Clemson ran out of gas early and Lawrence was definitely off. Burrow made necessary adjustments and showed us why he has the potential to be a NFL star. I have one complaint in watching the game. Why is it a personal foul to blindside block someone running and not a foul to excessively hit an unprotected receiver while he is in the air? That hit was vicious, deliberate, and uncalled for as the ball had already sailed far over his head. Watching the replay and movement of the receiver’s head I was surprised that he was able to get up. If they’re going to call targeting for far less and frequently accidental contact, why not call a foul for dangerous and deliberate hits like this?
It wasn’t that Clemson ran out of gas. It was that LSU was that good. 500 yards of total offense that the beginning of the 4th quarter. Against the defending champs that had won a million games in a row. Just unreal.
