Review: WEST VIRGINIA 70 Clemson 33 X
Field goals get you beat, especially when you're swapping field goals for touchdowns. And when the other team is converting your turnovers into touchdowns, you've got a mountain to climb. Too bad it wasn't the Mountaineers attempting the comeback. Clemson had a lead heading into the second quarter, but when you give up five touchdowns in a quarter, it's hard to fight back. In that explosive second quarter, one of the biggest momentum swings was a 99-yard fumble recovery by Mountaineers safety Darwin Cook on what seemed to be an Andre Ellington Tigers touchdown. That in itself was a 14 point swing and seemed to be a game changer. West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith tied the bowl record for touchdown passes with six, and wide receiver, Tavon Austin, also tied the bowl record for most touchdown receptions with four. The team as a unit set the bowl scoring record with 70 points, which had just been set six night's ago in the Alamo Bowl by Baylor with 67 points.
