In Clemson’s 43-24 victory over Georgia Tech on Saturday, the fifth-ranked Tigers played a style of football reminiscent of the old days when Clemson physically beat up its opponents inside Memorial Stadium, truly giving it the moniker “Death Valley.”
With the rain coming down all afternoon, the Tigers (5-0, 2-0 ACC) physically whipped the Yellow Jackets in the trenches. Clemson held Tech to 1.7 yards per carry, while on the other side of the ball, the Tigers running game averaged 4.9 yards per carry.
Clemson’s defense recorded 11 tackles for loss, and held Georgia Tech’s star quarterback to three yards rushing.
