Clemson looks to get back on track after dropping their season opener to Georgia when the Tigers take on FCS opponent South Carolina State in Week 2.
Following a devastating Week 1 loss, the initial No. 2 ranked Clemson Tigers now sit at No. 6 in Week 2 Top 25 rankings. Limited to a singular field goal, the Tigers suffered the 10-3 loss due to bruising defensive play on both sides of the ball. While neither team scored a touchdown, a 74-yard interception return for a touchdown from the Bulldogs effectively ended the game.
In order to pave the way for a potential playoff berth, Clemson will need an easy win against the 0-1 South Carolina State Bulldogs.
