Seven times during Dabo Swinney’s 12 years at Clemson, the Tigers have pitched a shutout. One of those came this past Saturday in their 49-0 victory over The Citadel.
No one of course was surprised to the see the top-ranked team in the country dominate an FCS foe. However, the way in which the Clemson defense dominated the Bulldogs needs to be taken seriously.
The Citadel is a proud football program, one that has defeated South Carolina and Georgia Tech in recent years and gave Alabama fits as well. But they had no success against Clemson at Death Valley.
