CLEMSON – A tough day at the office was merely the continuation of a long year at the office.
Clemson’s offense totaled just 86 yards in a miserable second half, with just 13 of those yards coming from the passing game. Overall, Clemson gained just 336 tough yards against a South Carolina defense that ranked in the lower half nationally in a lot of categories.
Clemson quarterback DJ Uiagalelei was 8-of-29 for 99 yards. Clemson rushed for 237 yards, with Will Shipley gaining 132 yards on 15 carries. However, other than a 59-yarder in the first half to Beaux Collins, the passing numbers were as bad as we’ve seen since the Rob Spence era (Clemson offensive coordinator from 2005-08) – 7-for-28 for 40 yards.
