Really there’s no excuse, it’s the National Championship.
The team made mistakes, from the first offensive drive to the fake FG, it happens and the one that need to do to beat us is to force turnovers, not only did they do that, the scored on those turnovers too. Really like you said though, poor QB, bad safety play, also bad playcalling and the ineffectiveness to get to Trevor. Running game was good though.
Clemson did what an elite team is supposed to do, hopefully we’ll see em in New Orleans in 2020 for Part V.
