CLEMSON – It's hard to have a better start than Clemson had Saturday afternoon.
The top-ranked Tigers scored touchdowns on the first seven drives of the game, including two long touchdown throws by Trevor Lawrence – and emptied the bench the rest of the way in a workmanlike 49-0 victory over The Citadel in Death Valley.
Clemson improves to 2-0 on the season, while The Citadel falls to 0-2. The shutout was a first for the Tiger defense since the 2016 Fiesta Bowl and the 31-0 win over Ohio State. Clemson has 31-straight regular-season wins now, which passed Florida State (2013-15) for the longest in ACC history.
