With a commanding 28-10 lead coming out of the half, all Clemson had to do was put this one in the hands of the defense. The offense hadn’t been lighting it up in the rainy conditions throughout the first half, but thanks to a couple of long runs from Travis Etienne and a couple of turnovers the defense forced deep in Pitt territory, the Tigers were able to seize control and never look back.
