Clemson jumped out to a 35-3 halftime lead over South Carolina State in its return to a full-capacity Memorial Stadium in Clemson.
The sixth-ranked Tigers responded with plenty of offense with 315 total yards including 177 yards on the ground after a defensive slugfest in the season opener against Georgia last week.
On the first play from scrimmage, Lyn-J Dixon was able to surpass Clemson’s two-yard rushing total from the week prior with a 16-yard carry.
Dixon returned to action after head coach Dabo Swinney held him out for the first half of Clemson’s season opener for a violation of team rules.
