Clemson improved to 10-1 (8-0 ACC) Saturday as Dabo Swinney’s team walked away from Death Valley with a 40-10 win over Mario Cristobal and the Miami Hurricanes.
It was a good win for the Tigers though it wasn’t a complete performance from the team. While the offense played possibly their best football of the season in the first half, the second half was a different story, with the group struggling in the third quarter. Luckily for No.9 Clemson, the defense came to play.
Even with the second-half offensive struggles, it was another solid win for Swinney and the Tigers as they extended their home win streak 40 games while winning their 12th straight ten-win season. It was a good night for the Tigers in Death Valley.
Here are five takeaways I believe to be some of the most important from Clemson’s Week 12 win over Miami.
