Clemson’s defense entered some rare company Saturday.
The Tigers limited Georgia Tech to a pair of field goals in a 14-8 win that was much closer than many of the fans at Memorial Stadium who rode out a lightning delay that halted play for almost two hours expected. In doing so, No. 6 Clemson held its opponent without a touchdown for the third straight game to start a season, becoming just the fourth Football Bowl Subdivision team to accomplish that feat in the last 15 years.
It’s also the first time Clemson has done that since 1950 when the Tigers kept Presbyterian, Missouri and North Carolina State out of the end zone to start that season.
