Fresh off a 52-3 win over Central Michigan, No. 4 Miami heads to Death Valley for its first true test of the season. The Hurricanes are 4-0 and 2-0 in conference play, averaging 51.8 points a game. Clemson is 3-1 after opening with a 51-10 loss at LSU and then winning three straight.
The Tigers are unranked and Miami is a two-touchdown road favorite, which is the first time in Dabo Swinney's career that Clemson has been a double-digit underdog at home.
A win Saturday night would move Miami to 5-0 and give the Hurricanes their first victory in Memorial Stadium since 2010.
