Clemson moves down in the latest coaches poll

Clemson fall in the latest USA Today Sports coaches poll

The latest USA Today Sports coaches poll was released Sunday, with the Tigers moving down a spot after Week 3.

Clemson (3-0) remained undefeated with their 48-20 win over Louisiana Tech though it didn’t stop them from dropping in this week’s poll. Formerly ranked No.4, Clemson fell to No.5 after Week 3, with Michigan moving into the No.4 slot.

Will Shipley led the Tigers’ offense against Louisiana Tech as he picked up a career-high 139-yards on just 12 carries while scoring two touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, the defensive line wreaked havoc in the run game while the secondary was solid, picking off LA Tech quarterbacks three times.

We will see the Tigers next Saturday, September 24th, when the team heads to Winston-Salem (N.C.) to take on the No.16 ranked Wake Forest.

Clemson vs. LA Tech: Offensive and Defensive Players of the Game

Here are ClemsonWire’s Players of the Game following the Tigers 48-20 win over Louisiana Tech.

Each week ClemsonWire will choose an offensive and defensive Player of the Game following each of the Tigers matchups this season.

In its 48-20 win over Louisiana Tech, Clemson’s passing game came alive. Quarterback DJ Uiagalelei completed 17-for-29 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns while connecting with over ten different receivers.

The Tigers defense kept the Bulldogs out of the end zone for three of the four quarters and recorded seven tackles for a loss, three interceptions, one sack and one fumble recovery.

Here are ClemsonWire’s picks for this week’s offensive and defensive Players of the Game.

Five takeaways from Clemson’s win over Louisiana Tech

What we learned from Clemson’s win over Louisiana Tech.

Clemson improved to 3-0 Saturday as Swinney and the Tigers defeated Louisiana Tech 48-20 in Death Valley.

It was a solid outing for the No.5 ranked Tigers, who showed some good signs against the Bulldogs though it wasn’t a complete performance from Swinney’s team.

Teams will have their struggles this early in the season, so seeing the Tigers overcome theirs and remain undefeated is a clear positive. Game after game, we learn a little bit more about this Clemson team, the things they are doing well, and the things they struggle with the most.

Here are five takeaways I believe to be some of the most important from Clemson’s Week 3 win over Louisiana Tech.

Shipley shines as Clemson defeats Louisiana Tech 48-20

Shipley shows out as Clemson takes down Louisiana Tech.

Dabo Swinney and the Tigers remain undefeated as No.5 Clemson took down Louisiana Tech 48-20 Saturday night at Death Valley.

Starting running back Will Shipley had his best performance of the season, making his impact felt on the game. Shipley took 12 carries for 139 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged 11.6 yards per carry while adding two catches for 14 yards.

DJ Uiagalelei was solid under center for the Tigers completing 17 of 29 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns. He was also active on the ground, running the ball nine times for 62 yards.

On the defensive side of the ball, the unit was somewhat underwhelming though they were missing multiple starters. The defensive line didn’t allow an inch on the ground allowing just 6 yards on 21 attempts. It was through the air where Louisiana Tech did their damage, throwing the ball for 311 yards.

Now 3-0, we will next see Swinney and the Tigers Saturday, Septemeber 24th, when they travel to Winston-Salem (N.C.) to take on Sam Hartman and Wake Forest.

It was a 14-play, 90-yard drive for the Tigers, being one of the best-looking drives of their season so far.

On the drive’s first play, running back Will Shipley showed his explosiveness, breaking off a 27-yard run. He also broke off a nice 9-yard run on 4th and 1 to keep the Tigers’ drive going.

Uiagalelei was solid on the drive, making plays with his feet while delivering some nice passes as well. Freshman wide receiver Adam Randall recorded his first catch as a Tiger on an 11-yard completion.
