Tigers’ defense on high alert

Clemson defensive end Clelin Ferrell says the seventh-ranked Tigers are on high alert when they take on Georgia Tech Saturday in Death Valley.

The Tigers (6-1, 4-1 ACC) are coming off a loss to Syracuse and an open week, while facing a Georgia Tech team that is playing with a lot of confidence.

The Yellow Jackets (4-2, 3-1) rank second nationally and lead the ACC in rushing, averaging 372.3 yards per game.

I mean it doesn’t really freak you out because you know they run the same thing every year, but then again it still puts you on high alert because even though they run the same thing, it’s tough to stop,” Ferrell said.
