Clemson was clinging to a tenuous 17-10 lead over Georgia Tech when they got the ball with 4:32 remaining in the third quarter. To that point, the offense was still mired in the struggles of 2021. After the first two plays of the drive, they were on the verge of a three-and-out. On third-down, freshman right tackle Blake Miller got beat around the edge forcing QB DJ Uiagalelei up in the pocket. Then the pressure came up the middle. Uiagalelei was being spun and pulled to the ground when he spotted Will Shipley in the backfield and tossed him the ball.
