Clemson Tops Pitt 24-20 to Advance

Clemson secured a dramatic 24-20 victory over Pittsburgh, keeping their ACC Championship hopes alive despite a challenging second half. The Tigers initially led 17-7 at halftime but fell behind 20-17 late in the game, only for quarterback Cade Klubnik to score a crucial 50-yard touchdown with 1:16 remaining. Klubnik finished with 288 passing yards and two touchdown passes, also contributing significantly on the ground. Clemson's defense faced adversity with injuries and an ejection, yet they managed to hold off Pitt, culminating in an interception by Khalil Barnes as time expired. The Tigers improved to 8-2 overall and 7-1 in the ACC, needing help from other teams to secure a spot in the ACC Championship game. Moving forward, Clemson must address their depth issues on the offensive line while preparing for their next game against The Citadel.
