Absolutely a MORON. Defenitely didn't want a cover. NObody punts down 20 at the 40 with 3 minutes left. Hes a scumbag. Once again obvious moves makes one wonder why he did that?? Was he afraid of losing by 27,lol, yeah right. Hell personally I thought Virginia jumped offsides on that punt anyway. Bowden-:finger:
Clemsons Defense was like two different units in the first half and the second half. Did Groh make that many adjustments or was it in the cards according to Bowden not to cover. No passes down field at all. WTF, lets keep trying to gain 3 yards per play. What about that pass interference in the endzone, come on that was a bullshit call IMO. They would've kicked the FG cause it would've been 4th down and they would've covered. Refs helped them cover and Bowden sealed the deal.
I don't think it was fixed at all...very strange call though, this is two straight games I have watched Clemson literally give up and punt on 4th down when the other team would have just ran it if they got it back...
My only guess with Bowden's reasoning is he doesn't want to risk injury of any key players... I was thinking he may punt because in the back of my mind I remembered the FSU game when he punted, but when they got so close I was shocked when I saw the offense leave...
Its a tough one when your getting 15-16 and your up 10-3 after one and get killed from then on...

I very rarely ever believe in the fix, unless it's boxing. But this game kinda struck me as strange. I'm talking about the line Virginia being more than a two touchdown favorite. I would have thought maybe 10 or 11 points---so I left it alone.
I thought Va would win and probably easily--but the number just hit me as wrong!

THE SHRINK said:
I respectfully DISAGREE...3 TD's would have won the game for them. They were 60 yds away (1 play) away from TD #1. It is a real long shot, but definitely POSSIBLE they could have done two onside kicks and scores in the the last 3 minutes (see COLTS last year on MNF).
There is no doubt in my mind Bowden either 1) quit or 2) threw the game.
Anyone in the S.C. area reading anything in the press about Bowden explaining his actions? True, it would have been a million to one shot they could have won the game (or a 50/50 chance they could have backdoored for their backers, including the Clemson alums and boosters), but why give up that chance without trying?
