CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Freshman DJ Uiagalelei threw for 342 yards and two touchdowns subbing for Trevor Lawrence, out after testing positive for COVID-19, and No. 1 Clemson rallied from 18-points down to defeat Boston College 34-28 on Saturday.

Travis Etienne became the ACC's all-time rushing leader and his second TD put the Tigers up for good.

Clemson won its 28th straight against ACC competition and its 10th in a row over the Eagles without some of its most crucial players like Lawrence and injured starting linebackers James Skalski and Mike Jones Jr.

Next Saturday the Tigers are on the road to face No. 4 Notre Dame.
