Tigers complete largest comeback ever at Death Valley

With 264 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, running back Travis Etienne rallied No. 1 ranked Clemson from an 18-point deficit to beat Boston College, 34-28, at Death Valley on Saturday.

The 18-point rally for victory was Clemson’s largest come-from-behind win in Death Valley history. In 1966, the Tigers rallied for a 40-35 victory over Virginia after trailing 35-18 heading into the fourth quarter.

Clemson trailed the Eagles (4-3, 3-3 ACC) 28-10 following a Phil Jurkovec 18-yard pass to wide receiver C.J. Lewis with 1:02 to play before halftime. The Tigers proceed to score the final 31 points to win the game.
