CLEMSON — It was a tale of two halves for Clemson on Saturday.

After struggling to do much over most of the first two quarters, the eighth-ranked Tigers overcame a 16-point deficit, knocking off Troy 27-16.

Clemson improves to 1-1 and will now prepare for its first road game of the season, a noon matchup against Georgia Tech to open ACC play on Saturday.

Second Half Efficiency

What a disastrous first half. Nothing went right. On the offense’s first five possessions, four of them were four plays or fewer. There were three punts and two turnovers, with one being a pick-six that put the team in a 16-0 hole.
