The last time Clemson and their legions of fans swarmed in to Alumni Stadium, BC nearly pulled off the upset. The Eagles trailed 17-13 and drove down the field in the final minutes, but a potential game-winning pass from Tyler Murphy went through Josh Bordner’s hands, ending BC’s hopes.
That was then. BC was 4-2 and not far removed from a win over USC, and they were en route to their second straight bowl game. Clemson was #24.
This is now: BC is still mired in a long ACC losing streak, and Clemson will enter as #3 in the country.
