Eagles stunning top-ranked Clemson at halftime

Top-ranked Clemson appears to be in trouble as it heads to halftime against Boston College today.

Led by quarterback Phil Jurkovec, the Eagles have stunned the Tigers with a 28-13 lead at halftime. BC also got a game-changing 97-yard fumble return from cornerback Brandon Sebastian in the second quarter.

Jurkovec completed 8-of-12 passes for 161 yards and two touchdowns in the first half.

Clemson of course is without starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence after he tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday. But his backup, freshman D.J. Uiagalelei, played well. Uiagalelei threw for xxx yards while completing 19-of-26 passes for 222 yards, including a 35-yard touchdown pass to running back Travis Etienne on the Tigers’ first drive of the game.
