ACC Rankings Week One

1. Clemson Tigers: QB, DJ Uiagalelei, looked improved from last year, but the performance was still not up to the standard of quarterback play the Tigers have come to expect. The Clemson defense and special teams continuously set the offense up for success, including two blocked punts. The Clemson offense was slow to start and struggled to get a rushing attack established only averaging 3.2 yards per carry on 40 attempts. The Clemson defensive line looks set to dominate again, leading the smothering of the Yellow Jackets’ offense, holding them to 237 total yards, and allowing them to convert only 2-16 on third down.
