Tigers preparing for high-stress Citadel

Related Topics: Triple option

CLEMSON — The Clemson Tiger defense will have its hands full this week with the triple-option attack of The Citadel Bulldogs.

For the first time since the 2013 season, the Tigers will welcome the Bulldogs and their powerful triple-option attack to Death Valley for a showdown Saturday (12:20 p.m., ACC Network).

The good news for the Tigers is they have already experienced the triple-option attack this season, against cross-division rival Georgia Tech, who the Tigers held to 133 rushing yards. The bad news for the Tigers is that The Citadel is a different animal than Georgia Tech.
