In a reversal from game one versus Georgia Tech, Clemson got off to a blistering hot start scoring touchdowns on five of its first six drives against Furman on Saturday. They led 35-9 with 10 minutes remaining in the third quarter.
So while they stumbled a bit after that, the outcome was never in question. The Tigers cruised to a 35-12 win. The defense only surrendered 12 points but gave up 384 total yards and struggled to get the ball back to the offense.
They’ll get another tune up with Louisiana Tech (1-1) coming to town before the Tigers travel to Winston-Salem to take on a Wake Forest team that got QB Sam Hartman back earlier than expected after a scary blood clot situation.
