Darian Mensah, Mark Fletcher Jr. lead unbeaten No. 4 Miami past Clemson 41-13

Clemson's No. 4 ranked Miami defeated Clemson 41-13 on Saturday night, taking sole possession of first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Quarterback Darian Mensah led the way with 227 passing yards and a touchdown, along with a 34-yard scoring run. Mark Fletcher Jr. added 77 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while Cooper Barkate contributed 98 receiving yards, including a 66-yard touchdown reception.

Freshman Tait Reynolds had a career-high 295 passing yards with one interception for Clemson, who started as a 17 1/2-point underdog, the largest spread in Dabo Swinney's tenure. Clemson's defense showed toughness in the first half, but Miami's offense ultimately wore them down. Both teams are off for a weekend before returning to action on October 17, with Miami hosting Florida State and Clemson hosting Charleston Southern.
