After a relatively slow start for Clemson the Tigers came out and dominated the second quarter behind Trevor Lawrence’s impressive performance. The triple option wasn’t able to level the playing field enough for Georgia Tech to run the ball efficiently or explosively. The Yellow Jackets were only able to generate two first downs in this quarter, one on a personal foul.

Clemson’s defensive tackles did yeoman work going against yet another option team, and the linebackers took advantage. J.D. Davis in particular put in an excellent game.
