Clemson offense takes over after first quarter

CLEMSON – Clemson’s offense isn’t in midseason form but it doesn’t have to be. Saturday against a Texas A&M defense that wanted to take away the running game, it was more than good enough.

Running back Lyn-J Dixon provided a bright spot with 11 carries for 79 yards and quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 24-of-35 passes for 268 yards as No. 1 Clemson downed No. 12 Texas A&M 24-10 Saturday afternoon in Death Valley.

Co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott tipped his cap to Texas A&M defensive coordinator Mike Elko after the Tigers gained 389 yards of total offense.
