As impressive as the Clemson offense was in the first half against The Citadel, the second unit was as equally unimpressive in the second half.
Led by Trevor Lawrence, the Tigers’ starters ran up nearly 300 yards of offense and scored six touchdowns on seven possessions. Clemson led 49-0 at halftime, including a James Skalski fumbled return for a touchdown.
However, in the second half, the Tigers, playing with second and third-team players, struggled to move the football with any consistency. They did not score in the last 30 minutes of the game and had just 112 total yards.
