It sure sound like it to me. I don't know why you would keep pushing the gas when the engine is screaming upwards of self destruct...do not allow the clutch to slip unless you like to be towed home.

It was, now it's a burned friction disk, checked flywheel and burned pressure plate. But keep at it, you can turn that into a snapped timing belt and grenaded engine in no time.
