CLEMSON – After an embarrassing loss at Notre Dame, Clemson’s defense needed a reset. Instead, they changed their mindset, and it has shown in the last two weeks against Louisville and Miami.
In the Tigers’ 40-10 win over Miami Saturday night, Clemson’s defense held the Canes to just 98 total yards – 68 through the air and 30 on the ground. It was the third-lowest single-game total in Miami history, trailing the Hurricanes’ 22-yard performance against Kentucky in 1951 and their 87-yard effort against Notre Dame in 1965.
The 98 yards were Clemson’s fewest allowed since holding South Carolina State to 44 yards in 2014.
