The Clemson Tigers received a “Pontiac Game Changing Performance” nomination with their 27-20 victory over #9 Florida State. With less than a minute left to play and the game tied 20-20, Clemson’s quick snap caught the Seminoles’ defense off-guard and James Davis ran the ball 47 yards, down to FSU’s two-yard line. This run set up the game-winning touchdown by Davis from the one-yard line.
