UNT scores, gives up late TD before half (Tigers lead 21-7)

I dropped off for quite a while with more wireless issues...pretty bad here. Lance Dunbar is pretty much carrying UNT's offense right now, but Nathan Tune threw a 13-yard touchdown to Darius Carey late in the second quarter to pull UNT within 14-7. Jamaal Jackson's nice open-field running on a catch before that gained 45 yards and set up the score.

Clemson had gone up 14-0 while I was blacked out. I guess I stand corrected after Parker found Brandon Clear for a 70-yard TD -- a one-play scoring drive. Will Atterberry had another nice punt to pin Clemson, but UNT's Greg Brown just looked awful on a weak attempt to stop Clemson's punt returner at the 11-yard line. Like I said, after a 19-yard return, Parker just needed the one play.

Clemson made it 21-7, basically on three Parker completions, the last one for an 8-yard score by Jamie Harper. He broke two UNT tackles on the play. UNT defense really did what it could in the first half but is wearing down.

UNT drove into Clemson territory again to end the half, but Tune was sacked for a loss of 7. Not sure how many of those today, but it's probably four or five. Stats soon. Will try to stay with you.
