Clemson has ridden its defense to a near perfect start this season. Now the Tigers will see if they can jumpstart an offense that’s been anything but in arguably the most challenging environment they’ve encountered to this point.
The seventh-ranked Tigers (2-1, 1-0 ACC) head to Carter-Finley Stadium on Saturday looking to start their first winning streak in ACC play against North Carolina State. Clemson played away from Memorial Stadium in its opener against Georgia, a seven-point setback in which the Tigers didn’t allow an offensive touchdown but didn’t reach the end zone either.
It’s a microcosm of the Tigers’ season so far, one in which Clemson has yet to allow a touchdown but has also had trouble finding it against FBS opponents.
