CLEMSON — The one thing that has not been talked about in Clemson’s win at Boston College this past Saturday was the play of its defense.
The Tigers held the Eagles to 221 yards in their 41-10 victory in Chestnut Hill, Mass. It marked the second straight week they have held their opposition under 300 yards of total offense.
Granted, Clemson has not played the “Greatest Show on Turf” or Brady and the Patriots the last two weeks. However, keep in mind how bad the defense played in its loss to Syracuse on Sept. 20.
It allowed the Orange to tally 433 total yards, including 306 and 27 points in the first half in a 34-21 loss.
