According to a WV online blogsite, CU players were pleading with WVU players to call off the dogs during the bowl game:
The support for the Tigers had dwindled, and with it, the ACC champion had lost all confidence in itself. Sometimes you can look at a team and see that it has given up, but according to players on WVU's defense, Clemson took it one step further.
"There was like linemen out there talking about, ‘Good job, man, stop going so hard. Y'all got it.' I was like, all right," says senior cornerback Keith Tandy. "I never heard anything like that and they just made us want to go harder and keep making plays."
To hear the opposition so readily drop its sword and ask for mercy is not what Tandy and his teammates could have expected to hear coming into a BCS bowl game.
