Dukes' hard work pays off

Top-ranked Clemson took care of business Saturday with a 52-10 victory over Charlotte and were able to play a record 111 of the 113 players dressed on Saturday.

The Tigers set another record on Saturday, as well. For first time in school history, Clemson scored at least 40 points in three of the first four games.

Playing on the theme of firsts, running back Michel Dukes scored his first career touchdown against Charlotte. The 24-yard touchdown run was a “walk” in the park for Dukes.

“It was a stallion left,” the true freshman said. “When Taisun (Phommachanh) gave me the ball, I was just looking for a crease to run through and the line did an awesome job setting it up.
