Clemson pulled off a stunning victory over No. 12 Notre Dame on Saturday as the Tigers somehow got past the Sam Hartman-led Fighting Irish, 31-23.

Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney had been under fire from fans over the course of the week as Clemson hasn’t looked like its usual self this season. Swinney had an outburst with a fan during his radio show but followed it with the big win to improve to 5-4 on the season.

After the game, Swinney had a clear message for the naysayers.

"We haven’t had much go our way this year," Swinney told ESPN sideline reporter Molly McGrath. "The one thing that has shown up every week is the heart and the fight from Clemson. 

"I know we’re down and everybody’s throwing dirt on us. But if Clemson’s a stock, you better buy all you freakin’ can buy right now."

Tigers running back Phil Mafah rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns. Cade Klubnick threw for one more and Clemson was able to pick up the win.

Clemson also picked off Hartman twice in the game. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Kylon Griffin were the ones who created the turnovers. Trotter returned his interception for a touchdown.

"It's tough because there's no one that loves us more than (Swinney) does," Mafah said. "I personally take it personal, I know a lot of guys do, too, so we had to bring our all today."

With the win, Swinney is now the all-time winningest head coach in Clemson football history.

A California man with a "420" head tattoo was captured in San Francisco on Saturday morning after allegedly decapitating a female relative and likely fleeing with her head, authorities said.

Luis Aroyo-Lopez, 24, was taken into custody after being on the run since police in Santa Rosa discovered the headless body of a woman inside a home on Thursday, the Santa Rosa Police Department said. Police said that no details about Aroyo-Lopez’s arrest were immediately available.

Police officers in Santa Rosa had responded around 3:40 p.m. Thursday to a home in the 500 block of Pomo Trail for a report of a possible homicide. Arriving officers found a woman decapitated inside the home and noted that her head was not found at the residence.

Investigators learned that Aroyo-Lopez, who resided in Santa Rosa, was a relative of the victim and is believed to have killed her before fleeing the scene, according to police.

Relatives said the victim was the grandmother of Aroyo-Lopez, FOX2 KTVU reporter Henry Lee posted on X.

Aroyo-Lopez, who has a large tattoo of "420" and a marijuana leaf on the left side of his head, was believed to have left the home with the victim’s head, which authorities believed may still have been in his possession while on the run.

Police, however, did not immediately say whether the victim’s head was recovered following the arrest of Aroyo-Lopez in San Francisco.

Aroyo-Lopez has a violent criminal history, which includes jail time for assault with a deadly weapon and weapons possession charges. The charges were unrelated to the victim in the homicide incident.

The 24-year-old was recently released from state prison and placed on post-release community supervision, police said.

Additional details about the homicide and arrest Aroyo-Lopez were not immediately provided. Police said more information would be shared later.
