A Comeback For the Ages: Swinney says his team showed heart and character in win

CLEMSON – Hysterical frustration to historical comeback.

Following the replay officials’ review that confirmed a late first-half Boston College touchdown, the outlook for No. 1 Clemson was bleak. When the call was relayed over the loudspeaker system, many fans threw up their hands in disbelief.

At that point, the Tigers were down 28-10 with just over a minute remaining in the half. Three defensive starters were missing – middle linebacker James Skalski, outside linebacker Mike Jones, and defensive tackle Tyler Davis. Several other defensive players have been nicked up. Reserve cornerback Fred Davis was out.
