With superstar quarterback Trevor Lawrence out because of a positive COVID-19 test, the No. 1 Clemson Tigers overcame an 18-point deficit to beat the unranked Boston College Eagles 34-28 at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina, on Saturday.

Freshman D.J. Uiagalelei got the start in place of Lawrence and kept the offense playing at a high level, as he accounted for three touchdowns in the win, while running back Travis Etienne scored twice as well.

Quarterback Phil Jurkovec led the way for Boston College with two touchdown passes and helped the Eagles build a three-score lead in the first half, been they were unable to hang on in the second half.
