Down 14 points in the fourth quarter, Clemson pulls out an amazing comeback 27-17 win over undefeated Wake Forest. The rally was highlighted by an exceptional play that earned the Tigers a “Pontiac Game Changing Performance” nomination. Clemson defensive lineman Gaines Adams caused a fumble after a mishandled snap on a field-goal attempt, recovered the ball and returned it 66 yards for the score on the first play of the fourth quarter… a true game-changing performance that ignited the rally, swinging momentum back to the Tigers.
