Clemson left with Cheez-Its in hand on Wednesday night, defeating Iowa State, 20-13, in the Cheez-It Bowl. Although the Cyclones clawed back late, the Tigers’ defensive outing in the third quarter was too much to overcome.⠀
⠀
Clemson’s three-point lead at halftime quickly turned into a 20-3 lead when the Tigers scored 14 points in under a minute. The first seven were scored by Clemson running back Will Shipley, who scampered into the right side of the endzone for a 12-yard touchdown in the third quarter.⠀
⠀
That play occurred at 4:54 mark. 53 seconds later, Mario Goodrich returned a Brock Purdy interception for a touchdown. Purdy’s pass was deflected at the line of scrimmage, and he attempted to bat the ball down, but instead batted it up for Goodrich to catch and run.⠀
