Clemson went to visit Auburn in the SEC in Jordan-Hare stadium tonight and played a tough game that went to overtime. The game was one of the most physical games I've seen in a long time, and you could tell both teams really wanted to win this one. Both teams had alot to gain; Clemson could gain a top 25 ranking and ACC dominance, and Auburn could solidify their image with a tough win. Auburn ended up winning by a field goal in overtime, but only thanks to Clemson's own fault. In overtime, Clemson had a fieldgoal opportunity to tie the game, and had an illegal snap penalty which is a rare penalty. On the second fieldgoal try, after the penalty, Clemson's kicker pulled it wide left and ended the game. The main story from this game though is all of the injuries. Kyle Parker played with a serious back/ribs inury for almost the entire second half, one lineman from each team broke a leg and had to be carted off, and there's no telling how many people had the wind knocked out or had minor concussions. Clemson may have lost tonight, but they made it clear they have tons of talent and can probably play with any team in the country. Auburn is still a solid team and all eyes will be on the Alabama vs. Auburn game at the end of the season.
