Clemson has seen both ends of the spectrum this season when it comes to the caliber of competition, though it’s been hard to tell a difference given the way the Tigers’ defense has performed.
Two field goals is all the scoring No. 6 Clemson has allowed through the first eight quarters of the season. A 22-yarder late in the third quarter were the only points the Tigers’ defense surrendered against No. 2 Georgia, and South Carolina State’s field goal late in the second quarter of what was a 35-0 game at the time helped the Bulldogs avoid a shutout in Clemson’s 49-3 rout last week.
