CLEMSON – A note, a quote, and a stat from Clemson’s 49-3 victory over South Carolina State.
No. 6 Clemson was in control from the start of the victory, scoring on its first four drives (all in the first quarter) and played 102 players, the third-most in head coach Dabo Swinney’s tenure (111 vs. Charlotte in 2019; 105 vs. Wofford in 2019).
The Tigers also appeared to avoid major injuries.
A Quote
True freshman backup quarterback/wide receiver/punt returner Will Taylor was impressive during his home debut. He had a 19-yard touchdown called back because of an illegal block in the back, had a 51-yard punt return, rushed five times for 23 yards, and showed flashes of brilliance.
