Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson scored five touchdowns, three through the air and two on the ground, and tight end Jordan Leggett caught two touchdown passes as #3 Clemson outlasted #23 Virginia Tech 42-35 in the ACC Championship game on Saturday night.
For Clemson, the victory seals a spot in the College Football Playoff that will begin at the end of the month, following a turbulent final month that saw the Tigers lose a home game to Pittsburgh before getting all it could handle from a feisty Virginia Tech team that just wouldn’t go away in the conference championship game.
