Snaps II: Clemson continues its aerial assault at FSU's expense
• No. 21 Clemson 35, No. 11 Florida State 30: After posting gaudy numbers during the first three weeks of the season, redshirt sophomore quarterback Tajh Boyd was supposed to look human against a rabid Florida State defense. Well ... maybe next week.
Boyd continued his 2011 aerial assault, passing for 344 yards and three scores and adding a rushing touchdown for good measure. And despite a fine effort from Florida State freshman quarterback Clint Trickett (who was filling in for the injured E.J. Manuel), Clemson (4-0) held on for a marquee win in front of a raucous Death Valley crowd.
Boyd again leaned heavily on his favorite target, freshman sensation Sammy Watkins. The crown jewel of Dabo Swinney's 2011 recruiting class is quickly establishing himself as one of the nation's most explosive youngsters. Watkins burned the Seminoles for touchdowns of 24 and 62 yards, finishing with eight catches for 141 yards one week after running circles around the Auburn secondary in a 10-catch, 155-yard, two-score performance. Maybe Dabo was on to something in the preseason when he said he'd never seen a freshman like him .
FOX News Radio claims "Christian" public school teachers are "under attack" in ...
The prayer warning came just days after a group of football coaches at Westmoreland Middle were reprimanded after they joined their players for a student-led post-game prayer in the end zone.
The coaches were summoned to the principal’s office after someone witnessed the coaches bowing their heads – and notified school authorities.
“The idea that a coach or teacher cannot bow their head out of respect for student-led prayer is, quite frankly, ridiculous,” Landrith wrote.
However, an attorney for the school district told Fox News Radio there is not a ban on teachers or coaches bowing their heads.
“They were not told to not bow their heads,” David French, an attorney with the American Center for Law and Justice. “They were reminded that student-led events must remain student-led. Teachers cannot give the appearance of endorsing the student’s message.”
The school’s new policy prohibits staff members from engaging in “any conduct that creates an appearance of endorsement of the organization’s or club’s messages or ideas.
