#3 Clemson Tigers vs. Boston College Eagles
Everybody knows about Boyd and Hopkins. The Superstar QB and the playmaking wideout but many forget about the guy who makes it all go. None other than Clemson Running Back Roderick McDowell who scored 4 times in the Tigers rout of the Eagles. A big mantra of Clemson’s Head Coach Dabo Swinney this year is” Run to set up the pass” and McDowell showed just why it was so effective. Early on the game was tightly contested and the Eagles even managed to hit halftime with a 24-17 lead. But McDowell scored 3 times in the second half including a defiant 12 yard run up the gut that put the game away 45-27. Clemson dropped back to #5 in the polls despite the win and will host #11 Florida State next week in a matchup with very big ACC Atlantic complications.
