Sept. 10th Troy

The Trojans of Troy will roll into Tiger-Town for their second ever meeting with the Tigers. In 2011 Clemson defeated the Trojans 43-19 in what was Offensive Coordinator Chad Morris’ first game in Orange.

at the half.

But, as we’ve all been told before, there’s nothing less important than the score at halftime.

Sammy Watkins, Dewayne Allen, and Jaron Brown all caught touchdowns from the arm of Tajh Boyd, while Mike Bellamy, and DJ Howard found pay dirt on the ground.

This year, a completely different group of Tigers will have their chance at the Trojans in what should be a scorching day in Death Valley.
