Dave Leitao is searching for answers in Charlottesville, and one of his ideas is to give Solomon Tat some more time, with the explanation that he at least plays with passion.

We've been saying for a while now that Oliver Purnell has put Clemson in a different orbit, something the Tigers underscored Wednesday night when they crushed Duke.  Now Clemson gets to deal with the fallout:  everyone is going to make a run at Purnell when firing/hiring season comes.
