The Miami Hurricanes and rainfall from Hurricane Delta both hit Clemson on Saturday night, but neither was as strong as expected. Clemson’s 42-17 victory over Miami was even worse than the score indicates.
On a night where No. 2 Alabama struggled with Ole Miss, No. 3 Florida lost to Texas A&M, and No. 4 Georgia trailed Tennessee at halftime, the Tigers tightened their stranglehold on the No. 1 ranking. As always, I delve into several statistics from the game and the broader storylines they point toward.
Trevor Lawrence was superb once again. He now has 10 passing TDs and four rushing TDs without an interception (though he did lose a fumble against Miami).
