FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Cordrea Tankersley still has a hard time understanding how he made the play.
On the first possession of the second half in the ACC Championship, North Carolina was in the midst of a go-ahead touchdown drive and moving the ball with ease.
Along with a 25-yard completion to Mack Hollins, runs of 19 and 16 yards by Marquise Williams and Elijah Hood helped push the ball deep into the red zone.
Clemson was up 21-16 when Tankersley picked off Williams’ pass to Quinshad Davis about five yards in front of the Tigers’ goal line.
