First of all the team’s heart was impressive. Far behind in a physical game, in miserable, cold conditions many teams would have quit after the pick, yours didn’t. It says a lot about the team. Kaizer looked good for a freshman, but not great. He did well taking what the defense gave him at the end of the game. For the first three quarters however, Clemson put eight in the box, daring the throw. He had open receivers all over the field but could not find them. It is not unusual for a freshman receiver to not be strong at progressions, but he wasn’t. There were several passes that could have been caught, but most were needlessly high. The last place you want to throw a wet ball is high. With arms fully extended they can’t help the hands adjust. Sometimes passes need to be thrown high, these didn’t. He also flat missed some easy throws. He shows sign of being a great QB. He isn’t now. If MZ is healthy you win by 20s.
Last comment: Kelly what the what? It is almost axiomatic that you don’t chase the 2 early in the game because you may not need it. If you go for one on the first TD, you could have tied with a kick. Also the call on the second 2 point try may be the worst ever. You give a run only (run option would have been OK) to a freshman QB?????????. Really strange bad call.
Last comment: For those still lament the FSU PI call, look at last night’s pick verses the FSU one. Last night’s was perfect. FSU’s will be called all day. SC got called for one in the ASU game for the same reason. The receiver must just get in the way, not seek contact.
