JACKSONVILLE – Clemson takes the belt in another crazy bowl game.
Clemson overcame an 11-point deficit in the second half and scored with just 17 seconds left on the clock to defeat Kentucky 38-35 in the Gator Bowl at EverBank Stadium. After Kentucky scored to take a 35-30 lead with just over two minutes remaining, quarterback Cade Klubnik led the Tigers down the field for the game-winner, going 8-for-8 for 71 yards on the drive.
The Tigers scored 28 points in the fourth quarter, and Swinney said the finish reminded him of another big win.
