Clemson’s offense came into Saturday’s game with Georgia Southern leading the nation in plays of 40 yards or more with six. The second-ranked Tigers added to that total in their 38-7 victory at Clemson’s Death Valley.
Trevor Lawrence’s 57-yard touchdown pass to Justyn Ross in the second quarter and Travis Etienne’s 40-yard touchdown upped the Tigers’ total to eight through the first three games of the season.
The Tigers amassed 595 total yards overall, including 286 passing and 309 rushing. It marked the second time this season Clemson has reached 200 passing yards and 200 rushing yards in the same game and the 36th time the program has done so under head coach Dabo Swinney.
