Clemson gets its chance to turn a week of corrections into results Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.
The Tigers host Charleston Southern at noon ET on ACC Network, returning from an open date with a 3-2 record and questions to answer about their consistency. After a 41-13 home loss to Miami, Dabo Swinney’s team will look to establish control early and deliver a more complete performance.
Much of the attention will fall on Clemson’s offense, particularly its ability to protect freshman quarterback Tait Reynolds and sustain drives. The Tigers surrendered six sacks against the Hurricanes, making improvement up front a priority as they prepare for the remainder of their ACC schedule.
Reynolds nevertheless posted a season-high 295 passing yards
in that defeat. His connection with Bryant Wesco Jr., who caught nine passes for 152 yards, provided one of Clemson’s brighter spots. Getting more production around that pairing would help the Tigers find a steadier rhythm.
Charleston Southern enters at 3-3 following a 49-39 victory over South Carolina State. Quarterback Jared Echols threw three touchdown passes in that matchup, giving Clemson’s defense an opponent coming off a productive offensive outing.
