Penalties plague the Tigers in the first quarter

The media has been talking about Clemson's game against Virginia being a trap game, and it looks like they might've been right through the first quarter. They're all tied up 3-3.

The Tigers are playing sloppy football. They've committed four penalties for 27 yards that overturned a Clemson touchdown and extended Virginia's drive.

The Cavs quarterback, Anthony Colandrea, has been a nuisance on the ground, gaining 16 yards on two rushes. Last week, he showed his running capabilities against Louisville. Stopping him was one of RTR's keys to the game, and now we see why. Colandrea can break it loose at any time.

To keep Virginia out of the game, Clemson will have to clean up the penalties and respect Colandrea. The Cavs are dangerous, and if they have a chance late, Clemson could be fighting for its ACC championship hopes.
