Second-half surge lifts Tigers over Hokies in Blacksburg

BLACKSBURG, VA – Dabo Swinney says nothing is less important than the score at halftime. That turned out to be the case Saturday.

No. 19 Clemson was down 7-0 to Virginia Tech at the half but scored the first 24 points of the second half to win 24-14 at Worsham Field Saturday. With the win, Clemson improves to 7-2 overall and 6-1 in the ACC, while Virginia Tech falls to 5-5 overall and 3-4 in the league.

The victory is the seventh in a row over the Hokies for the Tigers, dating to the 2011 season when the Tigers defeated the Hokies twice.
