Yea it just seems like that was a temporary reprieve for PSU. They are having trouble containing Fields when he runs plus PSU's tackling hasn't been very good.
<hokiehead story> yeah, I was in CLT for the 2011 ACCCG, VT vs (the other) CU. scored great Tix off Craigslist and was like 7 rows up on 45 yard line, but middle of Clemson side. Ehhh, whatever.
Mags and I were sitting/standing next to a fairly cool Clemson couple during the game and exchanged much good-natured trash talking, swapped Lane vs Memorial ticket-scalpimg tips, reminisced on past games, etc... (context: At this time, VT was still top dog in the ACC and CU hadn't win a championship in 20 years). Dude and I exchanged contact info with loose discussion of connecting at a future in-campus game.
Wife and I had made new friends across enemy lines and all was cool.
The game turned on a Logan Thomas pick-6. As Clemson's db was running toward the VT end-zone, my new friend starts jumping and yelling very excitedly (as I would've in the opposite situation). And, as they scored, dude pounds me on the back and gives his new friend (me) a bear hug.
At this point, I close my eyes thinking "ok, you seem cool, but I am 100% definitely not celebrating with you".
He realizes the awkwardness of the situation and starts falling all over himself apologizing. His wife was even more embarrassed.
Clemson went on to win, and the rest is history.</hokiehead story>
I like Dabo, and try as I might, I really don't hate Clemson -- the schools are too similar.
