Quick Thoughts: Defense is good again, offense has good and bad in win

CLEMSON – Some quick thoughts on Clemson’s 49-3 victory over SC State, and we will start with the defense.

Clemson improves to 1-1 on the season while SC State falls to 0-2. Clemson hosts Georgia Tech next Saturday at 3:30 pm (network TBA) in the ACC opener for both teams.

*DEFENSE DOES IT AGAIN. Brent Venables’s starting unit was dominant for the most part and it wasn’t until late in the second quarter that the Bulldogs had any success. In fact, SC State had 12 yards in the first quarter, then just 74 in the third quarter and finished with 235 total yards.
