Football Clemson: Tigers prevail and move on, 51-45 in double overtime

In college football, you sometimes have to embrace the ugly, and against Wake Forest, there was a lot of nasty for Clemson football (h/t Mack Brown).

But good teams always find a way to triumph, and the Tigers did just that

Just good enough. Definitely not at the level of the Tigers National Championship teams, but there are still four games left

Total yards for Clemson were 559. With a season-high 26 of 41 compilation, Uiagalelei racked up 371 passing yards and a career-high five touchdown throws

On his first two drives, Uiagalelei was flawless, completing all seven of his throw attempts for 104 yards and two scores

On third-and-21 following a stop, Uiagalelei found Briningstool once again for a 30-yard pass down the middle to continue a drive
