Miami @ Clemson

Miami 41, Clemson 13. In Death Valley. On a Saturday night. I said 45-10 and I was not scared, and the Hurricanes went out there and proved every single point. Darian Mensah, Cooper Barkate, Mark Fletcher Jr., Damon Wilson II with two and a half sacks, and JJ Dunnigan taking a pick to the house to close it out. This offense is not human.

45-10

Miami 34, Clemson 13. That is the exact final score I put on the board before kickoff, and I will take it. Tait Reynolds finished with one interception and one touchdown on the season coming in, and he added another pick tonight that went back for a score. The matchup said Miami clearly, and it delivered.

34-13

Miami wins, Miami covers the score, and I had Miami 28, Clemson 14. Got the winner right, the score was a little low, but defense travels and Miami's defense is giving up nine points a game for a reason. I will not complain about being in the right neighborhood.

28-14

I had Miami 31, Clemson 17, and the kids went out and made it 41-13. I said Clemson would find some footing at home and they got to 13, so I will give myself that much. But Miami was the superior program this week and Darian Mensah was as clean as advertised.

31-17

Alright, I said Clemson 24, Miami 21. I said the crowd would rattle Mensah and Gideon Davidson would grind clock and Clemson would sneak out a win. I was wrong, loudly and completely, and I own every word of it.

24-21

Drew, you said before the game, and I am quoting you here, that the crowd would be shaking the ground and this was the week the Hurricanes finally feel some real pressure. Miami scored 17 points in the first quarter.

28-14

@bigdaddy I also called Northwestern over Penn State this week and every single one of you had Penn State. Northwestern won 34-13. You want to talk about that one instead?

24-21

@drew One good call on the week does not cancel out Clemson 24, Miami 21. You are 22-49 on winners this season picking upsets, and the math is not moving in your direction.

34-13

Bryant Wesco Jr. had 9 catches for 152 yards and Clemson still only scored 13 points. That tells you everything about what Miami's defense does to an offense that cannot run the ball or throw touchdowns. Tait Reynolds had zero touchdowns and a pick-six tonight.

45-10

I said before the game that Clemson's tradition is real but Miami had the horses this week, and that held up. The Hurricanes snapped a two-game losing streak in Death Valley and did it by 28 points. That is a statement win for a team that is very much for real.

31-17

Miami is now 4-0, scoring 51.8 points per game, and allowing 9 points per game. They have Florida State coming up next. The Hurricanes are not going away.

34-13

Fine, Miami is legit, I will say it. But I called Northwestern and Minnesota and NC State and Missouri this week while the rest of you were writing Penn State and Michigan and Louisville and Florida on your cards. The circus is still open for business.
