CLEMSON, S.C. -- South Carolina State?coach Buddy Pough, after falling behind 45-0 at halftime, had enough, agreeing with Clemson?coach Dabo Swinney to shorten the second half of Saturdays game by six minutes.Instead of 15-minute quarters, the teams agreed to reduce the second half to two 12-minute quarters. The No. 5 Tigers (3-0) tacked on two more touchdowns en route to a 59-0 triumph.An NCAA rule allows for games to be shortened by time if the coaches agree.The refs came over to me right before the half and asked if Id be OK with shortening up the game if South Carolina State was, Swinney said after the game. I said itd be fine with me. They came over again before the start of the third quarter and asked if Id be OK with 12 minute quarters. It was fine with me.Earlier this week, Poughs expectations for his team were abundantly clear.We want them to just kind of come out and just kind of go on through the motions and get on out of there, which would probably be the best-case scenario for us, Pough told The State newspaper.The Bulldogs (0-3) also received $300,000 from Clemson.The abridged half isnt without precedent, as Boston College and Howard did the same as recently as last year. In 2012, Florida State and Savannah State played with a running clock in the second half.For Clemson, however, its a nice bonus. The Tigers have a short week prior to Thursdays conference showdown against Georgia Tech.The Tigers rested the bulk of their starters in the second half after Deshaun Watson?& Co. had no troubles running up a big lead early.Watson finished 12-of-15 passing for 152 yards and three touchdowns, and Clemsons 45 first-half points were just four shy of its total from the first two games.

Despite the cost, effort and an improved steroid test, its possible that very few -- if any -- positives will be detected, Dr. Richard Budgett told The Associated Press in an interview. "We just dont know what the results from Torino will be," Budgett said. Despite a relatively small $20,000 prize pool, plenty of fireworks erupted at the Call of Duty World League: PSX Invitational at the Anaheim Convention Center last weekend.Dubbed the official start of the Call of Duty World League, eight teams battled it out across two days to determine who would be crowned the PSX Invitational champions.FaZe Clan was able to go undefeated throughout the event, finishing off Orbit 3-1 in the best-of-five grand final to claim first place, but it wasnt without drama. Lets take a look at how the action unfolded.A rivalry bornIncendiary Twitter remarks. Premature body shots. Choke hand signals. Brash clan tag references. The grand final had all the makings of a big league fight as FaZes James Clayster Eubanks and Orbits Rhys Rated Price appeared to ignite a rivalry that could develop into one of the biggest storylines of the year.Despite getting shut out against FaZe Clan in their Day 1 matchup, Rated was one of Europeans loudest members during their grand-final battle, calling out Clayster during the opening portions of the series with a handful of borderline tactics. That only seemed to motivate FaZes in-game leader, as Clayster responded with a demonstrative performance both on and off the virtual battlegrounds. Rated couldnt match the same level of energy, most notably posting a dismal 11/28 kill-death ratio in Round 3 Uplink as FaZe would manage to win the series in four games. After the match, the bad blood seemed to carry over, as Rated seemingly refused to shake Claysters hand, then turned to Twitter to flame the fans of the rivalry even more.With multiple international tournaments lined up for the 2017 season, this feud already has the makings to be one of the juicer sagas of the year.New faces, new placesWhile PSX Invitational did not showcase Team EnVyUs or OpTic Gaming, two of the top competitive Call of Duty teams in the world, the lack of star power allowed for a handful of new teams to impress.European team, Orbit, certainly made a positive impression -- grand finals aside -- throughout the weekend, and the same could be said for Rise Nation, who made it all the way to the semifinal game before losing to the eventual winners, FaZe Clan.dddddddddddd Rise, who acquired three players from Team eLevate earlier in the offseason, had their fair share of ups-and-downs early on, but flexed their muscles when it mattered most. Ulysses Aqua Silva in particular was impressive, most notably posting an unreal 10/0 KD in a win-or-go-home Round 5 Search and Destroy against his former team. In 17 rounds played, the former Team EnVyUs and eLevate star posted a 1.11 KD, good for the sixth-best mark at the tournament. Its way to early to begin making any bold predictions, but at least for one tournament Rise Nation looked to be one of the better teams in North America.Evil Geniuses on the other hand struggled mightily to start the new campaign. Arguably one of the most exciting rosters to form during the offseason, the team comprised of Anthony NAMELESS Wheeler, Jeremy StuDyy Astacio, Jared Nagafen Harrell and Colt Havok McLendon drastically underperformed as they were unable to advance past the first day. Despite sporting a handful of the best hybrid players in the world, Evil Geniuses failed to win even a single Search and Destroy round between their two series, a ghastly number considering the talent on the roster. Havok certainly didnt live up to his name, as the often deadly slayer posted a tournament-worst 0.80 KD. Given the fact that StuDyy, Nagafen and Havok played similar roles on their previous teams during Call of Duty: Black Ops III, it seems likely that this group just needs time to iron out their respective roles. Theyll need to do so in a hurry, however, as the next Call of Duty World League event, MLG Las Vegas, kicks off Dec. 16. ' ' '
