Clemson entered the halftime break with a 7-0 lead over Georgia Tech at Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
But the sixth-ranked Tigers struggled to find a rhythm on offense but maintained an advantage at halftime thanks to another half of shut down football on defense.
Clemson struck first on three-yard touchdown run by Will Shipley with 4:37 to play in the first quarter to take a 7-0 lead. The run capped off an eight play 39 yard drive in 3:15.
After 30 minutes of play the Tigers out-gained Georgia Tech 127-98. D.J. Uiagalelei looked out of sync as he completed 11-of-15 passes for 63 yards.
