CHESTNUT HILL, Massachusetts – Boston College had some early success against Clemson’s defense, but once defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin made the necessary adjustments, the Eagles were harassed and harried on the way to just three points.
The Tigers defeated Boston College 31-3 Saturday night in Alumni Stadium, and the three points allowed were Clemson’s fewest of the season and its fewest since a 30-0 shutout of South Carolina last November. It was the fewest points allowed by Clemson to an ACC opponent since a 52-3 win against Wake Forest in 2019.
The three points were Clemson’s fewest surrendered to Boston College since shutting out the Eagles, 13-0, in 1952 at Braves Field.
