After Clemson’s second drive of the game against South Carolina State on Saturday, center Jay Guillermo turned to left tackle Mitch Hyatt on the sideline and had this to say:
“Man, we are moving,” Guillermo said.
Guillermo was talking about the Tigers’ tempo, and he was right.
Clemson had just executed a 10-play, 76-yard touchdown drive that lasted less than three minutes. On the previous possession, Clemson ran 10 plays for 69 yards and a touchdown in 3:27.
For the first time this season, Clemson’s offense played at its desired pace all game, only slowing down in the second half with the score out of hand.
