CLEMSON, S.C. — SMU kicker Sam Keltner didn’t attempt a field goal in the second half of Saturday’s 35-24 win over Clemson, but his name was the one chanted in the locker room as the team celebrated. “Shoutout Sam Keltner. Shoutout Sam,” SMU linebacker Brandon Miyazono said multiple times during his postgame press conference.

Even with a loss and some first-half struggles, Clemson backup quarterback Christopher Vizzina was a bright spot on Saturday.

Kevin Jennings threw for 290 yards and two touchdowns, Chris Johnson Jr. scored on a game-clinching 6-yard touchdown run and SMU defeated Clemson 35-24 on Saturday to avenge last year's heartbreaking loss in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.

SMU has now won 11 straight ACC regular-season games since entering the conference and is one of just three ACC teams to control its own destiny without

CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson quarterback Christopher Vizzina found Tristan Smith on 4th-and-21 with 6:44 to play to cut a 12-point SMU lead to five, but the Mustangs (5-2, 3-0 ACC) drove 13 plays and 75 yards in 5:41 to hold off the Tigers (3-4, 2-3 ACC) for a 35-24 win in Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

Around the ACC, Miami dropped to No. 9 after their loss to Louisville, who jumped into the rankings to No. 22 after their upset win. Undefeated Georgia Tech flew up to No. 7, while Virginia continues their hot run, moving up to No. 16.

Clemson's 35-24 home loss to SMU on Saturday will only make the voices calling for head coach Dabo Swinney's job grow louder, but he's unlikely to be going anywhere anytime soon.

Clemson heads into halftime at Death Valley trailing SMU 16–7 after a first half filled with frustration and inconsistency. The Tigers are looking to extend their win streak to three and earn their first home victory over a Power-4 opponent in nearly a year,
