Whether it be a coach, a player or a fan, one can never read too much into a lopsided win over an inferior opponent.
The only real concern for Clemson come the end of Saturday night would’ve been if the Tigers hadn’t blown past South Carolina State, an in-state opponent from the Football Championship Subdivision level, and racked up a bunch of injuries because they had to play starters longer than anticipated. But that wasn’t the case.
Clemson’s advantage in skill, talent and depth helped the Tigers enjoy a stress-free night in front of the first capacity crowd Memorial Stadium had seen since November of 2019.
