The worst from a wild Week 6

Dabo Swinney reacts to Clemson football’s blowout win vs UNC

Clemson football dominated UNC to win 38-10 in Week 6. Tigers coach Dabo Swinney reacted to the win and more postgame.

There was no shortage of candidates for the Week 6 Flop 10 as two preseason Playoff teams went down, and folks are learning Super Bowl rings don’t mean squat on campus.

Here’s some of the lowlights from Week 6 of college football:

Bill Belichick

It opened with a trick play for a Clemson TD and the laughs just kept coming Saturday. Things aren’t going well for Chapel Bill. The Tar Heels trailed Clemson 28-3 at the end of the first quarter, and UNC students had seen enough, heading for the exits — probably to He’s Not Here (I’m wondering how many Heels fans wished that about Sir Hoodie). Clemson scored four touchdowns on its first 16 plays. Maybe hiring your son to run your defense wasn’t the best move… North Carolina lost 38-10 (it wasn’t that close) and is 0-3 vs. Power Four opponents, having been outscored 120-33. On to Cal? More like on to basketball season.

If you thought UNC’s first half was bad, Boston College said, “Hold my beer.” Maybe Bill O’Brien was trying to take some of the stink off his old Patriots boss. The Golden Eagles trailed 31-0 at the break to Pitt, who handed a true freshman QB his first career start. And just look at some of these first half stats:

Yards: Pitt, 331; BC: 69First downs: Pitt, 20; BC: 2Time of possession: Pitt, 21:12; BC: 8:48Rushing yards: BC had negative-9 yards on eight carries.

It finished 48-7. “We did a terrible job,” O’Brien said postgame. “… I did a bad job. Did not have the team ready to play. I take full responsibility for what happened on that field.”

The Eagles are 1-4 and are propping up the ACC standings at 0-3 in league play.
