The Taxslayer Gator Bowl: #22 Clemson (8-4) vs Kentucky (7-5) (ESPN, 12PM ET)

[Voltopia]

3 turnovers in 10 plays is the kind of nonsense that makes me wonder if someone's getting, you know, a little money on the side. Unreal.

 

[Vol737]

Got some of that Florida Kool aid ( Skynyrd tea)

Refills must be free, too.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

2 point conversion is good to make it 27-21 Clemson with 6:45 left.


Wait, why exactly go for 2 there? It gives you less than a TD lead and you still lead by more than a FG if you kick the extra point (or even “able to tie it with a last minute FG if they score a TD” position)

Forces the PAT to matter

 

[AustinMem]

How did Kentucky win 7?

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

The only reason he didn’t fumble was the defender who was sacking him / throwing him down to the ground threw him right back on top of the ball he’d just had knocked out of his hands.

Yep. Better to be lucky than good.

Not saying I agree but teams do this because the opposing team if they score a TD they could miss extra point.

 

[AustinMem]

Both these teams are just not good

 

[TrueOrange]

And TD Kentucky with a 60 yard TD.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Klubnik is this year's Will Levis of college football. All kinds of accolades bestowed upon him in last year's Orange Bowl and going into this season....and I haven't seen a good performance out of him when he's played a better than average team.

As much as I detest Levis I can at least give him credit for having a strong arm.

Can't even say that for Klubnik from what I have seen.

 

[volfan102455]

There were a host of DB and only 1 WR back there - someone forgot to cover the WR.

 

[JCHateSteve]

If nothing else, Clemson looks like a mid tier ACC team today and Kentucky looks like Kentucky. I'll take it.

 

[ENGRVOL]

Stoops has turned Kentucky into a pretty competitive ACC team

Will Levis is an NFL QB, I doubt clubdick ever will be.

 

[Zues1]

I can't keep up with who wants to lose this one more

 

[StarRaider]

klubnik's mommy and daddy not make it to jax? have not seen them on the tv over and over and over.....

It’s honestly looked like 2 good defensive lines playing 2 bad offensive lines that can’t block for their QBs most of this game.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Kentucky has obviously been confused by the orange in Clemsons uniform.

They think they are playing the Vols or Florida.

Take away the turnovers and this game is probably blowout.

 

[Matt2496]

This is an oddly entertaining game.

 

[GAVol]

The breakdowns just keep coming

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Ugh…looks like Shipley tore his ACL.

 

[TrueOrange]

Last 6 game drives have been:

Fumble
Interception
Interception
FG (Clemson)
Fumble
29-yard TD (Clemson)
60-yard TD (Kentucky)

 

[volfan102455]

This is an oddly entertaining game.

It actually has. Not sure who I want to lose more though.

 

[OldandStillaVol]

Ugh…looks like Shipley tore his ACL.

Hope not. But he’s done for this game. Is this his last college game?

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Well.

Looks like Shipley should have opted out and declared for the draft.

Sucks seeing a kid get hurt in a bowl game.

 

[ENGRVOL]

Can’t blame them with the season Clemson has had.
