Clemson football’s offense is feeling confident following a dominant 66-20 victory over App State, even after an open date last weekend. The Tigers bounced back in a big way after a rough start to the season, where they struggled to move the ball in a 34-3 loss to Georgia. Now, the focus is on proving that kind of offensive performance can be sustained week after week.
“Now we know we can do it,” said Antonio Williams, one of the key figures in Clemson’s offense so far. “Now that we’ve seen it and know we can do that, let’s go do it every week.” Despite the boost in confidence, Williams emphasized the importance of staying grounded and not getting carried away with one win. “Our confidence is very high right now; we got a lot of momentum,” he added. “But we got to handle the success just like we handled that adversity in that first game.”
Williams has been instrumental in Clemson’s offensive production through the first two games, contributing nine catches for 136 yards and one touchdown. As Clemson prepares for their upcoming matchup against NC State, he’s making sure the team stays mentally focused. “Having a game like that, you don’t want to get too high and think we can’t be beat,” Williams explained. “Or that it is going to happen every game just because we did it one time.”
