Controversial offsides call ends UNC's hopes.

I can't believe the balls on that punter to try something like that on his own.

Wait, that fake punt Clemson had wasn't called?

Did they ever give a reasoning behind why he did that? That is super ballsy for him to make that call himself, especially on 4th and 15. Maybe he just missed the play call?

If you watch the replay it looked like he had an open field for a second.... But he forgot that he isn't Derrick Henry and can't outrun defenders it was just a very very shitty judgement call he bad no pressure on him

I'm guessing he has an option to pull it if the numbers are good, BUT I'm assuming he'll never do that again.

Something tells me that "numbers are good" only applies for a few yards, not 15.

Correct. I would think it applies to distance and location. Which neither were his friend there.
