CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) No. 12 Clemson gets to see how effective its offense will be without 1,000-yard receiver Mike Williams.

The Tigers (1-0) lost Williams to a scary-looking neck fracture last week when he hit the padded goalpost support after grabbing a 4-yard touchdown in their 49-10 rout of Wofford to start the season.

Clemson faces Appalachian State (1-0) on Saturday.

Williams spent several uncomfortable moments on the ground in a most silent stadium. He left on a cart, but was back walking around with teammates after the game.
