Don't blink, or you'll miss something in Miami. Turnovers have been killing Miami in this game -- Jacory Harris already has three of the four -- but somehow they keep finding a way to compensate for their mistakes. Immediately after throwing an interception for a touchdown, Harris found Travis Benjamin for a 69-yard touchdown to take back the lead, 34-31. It's been a hard-hitting, physical game, as several key players like Clemson tight end Michael Palmer have been left dazed and confused. Miami's linebackers are in short supply.

This seems like the kind of game where whoever has the ball last will win. Miami has racked up 405 yards so far on the same Clemson defense that held Boston College to 54, but the Canes can't afford anymore turnovers if they want to hang onto this lead. The Tigers have found an answer to their woes at wide receiver, and it's been C.J. Spiller and Palmer. Win or lose, Clemson made a statement today.
