The one where he's opening his eyes wide as he looks up into the north stands.

The screen grab, taken from ABC's broadcast of the game, was instantly a point of delightful pride for Clemson fans who viewed it as a look of utter, unmistakable terror.

We've always thought that view to be overblown. It's impossible to know exactly what was going through Kelly's mind at the time; maybe it was nothing more than "Oh crap, look at this rain and I left my hat in the locker room!"

We highly doubt it was: "Oh my God, the fans actually showed up. We're totally screwed."
