Offense efficient, defense dominant in shutout of The Citadel
When it comes to his first-team offense, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has to be pleased.
For a second straight week to open the 2020 football season, Trevor Lawrence and company were crisp in their execution. Lawrence accounted for four touchdowns, including three through the air, while the top-ranked Tigers totaled 363 yards in the first half of their 49-0 victory over The Citadel Saturday at Death Valley.
Lawrence and the first-team offense were pulled before halftime. However, the damage was already done. Clemson scored touchdowns on its first six offensive possessions and also got a 17-yard fumble return for a touchdown by James Skalski. The Tigers led 49-0 at halftime.
