CLEMSON, S.C. — On an afternoon that nearly spelled disaster for other teams lingering in the College Football Playoff conversation, Clemson didn’t miss a beat.
Quarterback DJ Uiagalelei had three total touchdowns and 316 total yards and running back Will Shipley added 99 all-purpose yards and a score as the No. 9 Tigers blew out Miami, 40-10, Saturday in Memorial Stadium.
Clemson’s defense also limited the Hurricanes to 98 total yards and registered an interception, a fumble recovery, a safety and a fourth-down stop as the Tigers moved to 9-1 and 8-0 in the ACC heading into next weekend’s regular-season finale against rival South Carolina.
