Top-ranked Clemson came to Atlanta on Saturday and wanted to make some history.
It did.
In fact, Clemson made a lot of history Saturday at Bobby Dodd stadium, while rolling to a 73-7 victory over Georgia Tech.
Clemson’s 66-point margin of victory is the largest in a game between two ACC teams since the conference’s inception in 1953. It is Clemson’s second-largest win all-time against a school presently in the Football Bowl Subdivision, trailing only a 73-0 victory against Georgia Tech in 1903.
The Tigers’ 73 points tied the 1903 contest for its most against Georgia Tech in a game in series history.
