Think about your statement regarding Dabo ending the game early by running on the field and “how would it affect the outcome of the game?”
If it wouldn’t have, then why did Dabo not go into a V formation previously, and instead tried to pile on another 7? If Dabo would have went into the V formation, it wouldn’t have affected the the outcome as the game would have been over, correct?
Dabo didn’t want to fall from #2 to possibly #4 and have to meet Bama early as Saban/Bama would have plenty of time to game plan just as they did last year.
If SCar would’ve score another TD with one second left, and then just decided for the heck of it to go for 2 and rub it in a little… How would that have impacted Clem in the rankings?
Also, in the above scenario of SCar getting one late, and 2 on top… What would the Clem fans be like then? Heck, they were unhappy with the win to begin with because they know it exposed their over hyped defense/program for what it is, are worried because the gap is closing with SCar, and their NC hopes are waning…

Or USC’s defense could’ve stopped Clemson from scoring. I have no problem with a coach running up the score. Players are coached and taught to never give up and push had the entire game. They shouldn’t have to reign themselves in. It’s the Offense’s job to score and the Defense’s job to stop them, period.
I have no doubt a 21 point win helped Clemson’s “quality of win” better than a 14 point win or a 7 point win against an unranked opponent but that’s the world college football has become. That doesn’t negate the fact that USC’s Def

It is. That's why it's called a Victory Formation...

“This is the formation that the offensive team takes when they have the lead near the end of the game and they want to run out the clock to preserve the win. Many times when the team lines up in the victory formation, the quarterback will perform a simple kneel.”
If the ball would have been deep close to Clem’s goal line, then would it have been “giving up”?
Just giving Fishb8 the classic definition of V-formation, since he asked. Who has the ball close to Clemson’s goal line, in your scenario? V-Formation is typically an offensive ploy, but, as Fishb8 showed me yesterday, I could be wrong?

Maybe it’s because he watched the Florida game, where The USC players bull rushed the Florida offense when they went into the victory formation?

Would have Dabo gone into the V formation with the ball on Clem’s 1 yard line and not give up with 99 yards to score another 7 to help in the rankings? Character isn’t defined by where the play lies when a coach makes a decision to “not give up”…
and the one over Bama was because Kiffin left a week before the NC game…

Nah, Clem fans know enough about it as they were already squawking about it a day after Kiffin’s firing with concerns of how the rest of the world would view their soon to be NC as it was cheapened because of it… Apparently that fact, and the cheating to get the other one is a sticking point with Clem fans…

You never know, Tigers did have 3 - 95 yard TD drives!
