Interesting. Clemson has wilted in the Fourth Quarter against several teams this year, and they've been outscored in the 4th 99-90 over the season. Given that Bama and Henry really start dominating in the 4th Quarter after wearing teams down, I have to think that if the game isn't settled by the 4th Quarter, Clemson will fall then.
A few of the Tigers' tight wins involved surviving late-game rallies. They beat South Carolina 37-32 after the Gamecocks outscored the ACC champions 22-9 in the final 15:08.
North Carolina held a 21-10 edge in the last 16:39 of the ACC title game that Clemson won 45-37. And the Tigers' early signature 24-22 win over then-No. 6 Notre Dame saw the Irish roll up 19 fourth-quarter points to Clemson's 3. Even Syracuse (4-8) outscored Clemson 10-6 in the second half of a 37-27 Tiger win.
