CLEMSON – Maybe, just maybe, Clemson’s bevy of younger players are finally learning how to win.
Clemson started two juniors or seniors on offense against Wake Forest Saturday – the rest were freshmen and sophomores – and had a wide receiving corps depleted by injury as five scholarship receivers missed the game. That includes the top four receivers on the preseason depth chart in Justyn Ross, Frank Ladson, Joseph Ngata, and EJ Williams.
It didn’t matter as the Tigers relied on perhaps the best game from the offensive line this season and outstanding efforts from running backs Kobe Pace and Will Shipley in a dominating 48-27 victory over the Demon Deacons on Senior Day in Death Valley Saturday afternoon.
