Clemson was down 3 in 4th quarter with 7 seconds left in the Championship game.
They had a timeout, I believe, but there was no guarantee that they would get to run another play. A play can easily take all 7 seconds before its over.
They could have easily scored an 'easy' FG and moved the game to OT.
Remember this is Clemson, who hadn't won a NC in 31 years and lost a close one last year.
It takes a lot of guts to say 'Lets go win it'. Clemson and Dabo did so.
Now think of all the 'lets go to overtime by taking a knee' or 'lets kill time and walk into halftime' stunts Butch has pulled on us. His ultra-conservative style will never get us over 9-10 game mark. His aggressive calls only come when he has no other choice. He is never the one to either 'deliver the knockout punch' or 'keep the gas pedal down'.
Unless there is a major philosophy shift, he is not winning us any championships (SEC or NC) here !!
