Darian Mensah and Malachi Toney had somewhat subdued performances for Miami against Clemson on Saturday night (at least by their lofty standards). It didn't matter.

The Hurricanes smoked the Tigers in Death Valley, winning 41-13 in a result that further solidified Miami as the team to beat in the ACC this season.

Here's a look at the game's most notable performers:

Miami's defense was pretty incredible in this contest, forcing two turnovers, finishing with six sacks and holding Clemson to just 55 rushing yards. The Tigers didn't do themselves many favors with 10 penalties that cost them 91 yards.

Offensively, meanwhile, running back Mark Fletcher Jr. had himself a night:

Mensah also had one of the best—and hairiest—runs of the night, scoring a touchdown after recovering his own fumble in the end zone:

He was also pretty good through the air, with the aid of Miami's playmakers after the catch.

From start to finish, a dominant showing from the undefeated Hurricanes (5-0). After a bye week, they'll face rivals Florida State on Oct. 17, with the Seminoles currently on a two-game winning streak.

Clemson (3-2) will look to get back on track against Charleston Southern on Oct. 17.
