(AP) — Darian Mensah threw for 227 yards and a touchdown and had a 34-yard scoring run as No. 4 Miami routed Clemson 41-13 on Saturday night to seize sole possession of first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Darian Mensah and Mark Fletcher Jr. were instrumental in Miami's 41-13 victory over Clemson, solidifying Miami's first place standing in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Mensah contributed 227 passing yards and a touchdown, along with a 34-yard rushing score. Fletcher added 77 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while Cooper Barkate contributed 98 receiving yards, including a 66-yard touchdown catch.

Freshman Tait Reynolds threw 295 yards with one interception for Clemson, which was the largest point spread in Dabo Swinney's tenure.
