It was great to see the Tigers back on the field after an open date followed by a day-of-the-game cancellation by Florida State. The Tigers came out of the gate looking like a team itching to play.
They looked to be in Championship Phase as they scored 31 points in the first quarter (a Clemson record). There was a little bit of sloppiness or complacency in the middle of the game, but they finished strong to earn an impressive 52-17 win over a quality Pittsburgh team. There’s a lot to breakdown so let’s dive in.
It only took two or three throws for Trevor Lawrence to shake off a month of rust.
