Clemson football got out to an early lead and never looked back. The offense went conservative in the second half and, as a matter of fact, hurt themselves in the third and fourth quarter.
There were a couple of bad snaps and a penalty that set the Tigers back offensively.
The Clemson football defense looked dominant, especially in the first half. The Tigers played a lot of second-stringers that led to Georgia Tech picking up some yardage in the late third quarter and the fourth quarter.
