Admittedly, I only watched the game from the stands and deleted the DVR recording of it as soon as I got home, but from my recollection, it was quite clear that Clemson came off the throttle. Their offense seemed to completely abandon the big plays and went conservative in the second half. You can definitely disagree with my somewhat controversial opinion as for why Dabo did it, but I feel that it was pretty apparent that Clemson stopped playing all out.
I noticed that Dabo kept his starters in as well. I thought it was quite odd considering the game was fairly out of hand. I thought that he would at least pull Watson to avoid any chance of him getting hurt again.
