Game Recap

No. 18 Clemson beats No. 8 SMU 34-31 on last-second field goal for ACC title, berth in the CFP. Cade Klubnik sat in his car for more than hour last Saturday crying following Clemson's loss to rival South Carolina, figuring his team's chances of reaching the College Football Playoff were over.
