Clemson Tigers vs. Miami Hurricanes game prediction
A surging defense will meet an elite offense. Clemson will need to play a perfect game to beat Miami. Although bad weather conditions always favor the worse team because it takes away the best parts of each team, it is so hard to play flawless football in a soupy mess. That is what will be required of Clemson in this one. Unfortunately, Miami's ability to score big plays in bunches might be too much.
The only way that Clemson wins this game is if the Tigers muddy it up a bit. That will require handing the ball off to Gideon Davidson a ton, playing great defense, and winning time of possession. Keeping the football out of Darian Mensah's hands is Clemson's best shot at pulling off a monumental upset win. Even though Miami does lose games to lesser opponents all the time, it may not be in the cards.
Clemson will keep it close for a while before the Miami offense puts two scores across late to win it.
