Meister der Farbe » an offside penalty by Clemson, so Pagano did i

Hawthorns 2016 premiership campaign is over but their golden era of success wont end with Friday nights semifinal loss to the Western Bulldogs, says Alastair Clarkson.The Hawks were overrun by the Bulldogs in the second half at the MCG, Luke Beveridges side thwarting Hawthorns bid to equal the record of four premierships in a row, set by Jock McHales Collingwood from 1927 to 1930.I know what the papers are going to say ... theyll say that its the end of an era, Clarkson said after the 23-point loss.Theyre too old and too slow but well just have a little bit of a break, reload and get going again.Theyre a proud group and we know weve got some improving to do as a side ... but theyve always been a group that rolls the sleeves up and tries to improve every day.The Hawks looked set to break the game open at 23 points up early in the second quarter but the Dogs clawed that deficit back to just one point at halftime.Then Hawthorn were powerless to stop a run of six goals in the third quarter that set up the Dogs preliminary final clash against Greater Western Sydney.Premiership stars like Luke Hodge, Josh Gibson and Jordan Lewis didnt have their usual influence but Clarkson believes his club - having blooded seven new players this season - wont have to rely so heavily on those veterans to keep his team in premiership calculations in 2017.Clarkson also pointed to the possible return of full-forward Jarryd Roughead from cancer treatment next season as one of several reasons for optimism and added the Hawks would look to improve their list through the trade period period.Young Gold Coast star Jaeger OMeara could prove a huge boost, but Clarkson admitted there was much water to go under the bridge before he arrived at the club - labeling that trade process difficult.Hawthorns vaunted pressure on the ball carrier was still very much on display, but Clarkson felt his players werent rewarded for their efforts that saw them lay 42 more tackles than the Dogs.We laid 104 tackles and got how many free kicks do you reckon for holding the ball? Three, he said.So what can you say to your players? Its not that the endeavour isnt there.Thats where the game has changed a little bit. They want the game to keep moving, so well need to change some things that we do because that is a significant change in the way the game is being umpired.Thats a lot of tackles to lay for bugger all reward isnt it?

One game after a miserable showing in Oklahoma City, Gay tied a career high with 41 points and the Sacramento Kings cruised to a 114-97 victory at the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. BOSTON -- By Tuesday, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney could tell his team needed a break. That victory against Louisville was dramatic and draining, and a long trip on short rest was looming.Swinney eased up a bit on the third-ranked Tigers and they responded with a sharp performance when they easily could have come out flat, beating Boston College 56-10 on Friday night.It was a taxing week, but our guys didnt complain, Swinney said. They just went through the grind. I love that mentality of that team.Deshaun Watson threw for 266 yards and four touchdowns, and the Heisman Trophy hopeful even helped clear the way for Wayne Gallmans 59-yard scoring run with a solid block.Clemson (6-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) extended its conference winning streak to 12 games and its road winning streak to eight, which matches a school record set from 1978-79.Ive been doing this a long time. Theres a reason that records only eight. Its really hard to do, Swinney said, doing his postgame news conference with the big bronze ORourke-McFadden Trophy that goes to the winner of this rivalry sitting on the table next to him.Clemson linebacker Ben Boulware said he planned to spend his rare Saturday off back home in Anderson, South Carolina, chowing down on some food from J.C.s sandwich shop, riding his fathers new dune buggy and watching college football.Im super pumped, he said.The Tigers definitely earned their break.Boston College (3-3, 0-3) lost its 11th consecutive ACC game.Clemson broke three plays of at least 50 yards in the first quarter, two for touchdowns and another that set up a score. Watson picked off a defender on the edge to help spring Gallman for the games first touchdown. Watsons 59-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Leggett made it 21-0 late in the first half. That was all the Tigers needed.Those three plays were costly right there, Boston College coach Steve Addazio said. The last thing I wanted to see us do is give up some big plays.TAKEAWAYClemson: Hard to expect an A-plus effort from the Tigers considering the circumstances, but there was nothing to complain about. Swinney said the team hit a wall in the middle of the week so he cut bback on practice and had the coaches and players catch up on rest.dddddddddddd There was no looking past BC and a trip to the place where Swinney earned his first win as Clemson coach back in 2008.We dont look forward to the next game or (back at) game past, Watson said.There were plenty of Clemson fans in the sellout crowd of 44,500, but not much intensity in Alumni Stadium. Still, the Tigers took care of business and came out of the game relatively healthy.Boston College: The Eagles just cant match-up against this level of opposition. The Eagles have lost their last two ACC games by a combined score 105-10 to Virginia Tech and Clemson.BCs best first-half drive covered 80 yards and got inside the Clemson 1. Twice on fourth-and-goal, quarterback Patrick Towles fumbled the snap because center Jim Cashman, who was playing in place of the injured Jon Baker (ankle), was knocked into the backfield by Tigers tackle Scott Pagano. The first one was wiped out by an offside penalty by Clemson, so Pagano did it again.Baker is Boston Colleges best lineman.One of my fears was losing that guy and that happened, Addazio said.POLL IMPLICATIONSBeating one of the worst teams in the conference isnt going to push Clemson up the polls, but the Tigers did nothing to lose support In the AP Top 25 , which comes out Monday instead of Sunday because of the postponed Georgia-South Carolina game.HOMECOMINGClemson star defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, from Springfield, Massachusetts, had four tackles, two for loss, including a sack, in his first college game in his home state.UP NEXTClemson: The Tigers return home to face North Carolina State on Oct. 15.Boston College: If the Eagles are going to break the ACC losing streak, the next game could be their best opportunity. Boston College hosts Syracuse on Oct. 22 in a matchup of one team that cant play offense (BC) and another that cant play defense (Syracuse).---Follow Ralph D.
