Clemson’s offense struggled most of the season but came on late thanks to an improved running game. That success led to a relatively new look for the offense against the South Carolina Gamecocks last Saturday night.
The Tigers ran the ball 97 times for 599 yards in wins over Wake Forest and South Carolina in the final two regular season games, an average of almost 6.2 yards per carry. Clemson ran 54 times for 333 yards against the Demon Deacons, with Kobe Pace carrying the ball 24 times for 191 yards and Will Shipley added 19 carries for 112 yards.
