Instant Analysis: Tigers hold on behind defense and crowd

CLEMSON – The Tigers’ defense came to play, and Clemson fans showed up, showed out, and made a difference.

Backed up on their own 11-yard line, Clemson’s defense did what they’ve done time and time again this season – got a stop when it mattered most. With the Clemson faithful roaring, the Boston College center snapped the ball wide of Eagles’ quarterback Dennis Grosel, and K.J. Henry fell on the football to ensure a 19-13 win.

Clemson improves to 3-2 overall and 2-1 in the ACC, while Boston College falls to 4-1 and 0-1.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME: Kobe Pace made the most of his opportunities and scored Clemson’s only touchdown of the game – a 59-yard run down the sideline on the second drive of the game.
