Miami heads on the road for another ACC test, traveling to Clemson to take on the No. 22 Tigers in a matchup that could say a lot about where both teams stand in the conference. The Hurricanes come in rolling, while Clemson looks to protect its home floor in a ranked showdown.

Both teams are undefeated in ACC play as the Hurricanes enter the game at 15-2 overall and 4-0 in the ACC, while the Clemson Tigers come in at 15-3 overall and 5-0 in conference play.

Clemson is a very talented team, with its only losses coming against BYU, Alabama, and Georgetown. All three games were close, each decided by fewer than 10 points, and Clemson actually had Alabama beat before letting it slip away late. Miami, meanwhile, was one of the teams that defeated Georgetown this season.

This is going to be a good one this afternoon. Let’s enjoy it, Hurricanes fans. Here is everything you need to know about today’s matchup between the Miami Hurricanes and the Clemson Tigers.

Don't try to make up for being late with this long *** post... @IndayArtHauz is the Captain now... :cool:
 
Miami is heading to Clemson as a small underdog.

Early betting lines have the Hurricanes catching a few points on the road, with Clemson getting the edge at home. Nothing big just the usual respect for Littlejohn Coliseum.

The analytics have favored Clemson and now, the opening spread reflects that, UM sitting at +4.5 heading to the LittleJohn Coliseum with the over/under set at 142.5 points.

Will the Hurricanes upset the Tigers in about 15 minutes? They'll have to do it as underdogs.

Outside of two against both FSU and BC that we need to go at least 3-1 against we have a lot of tough games down the stretch.
