The Clemson defense made the plays when it needed to on Saturday night inside of Death as the Tigers held on to a 19-13 win over Boston College. No play was bigger than KJ Henry’s fumble recovery inside of Clemson’s own 20-yard line with less than a minute remaining and the game on the line.
The defense got a stop with just over two minutes remaining and gave the ball to the offense with the ability to ice the game with a first down. A sack on quarterback DJ Uiagalelei on third down with just under two minutes remaining instead meant the defense needed to go back out and get one final stop to win the game.
