Duds

Three blocked field goals

The biggest dud of the game had to be the three blocked field goals, especially the 61-yard attempt right before the half that saw Miami block it and take the ball all the way back for a touchdown.

Lawrence’s fumble

You can’t really find many flaws in Trevor Lawrence’s game, but that one fumble was disappointing. It was just one of those plays and it had no impact on the game, but it was still a low-point for Clemson football.

Tigers kept Miami in it a little longer than we would’ve liked

Clemson could’ve won the game by 40 points if it had wanted to. There were several times in the first half where the Tigers had a chance to put the game away and just made a mistake or couldn’t make a play to break it open. Fortunately, they did just that in the third quarter.

Next. Tigers showed why culture matters against Miami. dark

The Clemson football team will be back in action this Saturday in a road matchup with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets down in Atlanta.
