they avoided disaster at Chapel Hill and it seems like they have sent a message since that 21 20 win now this doesn't even include today they will add to these numbers today but this the last five games coming into this afternoon since they escaped against North Carolina by a point and if you talk to Dabo and the coaching staff about this that game and what it did to them it was made them realize they got to keep two hands on the wheel they got accelerate through the finish keep two hands on the wheel don't get comfortable because that's when the accident happens when you get closest to your destination now give credit to North Carolina for how they played but he believes it was a really good moment for him and Trevor Lawrence and this this team this year to have fought and be be behind in a football game inmate relay to go win the game and it happened and he thinks it's going to be it has been a springboard and really good kind of built building for their future rest of the season it's it's picked up and price throws a pick [Applause] No [Applause] he did good a third-string safety that was able to drop back along the sidelines and get his first career interception so Brice gives one up that's the first Clemson turnover a good dish drops underneath watch the right side of the screens of the comeback tangata and good just drops right underneath and it's like chase Bryce never even [Applause] his way through the line picks up about eight so what he's been able to victimize Clemson with Funston has given the ball away its prepare that Clemson turns it over the wage bar is trying to buck the trend actually score some points off the turnover have a play from scrimmage longer than 10 yards today [Applause] outside doctor he's got a first down I think if you're awake here in your warm Ruggiero their offensive coordinator and Dave cloths and the head coach like you just want to see your team go and run some good plays here we know what the outcome of the football game is going to be but last year when this game got out of hand Wake Forest effort did not look good when they played Clemson in the second half you just want to see the effort still there in your team focusing on still playing good football because this is a really good football team that still has a couple weeks left to play that matter they're going to a bowl game they've already won seven games this season [Applause] we'll be second down of long and they think they're going to get Scottie Washington back before the season is over get an ankle sprain against NC State a couple of weeks ago and just worse than they thought and so they believe that they may be able to get him back and course st. Surratt they know they're not getting back he's got a shoulder injury that required surgery so he's done for the season and Justin strid on Torres biceps against Florida State also needed surgery your best linebacker you move between the ACC in tackles per game when he went down so it's arguably your two most valuable offensive weapons and arguably your second best defensive player and you lose all three for an extended period of time to cumin seeds and I'd be willing to say that Scottie Washington save Sara and Ken can best recieving trio in the ACC outside of Clemson's right and so that's saying a lot because there's some talented groups in this conference and so to play without those guys in the impact that has it's got a Washington six-five that's a big bodied weapon to have to be pole [Applause] so I can say he's brought down right about Apple honest Kermit's Jordan Williams [Applause] so a fourth down that's a bad spot that's what Dave Claussen's argued about because I think that Jamie Newman had gotten bounced forward or gotten poured and bounce backwards so there should be support take a look at it while we head to the fourth quarter Bunsen another look at our Pacific Life game summary Trevor Lawrence tying a career-high with four touchdown passes and Travis etn for the second consecutive year Dan putting up over 100 against Wake Forest yeah he had his big game started early physical runner trick obviously Trevor Lawrence with a massive afternoon the fourth down play for Wake Forest to start the fourth quarter Newman broke it up a rifle one into jacory Roberson's red bike pens up Johnson [Applause] but back to the offense for Clemson and chase Bryce off the interception with Darion wrencher now in the backfield as the tailback and off the redshirt and he stays on his feet spins take a look at today's punch time brought to you by cheese it and it goes back to what might be the crucible moment of this season for Clemson North Carolina had scored a touchdown with a minute 17 remaining but their two-point conversion to try and win and failed for Mack Brown and Clemson held on for Dabo 21 to 20 was the final and they have been on a mission seemingly so ever since his rancher picks up a first down they've been unstoppable since that near calamity a chaplain and there's not often that you could point to a single play say that play saved our season right because it plays so many games and oftentimes games come down to a bunch of different plays but you could point to Clemson season especially if they go on to the playoff which they will and potentially go win the national title you could point to and be like that play won us another national title [Applause] the yard fallen forwards Kent dipped Springs down richer it's bye week after this week we to be idle for Clemson to heal up and get ready for their Thanksgiving weekend rivalry game against South Carolina this year that games in Columbus have to win that one on the road they've already locked up another trip to the ACC title game four consecutive when she gets down the sideline he's at West territory for the first down [Applause] and they're actually gonna win their fifth consecutive ACC championship game the only other team in the championship game era and a power five conference to do that was Florida back in the early 90s 93 through 96 the Gators did and sitting with dabble yesterday because I knew the bye with his college they think this would be their first body a decision I know what it's like to have to be a player when we got a bye week coming it's been a long year I went to Daiso you know I've handled anything if you talk to the team differently to make sure that they're focused have you given them the schedule for next week and he looked at me like just words for him like that is he's built it is a best-of one this is the week that we have is the one game that we into itself rifles wounded a softlock and drops it into and got for a first half a terrific throw from a young quarterback the Dabo Swinney told us two guys he might be the backup to Trevor Lawrence he's gonna play on Sundays I think he's that good yeah when he comes in the game they don't change any other play Khan but they stay aggressive with their play calling they think he is an outstanding player and he's had a lot of good moments when he's been on the field go back to last hearing searchers came good moments when he was in the football game execute his offense really pressure and a good decision by Chase Price the screen that he wanted to set up to meet price in the opposite direction was blown up Tyler Williams and Tyler Williams putting pressure on Bryce so he just dirts the ball he graduates this spring you know so it'll be interesting gap ahead you know mentioned he graduates this spring he's completely committed to Clemson but it'll be interesting to see if he wants to do something with his his own future because knowing 16 is not going anywhere although he does have a couple of years of eligibility left he hangs in rows one up to see that the five at the goal line it's in Ghana is he in yes it's a touchdown [Applause] 21 yard touchdown strike from Chase Price to Joseph in Ghana little called fake watch price flip the hips and gotta the big six foot three receiver secured hand catch and then reaching over that goal line watch is he full-extension yeah that's a touchdown route by and ghanta young freshmen stem stuck his outside foot got the corner to flip his hips strong hands catch that's something that stands out above these Clemson receivers point out to me the last time you saw them catch a ball with their body [Applause] touchdowns in the last six possessions Trevor Lawrence and out chase price with the ball the answer when did you realize like it really hit me when I made the first video our side profiles match up really like nicely we have the same nose teeth and like jawline and of course the hair and of course the hair and so it was really kind of freaky I posted on sling did you have any idea that it would take off and kind of blow up like it happened absolutely no idea I really just made it to like make my friends laugh and show my family and stuff and I woke up with the kanji thousand likes and it blew my mom and that's a lot on tick tock right I'm not familiar with the yet but I'm guessing that's quite a bit then you came today to the game the first time ever it accepts the game right right and tell me about the moment on the Tiger Walk Dabo starts walking and my dad yells that's the tick-tock girl and java turns to me with wide eyes and open arms he's like and he gave me the biggest hug she was so nice and Trevor he was like oh we need a picture got the picture that's all over Twitter and so how cool is it that both Dabo Swinney and under Lawrence know who you are kind of surreal sounds like I watch people on TV and I admire these people and I just hugged up what did he ask you [Applause] yes so what is the best thing that's happened to you since you have become an internet sensation of me the videos gone father it's the coolest craziest thing that you've experienced started watching us right now they started chanting track [Applause] we were sitting on the bus nice to me enjoy the 15 that is funny Trevor what seats are on the sidelines it starts waving during the interview shut up - dad okay dabbu it's the tic-tock girl even though it was his daughter another key moment in college football and a coach's son gets the field of punt on the will swoon he steps out of bounds so dabo's son falls that one in a fifty yard kick from a Gio's been the star today Wake Forest step aside 52 to think he made the lists I'm thinking he might have been our choice chase Bryce sets up shop the Chazz Malusi late flag is thrown after Athena bodyguard but we fund it was the greatest of all time at least in Clemson history honorable mention players the fridge on there with Brian Dawkins Dwight Clark CJ spiller [Applause] now we left Terry Canard off this list that might have been a Miss yeah how about I can't believe that you guys left off Woodrow Dantzler there you go when I say you guys I mean you right you mean blaming all of us for doing that yeah I understand I grew up on board aha they football historian that you are you are a yeren encyclopedia we've learned so much as the season has gone on another flag thrown is bockwurst assault offense over 27 yard penalty second after that Bock horse picks up a 15-yard penalty Malusi now adds on [Applause] seriously Woodrow Dantzler was kind of Deshawn before Deshawn you know one of the first kind of dual threat quarterback first first quarterback ever to go 3,000 yards passing a thousand yards rushing how's that pressure price making a shot down the sideline just about dropped it in Pawel the intended receiver to be about as good throws chase price to bacon speaking of Clemson history earlier Fred Kohn was honored here at death valley the oldest living member of the Clemson Ring of Honor 93 years old and he received a well-deserved standing ovation from the capacity crowd so we'll step aside just for a moment before third down and long on a Disney bundle is now available to get ESPN plus with great content like NFL primetime UFC NHL and the 34:30 library end you get Disney Plus and you get Hulu it's an amazing package of movie sports and shows then to ESPN plus top cop to sign up now got it I already got it I already watched a couple episodes in Laura outstanding is it drops like on third down [Applause] Michael dukes gets all the way out to about the 29 yard line let's give other update with Cassidy thanks Bob now for today's Allstate mayhem moment in the Ohio State Route over Rutgers justin fields to Crystal Ave who makes us catch essentially with his legs would lead to a touchdown as the number 2 Buckeyes are rolling in the fourth take a look at that Wow drop back to you that's an amazing catch [Applause] and a message being sent by a house state in the game where you knew they had to win in lopsided fashion and they're doing just that against Rutgers yeah and I've talked about how state today I I think that Ohio State and Clemson are the two most complete football teams in the the 20 about the 18 of Stephens Sawicki we're all about the Millennials we're all about the instant chip does it again for a Jim I think Jeff is a peanut butter chip we're gonna go gift I think it's jiff though technically there hey Allison with Bella Martina who is the doppelganger of Trevor Lawrence he saw the two of them conducting the interview in the stands it's waived listen I promise you 16 is going to get some grief from his big boys up front for that more Mike hey Trevor let's not be waving into the stance that the girl that he's like yeah he's giving he's gonna catch some ribbing from his guys has taken over is upper-middle for about three four way forest tonight we got a match up to the top team big 12 number 10 meets number 13 Oklahoma and Baylor that's coming up as soon as we're done here at Death Valley it is Saturday Night Football presented by bass pro shops and Cabela's 7:30 Eastern right here on ABC the ESPN the job that met rules down at Baylor two years ago in their City incredible coaching joint you can tell what the selection committee still thinks of Baylor's it got them up in the top 15 but not in the top ten yet the second FCS team to reach 1906 in 1937 with a couple of seasons of starting o @ 8 UCF is the other team that pulled that off so it is an amazing job done by Matt roll no one ever expected to bet Baylor to be relevant this quickly but tonight is really like you could tell the committee looked at tonight's game and said now's your chance we move it to you get to prove it to it to us against the Oklahoma team that is really really good old ffensive LY and I think Vincente Charlie puth can get hot as a quarterback against an Oklahoma defense that has struggled the last two years bounces around and picks up a first down now what's the likelihood that the winner of that game tonight because I would really put Oklahoma they're already handed with one loss [Music] the team tonight does what Clemson's trying to do and put together a legit playoff resume to actually be in the top four when we get to the end of the season I don't think that there's anything that Clemson or Oklahoma can do tonight to catapult them up over the next ranking or tuned because bailers Baelor goes out there wins tonight and wins handily [Applause] noticed that hey weren't undefeated picked 12 powered five team and we just hooked up on they teamed here at their top 10 so I think Baylor winning would do more for the conference their chance of getting someone and then better chance of one of those kind of Dark Horse conference winners to make the top form an ultimate champion between between said Baylor and Oklahoma or the winner and ultimate champion say between Horrigan in Utah I think the winner from the pack if Oregon goes on and wins the pac-12 who beats Utah obviously they would have won 12 games in a row their one loss would have been against Auburn on the last play of the game when they were out for starters I think that they would have a water proof in evidence to go four best teams in the country that's saying ok ha State wins out and gets in that saying that Clemson wins out gets in that same LSU is Hamilton and a conversation we were having off the air so much they one of the best teams because sua it looks like as a very serious hip injury airlift into a Birmingham hospital he's there now you don't know right now there are reports he might be done for the season certainly would be surprised if that turned out to be true if they don't have their star quarterback is there Canada see for the top floor looked that differently I think it is the committee because their job isn't currently hard to begin with but I've done the mock selection committee things they talk about every very firm and they talk about injuries whether it's having a positive impact for 17 or an egg when they are good at is their offense right and if the guy isn't there are they still one of the four best teams in the country but I think that you know third game against Auburn would go a long way in determining that at the end there at the Iron Bowl but do I think that Toa if if the injury is what its kind of gets being reported to be do I think that Alabama's the viewpoint of Alabama by the selection committee will drop absolutely will Sweeney's going to let this one bounce into the end zone so Clemson will try and put the finishing touches 52 to 3 when we come back looks like there was a late penalty flag thrown back out near midfield today's one is for mrs. Wade 30 seconds before entering the field for the gathering at the ball [Applause] what's your number Jim the play was over personal foul unnecessary roughness number 46 dependably be half the distance to the goal from the dead-ball spot so they can take piece of ball first day three deep at quarterback for Clemson has been Batson takes over he will hand one to michael dukes he beeps out to about the 14 yard line [Applause] [Music] you know it's been a good afternoon when your backup now is taken out of the game and he's got a headset on because the third finger Mattson close to a first down a SportsCenter tonight from Los Angeles for Arizona Oregon's big one of the pac-12 and then when Dakota stand for rent we'll give you an update on the injury to two Otunga by llola and the effect it could have on the playoff race Plus after Saturday's results heathered image on how the pac-12 playoff prospects look also a report from the Colin Kaepernick workout Sports Center after college football on ESPN Deutz it's South instead of North on third down and one you know the teaching never stops for Davos Sweeney and the penalty right before we went to break look at 46 right on the 33 yard line right now is he going to the 40 okay as he searches up his guy all right go block him okay this was not done in that moment right there is what draws the flag in the watch Dabo just watched Apple go talk to him hey what are you doing this is not what we do here at Clemson and I promise you he's telling dapple is one of those coaches that truly believes in what you say and how you say the impact it has on the person not just the football player the person and he takes advantage of every moment he can to make sure the message gets across of what's the expectation like what's the expectation level like every moment that you have orange on oh there's a culture here there's no question about it and it's a reason why all of his assistants have stayed with it forever you're an offensive coordinator like Jeff Scott Brent Venables you know you've gotten calls over the past seven to eight years with all the success they've had to think about going someplace else as a head coach those guys stay they stay because they believe in the culture here in the family atmosphere not only the fact that they do so much winning but how they do it and how this program is wrong yeah I've got so many friends in the coaching business and they number one thing they say is it all depends on who you coach for right and who the head coaches and the lifestyle that allows you to lead when you're coaching and is it fun to go to work and does he belittle you or lift you up in are you part of a culture or a program that is enjoyable to be around every day and that's what Dabo has here in to your point Bob that's why those coaches don't leave they don't chase the dollar because they realize what they have here it's not it's special a lot this is special with what's here is special illegal formation offense five men in the backfield five-yard penalty from the end of the wood saving team keeps the ball first down you were up there at the start of the game had some fans next to Howard's rock at the top of the hill and that's got to be about the most taken picture for a Clemson fan that you could find and you were there as the seniors came in on senior day and Clemson their final run down the hill of this season really cool I'm thankful that I got to go do it I'm thankful that I'm telling a bit of our some cool stuff because of football because this game that was one of the coolest four or five minutes stretches that I've ever been a part of and I'll remember it for a long time Starsky I'm Babu shoes are awesome Williams down on the field if you're wondering why that student section is still packed the traditional gathering at the paw takes place at the end of every Clemson game and win they're about to extend the nation's longest home win streak this would be number 22 in a row of Death Valley and number 26 in a row [Applause] [Music] you used the word special for a lot of this place especially campus special culture special football team special coaching special the only game that remains for Clemson is now the rivalry game against South Carolina the ACC championship game and if they take care of business hard to imagine they will not be to get another college football player [Applause]
