It took Clemson’s offense a while to get off the bus on Saturday. A combination of sloppy execution and an underrated Eagles defense held the Tigers to 13 points in the first half. The teams went into the locker room for halftime with Clemson only leading by a couple of field goals. The running game in particular struggled, with Boston College focusing on keeping the ball in Lawrence’s hands on RPO’s. The tackles had a rough day, which makes Hyatt leaving the game with stingers pretty concerning.
The way the Tigers defense was playing, however, six points would be an insurmountable lead.
