October 31, 2020

 

The #1 Clemson Tigers got a big scare at home on Saturday afternoon against unranked Boston College in an ACC football game at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina.

Clemson (7-0), who is without starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence due to a positive coronavirus test, rallied from a 28-10 second quarter deficit to stay unbeaten with a 34-28 win. Freshman QB DJ Uiagalelei went 30-41 passing for 342 yards and two touchdowns, and also added a rushing TD as the Tigers outscored the Eagles 21-0 in the second half. BC is now 4-3. Lawrence is also expected to miss next Saturday nights game at #4 Notre Dame. Clemson has only lost five games since the beginning of the 2015 season (75-5), appearing in four National Championship games and winning two of those (2016, 2018).
