Clemson rallies past Pitt, stays in the hunt for ACC title game appearance

New York Times  

Clemson entered the final 90 seconds of the fourth quarter against Pitt on Saturday afternoon with 8 total rushing yards. And with the score, he kept alive Clemson’s chances of sneaking into the ACC Championship Game — and, as a result, its hopes of reaching the College Football Playoff. Clemson led 17-7 at halftime, but the Panthers tied the game with just over seven minutes to play and took a 20-17 lead with a 47-yard field goal with 1:36 remaining before Klubnik took over. The Tigers, who have completed their ACC schedule with a 7-1 record, will advance to the league title game if Miami loses one of its last two games or SMU loses two of its final three games. Pitt dropped to 3-3 in the ACC and will be eliminated from reaching the conference title game if SMU defeats Boston College today.
