Too many mistakes, but Tigers come away with a gutsy win

CHAPEL HILL, NC – Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney says that North Carolina outplayed the Tigers Saturday afternoon in Kenan Stadium, but a gutsy performance allowed his team to walk away with a win.

Clemson stopped a 2-point conversion with 1:17 remaining to help Clemson hold on in a 21-20 victory to improve to 5-0 on the season.

“First of all, I am unbelievably proud of our guys for finding a way to win. That’s what it’s all about,” Swinney said. “We obviously made enough mistakes to lose the game. I’d probably say they probably outplayed us.
