I have to wonder how much football some of you folks have watched. I wasn't surprised to see Lawrence in the first series out of halftime - it's pretty standard to come out of halftime and play a series with the starters and then put the backups in. Just like it's pretty standard to go for it on 4th down rather than kicking field goals in a rout. (Also note that "route" is different from "rout.")
Maybe there were a few things that Clemson did that weren't normal "don't try too hard to score" plays (going for it on 4th in a punting situation, running deep passing plays), but I just didn't see much from them that left me shocked and appalled. I was more horrified (but strangely fascinated to be watching a once (?) in a lifetime beating) at watching our team play ourselves into another historic loss.
