As he assessed the totality of his team’s performance following the Tigers’ 14-8 win Saturday — one in which Clemson scored its first two touchdowns against FBS competition this season — Clemson coach Dabo Swinney uttered the obvious.
“We’re kind of led by our defense right now,” Swinney said.
That’s an understatement even if it’s not a complete surprise through Clemson’s first three games.
After turning Tech away time and time again, including a dramatic goal-line stand in the final 90 seconds that preserved the Tigers’ closer-than-expected victory, Clemson stands alone as the only FBS team that’s yet to allow an offensive touchdown.
