POSIT: We're going to beat South Carolina and we're going to beat them badly. Having said that....
If you are the Head Coach of the juggernaut Clemson Tigers and know that you have an ACC Championship game the following week against (let's say) a Top 15 UNC/Duke/Pitt squad and, if you win that, a berth in the 2nd ever college football playoffs, what do you do if you jump out to a similar 28-0 lead early in Q2?
Option 1: Replicate what we saw Saturday at Miami, let all 86 (or whatever) players get some playing time, rest the starters, and take a comfortable 42-17 win back home.
Option 2: Scorch the earth, salt the fields, and take their women with a 68-3 obliteration.
What do you do?
