#10 Clemson Tigers vs Maryland Terrapins.
In a battle of two former unbeaten ACC teams the the Tigers butted heads with Terrapins Saturday night. It was clear in the beginning though that Maryland wouldn’t go down without a fight. On Clemson’s first drive of the game Boyd fumbled and had it returned 48 yards for the TD. This was the beginning of a very long afternoon for Boyd as he ended up with 5 turnovers……3 of which were returned for scores. With a little under a minute to go in the 1st half the Tigers began a drive to try and pull them within striking distance but a Boyd interception led to a halftime score of 28-7. The Terrapins never let up from there as it seemed like whenever the Tigers would draw close Maryland would be there to answer. The final score was 55-39 and Clemson dropped back to back games for the first time in almost 2 seasons. Maryland picks up the victory and the ACC Atlantic race ends up even crazier with Clemson, FSU, and Maryland all vying for the division lead. The Tigers get Virginia next week in a game they must win to keep their BCS hopes alive.
