A look back at what we learned from Clemson’s 34-7 victory against Boston College on Saturday before the Tigers travel to face Virginia Tech:
It’s not always going to be easy
Clemson was a 33-point favorite over Boston College on Saturday and was expected to roll to a blowout victory over the Eagles. As Dabo Swinney pointed out after Saturday’s game, that’s not how college football works. The two teams were tied entering the fourth quarter before Clemson scored 27 unanswered points in the final period. The Tigers will have plenty of blowout wins this season, but just like last year, there likely will be several games that are close in the fourth quarter as well.
