Tigers salute the military with comfortable win over UConn
Clemson's defense stood strong in the win over the Huskies.CLEMSON – Clemson’s defense once again rose to the occasion, but the offense once again struggled and injuries continued to mount as the Tigers defeated UConn 44-7 on a perfect autumn afternoon in Death Valley.
Clemson pulled off another picture-perfect Military Appreciation Day celebration, but the offense never looked crisp and several key players left because of injury, including Justyn Ross, backup quarterback Taisun Phommachanh, and defensive end Xavier Thomas.
The defense allowed just 99 total yards, including minus-17 yards rushing.
