Clemson’s first-team offense moved the ball up and down the field at will against The Citadel on Saturday when the top-ranked Tigers piled up 49 first-half points in the 49-0 victory – their most points in the first two quarters of play since scoring 49 against Temple in a 63-9 win on Oct. 12, 2006.
As good as Clemson’s attack was before the break, the offense stalled out in the second half after the backups entered the game. After totaling 298 yards and scoring touchdowns on its first seven possessions in the first two quarters, the Tigers managed only 107 yards and three first downs while being held scoreless in the second half.
