TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Dabo Swinney ran toward the tunnel after Clemson took yet another game down to the heart-stopping last second -- this time against rival Florida State. His shirt was drenched in sweat, but his smile, well, his smile said everything. He beamed while he high-fived fans and screamed, How about that win!Swinney finally beat Florida State 37-34?in Doak Campbell Stadium, an accomplishment that had eluded the Clemson coach his entire career. But more than that, his undefeated team survived on the road Saturday night to stay right in the College Football Playoff hunt. Was it perfect? No. Did it have to be? No. For the fifth time this season, Clemson found a way to make one more play in another close game.Theres got to be something more to it than just: Well, they got lucky, Swinney said. Thats your heart. Thats your guts. Thats your toughness. Its your whole culture of your program. Thats what it takes to win those type of games. Its a belief. Its just an undeniable will to win, and its special to be a part of.Undoubtedly, Clemson went through its schedule a season ago without as many close calls. But these Tigers have embraced the close calls, thriving at a time when most others stopped believing. But the mind-set makes sense, considering how much Clemson has used being counted out as motivation.The mantra last season? Well, nobody believed in Clemson. Though the Tigers have been favored in every game but one this year, they are still trying to find ways to make everybody else believe in them. It sure would be easier to give themselves some breathing room. But in a way, maybe Clemson doesnt want to.Its a strange bit of reverse psychology, but Clemson clearly relishes the moments when it needs to make a play to win.I dont know what to say other than this group just believes theyre going to win, Swinney said. I never thought wed lose, but, boy, we make it hard sometimes. Theres just something to be said about it. They love each other, they care about each other. They just believe somebodys going to make a play.In a wild fourth quarter that featured three lead changes, Clemson got the ball with 3:23 left, trailing 34-29. Offensive players looked at each other in the huddle. Deshaun Watson took the lead, but they all told each other, Lets be special. Lets do this. This is us.Two years ago, Clemson lost a devastating overtime game in Tallahassee that it probably should have won. Running back Wayne Gallman remembered the scene in the locker room afterward: players crying, crushed at the loss.Watson refused to let that scene play out again. With steadiness and poise, he delivered a 25-yard pass to Jordan Leggett on first down. Four plays later, he found Leggett again for a 34-yard touchdown pass and the lead.Just a great play call. Weve seen it all game. We came back to it in one of our play calls and knew it was going to work against this defense. We called it at the right time. We executed it and hit it, and the players made big-time plays in big-time moments. Thats what were about. Everyone kept believing and having faith.But Watson was not done, delivering the crucial two-point conversion pass to Mike Williams to give the Tigers a three-point lead.The defense took over and put the pressure on Florida State QB Deondre Francois. The game ended with back-to-back sacks and too many hold-your-breath moments to count.But the outcome could have easily been different. Watson threw two interceptions that Florida State converted into 14 points, and the Tigers allowed too many big runs from Dalvin Cook.Watson called his interceptions bonehead decisions that I shouldnt have made.I tried to be greedy and tried to force throws, but its something else to learn from.Going back to the season opener against Auburn, Clemson has won five games by a touchdown or less. The Tigers have been taking heat all season for being in close games, because the natural expectation was for them to pick up where they left off last season and start rolling all over again.But this is a new team with new players and the ability to survive when it feels like they should not. Whether they can keep living on the edge and continue to win remains to be seen. But with only four undefeated Power 5 teams left, it might not matter how close Clemson plays its games.If it wins -- whether by 1 point or 30 points -- then it makes the College Football Playoff as an unbeaten Power 5 champion. Swinney and his players know it, too.At the end of the day its about getting the W no matter what the scoreboard says, Watson said. Chuck Howley Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Tony Romo Youth Jersey . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Darren-Woodson-Jersey/ . Mats Zuccarello and Derek Stepan scored shootout goals, and backup goalie Cam Talbot earned his second win in two nights as the Rangers shook off a late tying tally and beat the Maple Leafs 2-1 Monday night. Bob Lilly Cowboys Jersey . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. Deion Sanders Womens Jersey . "We have always prided ourselves on the way we play defence. Having two big pieces back is going to be a key for us moving forward for years to come," said Knighthawks head coach Mike Hasen. CHARLOTTE -- The Charlotte Hornets wont have too much time to dwell on giving up a 13-point lead to the New York Knicks, only to lose 113-111 in overtime on Friday in New York.The two teams will go at it again on Saturday in Charlotte.The Hornets have lost in overtime in two of their last four games.Forward Carmelo Anthony sank a jumper with three seconds left in overtime to lift the Knicks (8-7) to their third straight win and sixth straight at Madison Square Garden. It was the 18th time in his career that Anthony delivered a game-winning shot.He (Anthony) is going to get a good shot up, said Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek. Hes got the experience and the size.He makes big shots. Its a luxury to have. He was fantastic tonight.The nine-time All-Star poured in a season-high 35 points and 14 rebounds for his first double-double of the season. Kristaps Porzingis and Derrick Rose scored 16 points each for the Knicks.Anthony had a chance to win it for the Knicks in regulation, but his fade away jumper was off.When I missed that one, I had a good look at it, Anthony said. I felt like I could get that same look again off of a different move rather than facing up, put the defender on my back and make him make a decision after that.Marco Belinelli led Charlotte (8-7), losers of four straight, with 19 points. Nicolas Batum just missed out on a triple-double, tallying 18 points, nine rebounds and a team-high nine assists and Kemba Walker scored 17 points, including the play that sent the game into overtime.dddddddddddd.Over his last four games, Belinelli is averaging 16.8 points while hitting 15-of-24 from beyond the arc (62.5 percent).The Hornets surrendered a 70-57 in the third quarter. New York responded with a 22-4 run to take a 79-74 lead going into the fourth. Anthony accumulated 11 points in the quarter.The biggest difference was that stretch in the third quarter, said Hornets coach Steve Clifford. We played a good first half. We played a good fourth quarter. (Derrick) Rose made a big shot (to take a three-point lead at the end of regulation) and (Carmelo) Anthony made three contested shots.The one time we doubled (him), he found (Kristaps) Porzingis for three. It really came down to that. Guys making plays and their guys made plays.If were not more physical its not going to work out for us. Were going to have to have everyone fighting for the ball.Center Cody Zeller returned from a three-game absence, finishing with 15 points, six rebounds and two assists for the Hornets and forward Frank Kaminsky added 13 points and nine rebounds in 40 min
