Clemson Football: UNC victory reminiscent of Pitt, Syracuse losses in previous years

The Clemson football team came away with an ugly victory over the North Carolina Tar Heels Saturday afternoon in Kenan Stadium.

The Tigers certainly didn’t play up to their potential and allowed North Carolina a shot a winning the game late in the match up.

As a matter of fact, North Carolina was just a two-point conversion away from taking the lead with just a little over a minute to go in the ballgame.

Looking back at the victory, it was certainly reminiscent of a few Clemson football games from previous seasons:

  • 2016: Pittsburgh (43-42 loss)
  • 2017: Syracuse (27-24 loss)
  • 2018: Syracuse (27-23 win)

The Tigers came into those games as heavy favorites.
