Tigers show toughness in win over BC

Second-ranked Clemson defeated No. 17 Boston College, 27-7, on Saturday night at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Mass. The Tigers improved to 10-0 (7-0 ACC), while the Eagles fell to 7-3 (4-2).

Here’s a look back at Clemson’s win over BC:

Clemson took a 3-0 lead less than three minutes into the game on a 30-yard field goal from Greg Huegel that capped a seven-play, 59-yard opening drive. Boston College then scored the first touchdown of the game on a 74-yard punt return by Michael Walker at the 6:22 mark of the first quarter. But the Tigers responded and retook the lead on their next possession, marching on a nine-play, 70-yard drive that resulted in a 2-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to Milan Richard and gave Clemson a 10-7 advantage with 1:28 left in the first quarter.
