Instant Analysis: Shipley shines but offense needs work as Tigers outlast Jackets

CLEMSON – From weather delays to multiple reviews and plenty of game stoppages, there was never any flow to the game between Clemson and Georgia Tech, but the Tigers found a way to get the job done.

Sixth-ranked Clemson (2-1 overall, 1-0 ACC) defeated Georgia Tech (1-2, 0-1) 14-8 Saturday night in Memorial Stadium.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME: If he hasn’t already earned it, freshman running back Will Shipley showed why he should be the starter. When nothing else seemed to go right on offense, the Tigers turned to Shipley, who carried the ball and the offense for most of the game.
