Clemson quarterbacks: All three Clemson quarterbacks played well, with starter Kelly Bryant leading the way. The junior accounted for 313 total yards while barely playing the second half. Backups Hunter Johnson and Zerrick Cooper finished the game, with Johnson completing 5 of 6 passes for 39 yards and Cooper going 4 of 6 for 37 yards and a touchdown. The only interception was thrown by Bryant on a tipped pass.
Jeff Scott/Tony Elliott: Clemson’s offensive coordinators got Bryant into a rhythm early by running the ball and throwing short passes. Bryant was comfortable by the time he threw his first deep pass, which he completed to Deon Cain for a 61-yard score.
