CHARLOTTE — It was a historic ACC Championship game for the third-ranked Clemson football team as it defeated Virginia by a score of 62-17 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. While the offense put on a show for the Clemson faithful, the defense put together its weakest performance of the season.
It was by no means a bad performance by the defense as they held the Cavaliers to just 17-points in a conference championship matchup, but it was the first time the Tigers defense allowed more than 300 yards in a game this season.
The Clemson defense was put into a position heading into halftime that they haven’t been in all season.
