CLEMSON – Killer instinct.
Clemson’s offense was bottled up for much of the win over UNC, and co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott said he wanted his group to have a killer instinct when it faced FSU. That gameplan worked to perfection.
Clemson’s offense attacked early and often, scoring 28 first-half points and racking up just under 400 yards of total offense. The Tigers wound up with 552 total yards, including a whopping 320 on the ground. Clemson also had 31 first downs and ran 91 plays.
It was an offense on the attack, and Elliott said offensive lineman Tremayne Anchrum spoke up at halftime and told his teammates that they needed to be sharks that smell blood in the water.
