CLEMSON, S.C. — Billy Edwards Jr. has thrown for 105 yards and a touchdown, Benjamin Hall has run for 126 yards and has a TD reception as North Carolina leads Clemson 17-15 with 8:11 remaining in the fourth quarter in a game delayed by lightning in the area.
When the game resumes the Tar Heels will have a second-and-goal at the Clemson 7. North Carolina jumped out to a 17-3 lead behind a 3-yard touchdown run by Demon June and a 15-yard TD pass from Edwards to Hall before Clemson’s Nolan Hauser added a field goal to close out the first half. Clemson closed the gap to two in the third quarter when Hauser connected on his third field goal of the game and Reynolds found Christian Bentancur for a 27-yard strike for his first career TD pass. However, the 2-point conversion attempt that would have tied the game failed when Bryant Wesco’s pass attempt to T.J.
It is the third straight Clemson game that has been delayed by weather. No rain has fallen at Memorial Stadium and the sun is shining. Moore failed off a trick play.
