There was some talk that Clemson is vulnerable and not worthy of its lofty preseason hype entering Saturday’s ACC opener at Georgia Tech.
Yes, the Tigers were 3-0, but they had yet to put together a complete game through the first three weeks of the season and had dropped from No. 2 to No. 3 in the AP Poll.
That changed against the Yellow Jackets as Clemson easily handled Georgia Tech 49-21 at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
The game was never in doubt as Clemson jumped out to a 28-7 halftime lead and led 42-7 in the third quarter before calling off the dogs.
