Clemson outscored Louisiana Tech 21-0 in the third quarter. The rest of the game didn’t go quite so smoothly as the Tigers only outscored the Bulldogs 27-20 across the other three periods. Much like in their first two games, it was an up-and-down performance that showed Clemson’s upside as well as their maddening inconsistency. Let’s break it down.
We’ll start with Will Shipley, my offensive MVP. After accruing just 110 rushing yards in his first two games combined, he ran for 139 against Louisiana Tech. When holes were open, he burst through them and then made the defender at the next level miss.
