Buzzkill in Atlanta.

Top-ranked Clemson put up 52 points in a record-breaking first half and routed Georgia Tech 73-7 in at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta early Saturday afternoon.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw for a career-high 404 yards on 24-of-33 passing, with five touchdowns. Travis Etienne had 44 yards on 11 carries. Amari Rodgers had a career-high 161 yards on six receptions. Ten players ran the football and 15 players recorded a reception.

Things got so bad for the Yellow Jackets that fifth-string quarterback and punter Will Spiers threw a pass after entering the under center in the fourth quarter.
