It didn't take very long for the Hurricanes to see just how overmatched they were.
Clemson took the opening drive of the game and needed a little less than three minutes to march down the field, score its first touchdown of the day and set the tone for a rout and an embarrassment the likes of which Miami hasn't experienced in years — since its last game at the Orange Bowl, actually.
The sixth-ranked Tigers scored 42 points in the first half, totaled 567 yards of offense on the day and their defense thoroughly dominated the Hurricanes, humbling Miami in a 58-0 loss at Sun Life Stadium that marked the biggest loss of Al Golden's five-year tenure at the school.
