You can't EVER let off the gas....Texas will mess around and get jacked up if they don't wake the f up.
You could literally see them relaxing leading up to that touchdown. You can't ever do that against a good team...and Clemson ain't really good or great by a long ways, but they are a good team with weapons and pride, and in this game they have literally nothing to lose...they are lucky just to be here and playing with house money.
I know this frustrates some. I know a few more wrestle with the place and time, but when you finally have that unadulterated breakthrough where you aren't judging just hopeful for all your brothers to find the peace you have it is a feeling that is hard to contain.
