Instead on 2nd and 9 the Clemson running back was hit behind the line of scrimmage and as he spun and tried to break tackles, he ran back and was partialy drove back 15 yards to the Clemson 1. After a 3rd down incompletion, the Colorado Defense tackled the Clemson punter on 4th down to take a 30-28 win and punch their ticket to the playoffs.

Clemson must now wait for the Pittsburgh/Texas A&M game to learn their fate. If Texas A&M can pull of a second Miracle, they will be in the playoffs. If not Clemson will be in.
