After a week of hearing how great Miami was and “The U” was back, Clemson left no doubt Saturday night on who the top team in the country is right now.
The top-ranked Tigers smothered Miami quarterback D’Eriq King all night, while Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne made a strong case as the top two candidates for the Heisman Trophy in a 42-17 victory that was not even that close.
Clemson (4-0, 3-0 ACC) racked up 550 total yards, while holding the Hurricanes to 210 yards overall. Miami came into the game leading the ACC with 499 yards and 43 points per game.
