Virginia hoping to eliminate Clemson’s explosive plays this time around

When top-ranked Clemson hosts Virginia Saturday at Death Valley, the Cavaliers are going to be anxious to put on a better showing against the Tigers than they did the last time the two met.

Of course, the last meeting was in the 2019 ACC Championship Game, a game in which Clemson got an ACC Championship Game record four touchdown passes from Trevor Lawrence as he threw for 302 yards on 16-of-22 passing with no interceptions.

The end result was a 62-17 Clemson victory.

“Clemson’s really explosive [and] dynamic on the perimeter,” Virginia head coach Bronco Mendenhall said to the media, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
