CLEMSON POWERS PAST NO. 7 MIAMI, 42- 17

CLEMSON, S. C. » Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdowns passes and ran for another and Clemson proved once more who’s boss in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Travis Etienne rushed for 149 yards and two scores, including a 72- yard burst down the left sidelines as the Tigers opened 4- 0 for a sixth straight season.

This is was billed as an ACC showdown where the Hurricanes ( 3- 1, 2- 1 ACC) could prove the swagger had truly returned to “The U.”

Instead, Miami’s offense was suffocated by the Tigers ( 3- 0 ACC) and held without an offensive touchdown until the fourth quarter.

Hurricanes quarterback D’Eriq King came in alongside Lawrence as the ACC’s dominant, dynamic playmakers. The Houston transfer, though, was swarmed by Clemson all game and completed just 12 of 28 passes for 121 yards and his first two interceptions of the season.

Lawrence passed for 292 yards, completing 29 of 41 and went without an interception for a 12th straight game.

No. 5 Notre Dame 42, Florida State 26.

SOUTH BEND, IND. » Kyren Williams ran for 185 yards and two touchdowns and safety Shaun Crawford helped thwart a potential Florida State rally with a goal- line interception in No. 5 Notre Dame’s 42- 26 victory Saturday night.
