Clemson Grinds Out 14-6 Win vs. Auburn Behind 11 Sacks, Kelly Bryant's 2 TDs

An overwhelming defensive performance and the legs of quarterback Kelly Bryant powered No. 3 Clemson to a 14-6 home win over No. 13 Auburn on Saturday night in Clemson, South Carolina. Clemson's defense racked up a staggering 11 sacks, harassing Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham all game and holding him to just 79 yards passing.

It felt like just about everyone in Death Valley was getting a shot at Stidham, per ESPN's Mark Schlabach:
