CHARLOTTE — SMU QB Kevin Jennings won’t be forgetting last year’s ACC Championship Game anytime soon.
With his Mustangs team trailing Clemson 24-7 at halftime, things looked rather bleak. However, Jennings rallied SMU, leading the Mustangs to 24 second-half points to tie the game at 31-31 with just 16 seconds remaining.
With the game looking like it was heading for an overtime period, what happened next was almost unthinkable. Adam Randall returned the ensuing kickoff 41 yards, setting Cade Klubnik and the Tigers’ offense up at its own 45-yard line. Klubnik then connected with Antonio Williams for a 17-yard reception that put the ball at the SMU 38 with just three seconds left on the clock.
