It was a tale of two halves for Dabo Swinney and the Clemson football program as the Tigers took down Charleston Southern, 66-17, in Death Valley on Saturday.
A poor first half looked like many of the issues from their poor showing in the Week 1 loss to Duke had rolled over. Heading into the half with a 24-17 lead, Swinney’s squad came out red hot in the third quarter.
Scoring 28 points in the third quarter and another 14 in the fourth, Clemson looked like a completely different team in the second half. It was a great sign. While we know there is much to improve on, a response like that in the second half is what the team needed.
With a win or a loss come five takeaways. Here are five takeaways from Clemson’s bounce-back win over Charleston Southern.
