Defensive front sends message

Related Topics: Defensive tackle, Scott Pagano

With Clemson in front by 18 points in the second quarter, Boston College went on a 13-play, 79-yard drive that took 6:25 off the clock.

It was an impressive drive except for one little thing – they did not score. The Tigers, led by defensive tackle Scott Pagano, stoned the Eagles at the one-yard line on three straight plays. It was a goal line stance that sent not only a message to BC, but to anyone who plays third-ranked Clemson going forward – no team can line up and knock the Tigers’ off the ball.

Boston College, who Clemson beat 56-10 on Friday night, had second-and-goal from the three-yard line when Davon Jones ran straight ahead for two yard to the one-yard line.
