The Clemson Tigers could’ve easily had a slip up on Saturday against Boston College. With an emotionally draining win the week before against Louisville, and a road trip with short rest last week, the Tigers could’ve easily came out flat.

But their quarterback didn’t allow that to happen. The Tigers got off to a fast start, going up 21-3 after the first quarter, and never looked back.

They were lead by their Heisman candidate quarterback Deshaun Watson, who threw for 266 yards and four touchdowns.

With the win on Saturday, Clemson has now extended its conference winning streak to 12 games and its road winning streak to eight.

It’s safe to say their bye this week is well deserved.

After the bye week this week, they travel to Florida State for a matchup against the Seminoles, who picked up a much-needed win on Saturday in dramatic fashion in Miami.

If the Tigers can get passed Florida State they seem to be in good hands. After that matchup, three of their last four games come at home.

It looks like Dabo Swinney has his team poised for another College Football Playoff run. This team will play as well as, and will go as far as their quarterback will take them.
