CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Kevin Jennings threw for 290 yards and two touchdowns, Chris Johnson Jr. put the game away with a late 6-yard scoring run and SMU defeated Clemson 35-24 on Saturday to avenge last year’s heartbreaking loss in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.

Clemson played without first-team Preseason All-American quarterback Cade Klubnik, who sat out with ankle injury. Christopher Vizzina made his first start for the Tigers (3-4, 2-3) and completed 29 of 42 passes for 317 yards with three touchdowns, including two to T.J. Moore.
Moore had five catches for 124 yards, including a one-hand snag on a 62-yard touchdown reception.
