Without Van Dyke, Miami rallies and stuns Clemson 28-20 in double OT thriller
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “And it increases our appetite to go get more.” Emory Williams, playing in place of injured Miami quarterback Tyler Van Dyke, completed 24 of 33 passes for 151 yards and a touchdown for the Hurricanes. “Obviously very proud of our players, very proud of our program, for showing just a ton of resiliency and toughness,” Cristobal said, noting that Miami remembered last year’s game with Clemson — a 40-10 loss where the Tigers tacked a touchdown on with 16 seconds remaining. Field goals capped each team’s first overtime series; Jonathan Weitz kicked a 31-yarder for Clemson, Borregales connected from 35 yards for Miami to tie it at 20 and send the game to a second overtime. POLL IMPLICATIONS Clemson was second in the “also receiving votes” department of last week’s AP Top 25, though it’s hard to believe any voters would have the Tigers on their ballot this week.
