CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Clemson’s offense did not play its best against No. 17 Boston College Saturday, but it made the necessary plays it had to during its 27-7 victory at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Mass.
“It was just a tough hard-fought game, but we knew it would be coming up here,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said afterward.
The second-ranked Tigers got their necessary plays from the usual suspects on Saturday … quarterback Trevor Lawrence, running back Travis Etienne and wide receivers Hunter Renfrow, Amari Rodgers and Tee Higgins.
Lawrence completed 29-of-40 passes for 295 yards and one touchdown, while Etienne led all runners with 78 yards on just 11 carries.
