Clemson and Maryland played their game in case the Alabama/Nebraska score holds up from when they got disconnected with 3:00 left in the game. If Alabama wins, Clemson plays Maryland in the next round.
Clemson beat Maryland today 31-26 where Maryland played about as well as they could play.
Maryland outgained Clemson 315 yards to 227 but coughed up a fumble, 2 ints, and gave up a kick return for a TD while Clemson did not turn the ball over once.
Maryland forced Clemson to punt on their first 2 possessions and then broke a 15 yard run before fumbling the ball back to Clemson.
Maryland got on the board first with a long TD pass only to see it answered with a Spiller kickoff return for a TD.
Maryland also threw 2 interceptions. Not turning the ball over had been the key for Maryland's success this season. Maryland finished the game 16-for-24 for 272 yards with 3 TDs and 2 INTs.
Spiller ran for 94 yards on 13 carries (51 yards coming on 1 TD run).
The game ended up close in the end thanks to a Maryland onside kick recover and then drive to score to cut it to 31-26. They almost recovered another onside and then held Clemson to a 3rd and 4 with around 40 seconds left. Clemson completed a pass for a 1st down and the game was over with Clemson taking a knee in Maryland territory.
Great game.

It is likely his last COFL game of his career unless anyone is dumb enough to take Maryland in a future draft.

i would have suggested not even posting this. Like just keeping it under the radar until what actually happens in the other game, then if the outcome comes out the way that you think it should, then you coulda posted it like an hour later.

gg spn that second onside kick scared me I thought I had it...that took a great bounce and I think I had 3 guys vs your 2 for that one. I though I had a chance. LOL The fumble and kickoff return were the killers. That was a great game.

I thought about doing it that way but had the stats and the game fresh in my mind so I figured I'd write it up now.

But I concede defeat to you if Alabama wins. We both knew what we were playing for and agreed upon it before playing.
