Reactions to Clemson’s massive win over SMU.

Clemson football’s thrilling 34-31 victory over No. 8 SMU in the ACC Championship will go down in history, capped by a dramatic 56-yard field goal from Nolan Hauser as time expired.

The walk-off field goal, marking a first for the ACC Championship, came after SMU had tied the game late with just 16 seconds remaining.
