CLEMSON – Clemson’s offensive numbers are better across the board this season, but there is still plenty of room for improvement, including drops by wide receivers and executing better on second down.
Clemson ranks 19th nationally in scoring offense at 39.3 points per game, is 13th nationally in third down conversions (50-percentm 46-of-92), and is first nationally in red zone offense (32-for-32).
Against Boston College, the Tigers were successful (positive yards) on each of their first four second-down plays. A drop – this one by Beaux Collins in the endzone – forced the Tigers to settle for a field goal instead of a touchdown and the offense stalled for much of the next 24 minutes of regulation time.
