...N!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 14:41:27

Just got the player availability report from Clemson, and everyone but Zanders and Turner will be available! So we'll see Tyler Davis make his season debut. Turner is in good shape, but they are holding him one more week as a precaution. Zanders is out for the season with shoulder surgery.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 16:07:08

Perfect football weather today! Sunny, and it’s gonna feel great in the 2nd half when it dips down into the low 60’s!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 16:16:54

Dixon rips off a first down run on the first play from scrimmage!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 16:17:30

Completion to Ross and a few nice runs by Pace and Shipley give the Tigers 1st and goal!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 16:19:17

TD DJ!!! Designed QB run for first TD of season! Took just over 3 minutes.

TIGERS LEAD 7-0 IN 1ST,

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 16:19:51

D gets a 3 and out! Nice PBU by Booth!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 16:27:35

Big completion to Ross! Had to dive for it.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 16:28:30

Ugh DJ missed a wide open Ross in the end zone! DJ was rolling right and just rushed it, throwing it over his head. Should have been an easy TD!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 16:29:38

Ugh Will Taylor lined up at QB and ran for a TD, but it was called back for a block in the back.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 16:29:56

Will Taylor lined up a QB again.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 16:30:40

TD SHIPLEY!!! First career TD for the true freshman RB!

TIGERS LEAD 14-0 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 16:30:57

D gets another 3 and out!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 16:56:52

What a punt return by Shipley! The TD was called back, but somehow the Tigers got the ball at the 11 yard line for an illegal penalty on the kicking team. Not sure why SC State didn't get to re-punt.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 16:58:19

TD ROSS!!! His first since 2019! Tigers have scored TD's on their first 4 possessions. It ties for third-most points in a quarter. They've scored 31 in a quarter twice.

TIGERS LEAD 28-0 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 16:59:24

SC State picks up its first 1st down of the game just before the quarter ends.

TIGERS LEAD 28-0 AFTER ONE.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:00:15

D forces another punt!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:00:16

D forces another punt!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:00:42

Tigers go 3 and out after an incomplete pass to EJ on 3rd and 6. First punt of game for the Tigers.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:01:31

INT MICKENS!!! He returns it 37 yards to the 44!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:02:21

Ugh DJ gives it right back on a deflected pass INT. His second pick in as many games, but neither was really his fault. Lucky he had to dive for it and it wasn't another pick-six!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:30:53

SC State picks up a first down, but D forces another punt!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:31:56

Shipley runs for 30 yards, and DJ completes to Ngata for 38 yards on the first two plays of the possession! 1st down at the State 16!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:32:08

Ugh false start on Putnam.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:33:18

Complete to EJ for 10 yards! 1st and goal at the 5.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:33:57

TD DJ!!! Another QB run!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:34:56

Swanson kicks off for Tigers and gets a fair catch.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:38:19

State gets to Tigers' 43, but D forces another punt!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:39:43

Ugh Dukes makes a short catch and then fumbles. Recovered by State at Clemson 36. Might cost them the shutout!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:40:43

State drives down to the Clemson 10, but the Tigers hold! 27-yard field goal by State is good.

TIGERS LEAD 35-3 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:43:18

Nice kick return by Shipley for 28 yards.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:43:52

Roughing the passer call gives the Tigers the ball at the SC State 41. Potter out to attempt a 58-yard field goal, which would be a career long.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 17:44:21

Kick is on target, but just a few yards short. That ends the half.

TIGERS LEAD 35-3 AT THE HALF.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 18:03:36

D gets a 3 and out to start the half!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 18:04:04

Whew! Completion to Ngata goes for 7 yards, but he fumbled. Fortunately he was able to recover.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 18:04:21

Complete for 32 yards to Davis Allen! 1st down at the State 34!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 18:08:49

TD SHIPLEY!!! Beautifully executed draw play! 2nd TD of game for the true freshman.

TIGERS LEAD 42-3 IN 3RD.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 18:12:53

D forces yet another 3 and out! Tigers take over at their 37, and Taisun is in at quarterback for the first time this season.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 18:13:33

Nice pass from the far hash to Will Swinney for 8 yards! 3rd and 2 at the 45.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 18:13:47

Dixon picks up the first down.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 18:18:11

Taisun takes the offense to the State 14 with completions to the Collins boys.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 18:18:38

Ugh looked like Will Swinney had a touchdown, but Beaux Collins was called for a hold.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 18:19:32

TD DIXON!!! Completion to Dixon for 14 yards! Nice job by Taisun.

TIGERS LEAD 49-3 IN 3RD.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 19:16:10

State drove all the way down to the Clemson 4, but Keith Maguire broke up the pass to prevent the score! Tigers take over on downs!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 19:16:49

Taisun throws an INT. Great play by the corner.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 19:17:34

D forces a punt!

Taisun back in, but the Tigers have to punt. Swanson punts 42 yards.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 19:18:39

State drives to the Clemson 40, but the D forces another punt!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 19:19:26

Helms in at QB for the first time. 12-yard completion to freshman Troy Stellato for a 1st down.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 19:20:00

Tigers' drive stalls at their 41. Swanson punts for 42 yards again.

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 19:20:37

D forces a 3 and out! Will Taylor in at QB!

CUTrevor 2021-09-11 19:21:40

Taylor runs for 3 yards and 8 yards and then runs out the clock. That's the ball game! I was just 3 points off for each team on my score prediction! Take that, Vegas.

TIGERS WIN 49-3!!!

I'll have Dabo and post-game interviews in a bit!
