Elliott impressed as team enters 'championship phase'
In 2011, Clemson struggled to walk out of Memorial Stadium with a win as it defeated Wofford, 35-27, after holding a small one-point lead entering the fourth quarter.
On Saturday the story proved much different as the third-ranked Tigers rolled their FCS foe 59-14 on Military Appreciation Day.
Clemson co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott was the running backs coach in 2011, when the Tigers were booed into the locker room after a tie game at halftime and he knew the challenges of playing a lesser known opponent in the midst of a competitive schedule.
But the result proved much different Saturday and the Tigers (9-0) showed focus and took care of business against the Terriers (5-3).
