It took a quarter for Clemson to find its footing, but a spark from the defense got things rolling, and Deshaun Watson handled things from there in a 41-10 win over Appalachian State. Watson threw his first interception of the season, and Clemson was nursing a 3-0 lead three minutes into the second quarter when Carlos Watkins picked off a Taylor Lamb pass and returned it for a touchdown. The Tigers roared to a 38-0 lead from there to secure the win, with Watson finishing 18-for-24 for 241 yards and three touchdowns after his early pick.
