TWTW: Clemson Upsets 8th-Ranked Miami in OT 40-37

Kyle Parker threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Ford in overtime, giving Clemson a 40-37 win over No. 8 Miami on Saturday night.

Matt Bosher kicked a 22-yard field goal on Miami’s overtime possession, but on third-and-11, Parker’s third TD pass of the night gave the Tigers (4-3, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) their first win over a ranked opponent in nine games—and dealt Miami’s ACC hopes a serious blow.

Jacory Harris threw for two touchdowns for Miami (5-2, 2-2), but also threw three interceptions.

Since the start of the 1985 season, Miami is 136-2 when scoring 34 or more points.

It was the third meeting of these teams since Miami joined the ACC; all three went to overtime, and all three have been won by the road team.
