What we learned in the Big East

Wes Byrum kicked a 39-yard field goal in overtime and Clemson's Chandler Catanzaro

missed a do-over kick to tie as Auburn won 27-24 on Saturday night.

The game appeared headed to another OT when Catanzaro made a 27-yarder after a defensive stand kept Clemson shy of a winning touchdown. After a 5-yard illegal procedure penalty on the kick because center Dalton Freeman double-clutched the ball, the redshirt freshman's second attempt hooked wide left, touching off a big celebration for the home Tigers.

"I was trying to warm up again," Byrum said, "but I knew when the crowd went crazy he missed it."

Auburn (3-0) had rallied from a 17-0 deficit late in the first half and scored three touchdowns in the third quarter, but didn't have to do much to settle it in the end.

Clemson (2-1) has lost 14 consecutive meetings in the vintage but long dormant Southern rivalry. The loss came abruptly

"It's not good to see points off the board, but that's football nfl jersey," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. "There's a lot of pain and hurt in that locker room."

He added, "I would not trade kicker Chandler Catanzaro for anyone."

"I think it was a bad pass," said Parker, who was playing through a rib injury. "I think I could have made it a lot easier on him. I think he did a great job of getting open, and I take 100 percent of the blame on that one."

It was the first regular-season meeting since 1971 and the second straight to have extra football, including the 2007 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.

Clemson, which had opened with predictably lopsided wins over North Texas and Presbyterian, stepped up for the Southeastern Conference opponent with a fast start in front of the biggest crowd the program had played in front of (87,451).

The rivalry renewal turned into a roller-coaster ride, where the teams took theirmlb jerseys in the driver's seat. It was the first time Auburn had rallied to win after trailing by at least 17 points since coming back to beat Syracuse 37-34 in triple overtime on Sept. 28, 2002.

"They kept their faith the whole game," Auburn coach Gene Chizik said of his players. "It was one of those games where we just kept fighting. You're always trying to figure out who your football nfl jerseyteam is and you never know until you get into a situation where you're in uncharted territory, which is where we were tonight."
