Offensives haven't taken many chances yet, not much aggressive
play calling. Handoff, banging forward for a 1st
down is Randall. It's hard to believe that a
guy that had 4 carries, big play here,
2nd quarter. Handoff. Bites into the end zone
, touchdown. Randall on 2nd effort, refused to
be stopped. That's a converted receiver, looking a
lot like a power back. Wow. Well that
was a collision. First we had a great block
by Keith Adams Junior, the fullback. But what
an effort, Chris, you talked about, talked
about it, it's with there's the first collision as
the linebackers, LSU thinks they've got him stopped,
but Tigers to begin the 3rd quarter, Randall is
in the backfield. And he's got the football,
spins free. The man who made the play of
the game so far picks up 6. Pressure comes
, Klubnik scrambling, scanning, flips it over the
middle, and the catch is made for a first
down. If there was any indecision heading into this
game, that first drive before the delay helped him
. Plubnik to throw, flushed out of the pocket
, hits Randall out of the backfield, hit him
about 6. Klubnik back at it. Gives to
Randall, up the middle. Good pick up on
1st down to 5 yards, but they needed a
big game out of both Jamal Williams, 0 on
one side and Elijah Davis, 11 on the other
one. Randall's gonna have to make it happen on
his own, and he won't even come close.
This squad was ranked, I believe, 20th in
the country. Definitely not, uh, 8th with
all the hype that Clemson has. Randall wants to
give it a try. And he's glad that he
did it out to the 30. Randall Down to
6. And that's what they want to clean up
, guys, but he likes what he sees going
on, guys. Yeah, why not? Up
16 to 3, those penalties, penalties that goal
range at the end of that first half. Randall
a good run on 1st down. This is a
Clemson team and now 6 quarters into the season.
And keep in mind this was going into the year
, arguably the best quarterback in college football and the
best whiteout crew as well. And now they are
trying to exert their dominance running the football. Randall
into Troy territory, ankle tackled inside the 30.
David Cisfana. With the tackle with 45 yards for
Randall, they finally got Adam Randall loose. Only
had 17 rushing yards in the first half, he's
got about double that. Randall touchdown. Troy still
has 2 timeouts on the board, so they need
a big stop here. Just feeding Randall and letting
him run tough. The big 235 pound tailback.
Double 3rd and long situation, 3rd and 22.
Clemson's 3 for 5 on 3rd down, but they're
just gonna play the punt here as Randall is gonna
get what he can and now he bumps it.
A terrible give up by the defense for Georgia Tech
, what a move by Randall. Clayton Powell Lee
without Clayton Powell Lee on the field because of the
injury. Gonna run it straight. Make no mistake
, this is a touchdown, Adam Randall. And
now we are indeed once again a point after away
from a tie, but we are tied. This
is a big time run. The offensive line trying
to take over this football game, and now we've
got a tie score. Randall. To the 50
yard line and to the 45 of Syracuse before he's
finally brought down by Cornell Perry. Let's go.
Lovenick all day, extends the play, floats it
endzone. Hoop up touchdown, Adam Randall. Back
to his roots, the running back used to be
a wide receiver, and he looked like one there
. Nice job initially by the Syracuse defense. Well
, they'll give Randall a chance. And he gets
. There goes Randall. They're just trying to run
the clock out and instead Adam Randall pops one.
Stick with what works. So far that's been Randall
. Hammering his way for another first down, it
appears. That's another 10 yard carry. Randall on
the return. Randall tripped up, almost sprung it
. Spent a couple of years at Cal, now
wrapping his career. At Syracuse. Lubnick steps up
the checkdown to Randall. Scampers to the sideline and
gets out of bounds, collide with each other and
then he does the rest of his legs. Out
of the backfield, this is Randall again, a
good runner after the catch, tiptoes down the sideline
. Touchdown. He stayed inbounds for the score.
A bewildered defense left in his wake. How about
that? Good pickup. Looked like a nice golf
divot there, right. That one, or is
it the next one? I believe it's a 10
yard line. Yeah, ready to 10. Good
call, Jerry. That's why we need natural grass
everywhere, Mark. They move the chains 1st and
10, time winding down. This will be the
last play in all likelihood on the double move,
room service, touchdown, Randall. We've seen a
screen pass or some sort of trick play, go
for it. Clay clock inside a 5. Randall
shakes off one tackler and scores. Right there,
they should be able to make the play, but
they continue to miss tackles, they don't wrap up
, and when you don't wrap up and you've got
a power back, like loss of 2 on the
play on the throw, now they're gonna hand the
ball to Randall and he'll break free. Up the
middle goes Adam Randall, and it's a 1st down
. At a moment's notice, he could be running
the offense. Here is Randall on the kick return
at the 15th. Adam, 2025, 30,
look out, out toward the 32. Randall,
the running back. They're gonna hand it to Adam
Randall into the secondary. Good hard run by Randall
, Stone makes another Duke tackle. Straight ahead,
touchdown for Adam Randall. Nobody blocked, boom,
he's gonna hit that safety, knock him backwards.
And what you're seeing is a momentum shift right now
. See if they can, like you said,
West, can they come back and score here.
Randall the carry breaks through two tackles, 1st down
and more out to the 20 yard line. Clubnick
gonna run it again with Randall. Adam Randall first
down and more. How about first and goal,
and now a flag is thrown in late. Talk
about your power eyes. Tossed to Randall, right
side, touchdown for Clemson. Mm. See him
here to the right right now. They're going to
toss the ball out here and let Peter Woods be
a lead blocker, seal the box like he did
. Sets the front, he comes, runs up
, fills the box. He's a great tackler,
two great players. Tossed to Randall, gets his
started tonight at Clemson, and Randall keeps his feet
. He'll get 11, maybe 12 on the ground
. Antonio Williams, the motion man. Randall,
up the gut. Adam Randall in for 6.
I guess there's more ways than one to go deep
. They choose to do it on the ground with
Adam Randall. And he broke a tackle, showing
you how big and how strong uh he is,
and right at along the line of scrimmage, one
guy got a hand on him, ACC championship game
MVP. And he puts it in the belly of
his running back, Randall speeds down the sideline,
stiff arm. And out of bounds after a huge
run, they mark him out. At the 10
yard line, it's a gain of 46. Well
, if you're wondering if Randall can run, he
just showed you that he can indeed do exactly that
, and I mean, Instead it's Randall. Fighting
Waiting for a signal. A touchdown Clemson, and
we are tied at 19. A little pull from
Blake Miller.
