No. 9 Clemson tops Miami 40-10 for 40th straight at home

CLEMSON, S.C. -- , DJ Uiagalelei understood entering the season there'd be plenty of doubters ready to count out Clemson getting back on top in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Instead, the ninth-ranked Tigers finished off a perfect regular-season conference run with a 40-10 victory over Miami on Saturday. “I think it shows testament to the guys in the program, sticking with it, staying true to ourselves,” Uiagalelei said. “Just coming out each and every game putting in the work and know it'll come out.” Uiagalelei threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third while Clemson's defense limited Miami to 98 yards, its fewest this season. With just “98 total yards-- in modern day football-- that’s hard to do,” Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said.
