Through the years, Clemson and North Carolina have met on the gridiron with a lot riding on the line, especially in the late 1970s and 1980s.
In 1977, with the ACC Championship at stake, the two teams settled for a 13-13 tie. The Tar Heels won the league that year, edging the second place Tigers in the standings.
In 1980, North Carolina defensive end Lawrence Taylor stopped Homer Jordan at the goal line on the last play of the game in Week 9, to preserve a 24-19 Tar Heel victory and an ACC Championship. It is the last time UNC won an ACC Championship in football.
