Clemson 38 - 24 Auburn (9:33 left in 4th Quarter)

Well, that's your ball game. Clemson scored a touchdown to go up 35-24, then drove down for a field goal to make it 38-24. Auburn, trying desperately to preserve the UCFC, launched a drive that took it to the Clemson 9 -- but then threw an interception. Clemson is now on its way back down the field.

Clemson fans will be happy with this win -- as they should be. Auburn had won 17 games in a row, had beaten Clemson 14 times in a row, and jumped out to a 14-0 lead. Since then, Clemson has simply run roughshod over Auburn, outscoring them 38-10.

Nevertheless, my own belief is that Auburn will turn out not to be all that good -- they just don't have any defense. On the other hand, I think Clemson's next opponent -- Florida State -- will turn out to be very good. So while they will be celebrating in Clemson this week, my guess is that this page will not stay orange and purple for very long.
