No. 21 Clemson puts up 45 first-half points in rout of NC State

Clemson is really trying to show that Week 1 against Georgia was an aberration.

The No. 21 Tigers have now scored 125 points since the opening weekend as Clemson blew out NC State 59-35 to open ACC play on Saturday. The Tigers were up 28-0 at the end of the first quarter as it was clear very early that the Wolfpack and freshman QB CJ Bailey had no chance.

Clemson scored just three points in its 31-point season-opening loss to the Bulldogs. In Week 2, the Tigers absolutely throttled Appalachian State with 56 first-half points.
