down. In my opinion, the most important thing he did was to manage the offense. Shifting the sets, late breaks from the huddle, tempo, etc... That is what he did best last night and I think that was important to keep Clemson off balance. But he also barely completed 50% of his passes for 85 yards and had a bunch knocked down. He was 1/6 throwing on 3rd down and didn't throw for a 3rd down conversion all game. Both Diggs and Estime ran for more yards than Pyne threw for. He was not asked to do much because he wasn't capable of doing much.
So, I'm sure there is a good reason he got the game ball. And good for him, he takes a lot of crap. But for anyone to claim he got that game ball for his stellar play because he's playing amazing is nothing short of ridiculous.
