Tigers score 28 in first quarter, cruise to win over SC State in home opener

CLEMSON – Will Shipley scored the first two touchdowns of his career and the defense held an offense without a touchdown for the second straight game as No. 6 Clemson defeated SC State 49-3 at Memorial Stadium Saturday evening.

On a day where the nation and the Tigers honored our First Responders – on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 – the Tiger Band and SC State’s Marching 101 combined for a moving tribute at the half.

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.
