Extra Points: Snapshot

By Lee Pace

The shadows were lengthening as the third quarter drew near its close Saturday in Kenan Stadium. Carolina and No. 1-ranked Clemson were locked in a 14-14 stalemate in front of a capacity crowd and ABC-TV audience in Kenan Stadium, and the Tigers faced a third-and-11 from their 29 yard line. You halfway expected to see Danny Ford crouched on his haunches on the visitors' sidelines as he liked to do, a chaw of tobacco punctuating his cheek, or maybe Kelvin Bryant striding like a gazelle to another first down in one of those epic Armageddons of Carolina blue and Tiger orange from decades ago.
