Clemson will wrap up its College Football Betting regular season on Saturday. Specifically, the Tigers host the upstart underdog South Carolina Gamecocks. Previously, South Carolina was considered to be a sure win for the Tigers. But that is no longer the case. In fact, the Gamecocks are in the College Football Playoff conversation. Thus, Saturday’s matchup at Clemson is a virtual College Football Playoff game.

Initially, Clemson’s first possession of the game resulted in a touchdown after just five plays and 1:47. Subsequently, the game pace was set. The Tigers continued their domination of the Bulldogs throughout the entire game. It was during the Bulldogs’ second possession that Clemson DT Payton Page intercepted the ball for a 57-yard return. In turn it resulted in Clemson’s second touchdown.
Following Page’s interception, every remaining Clemson possession in the first half resulted in a touchdown and extra point for the Tigers. Clemson’s defense was relentless, forcing two punts and a fumble for The Citadel. It wasn’t until after the half that the Bulldogs were able to put some points on the board.
Clemson’s starting quarterback, Cade Klubnik, was 12 for 16, throwing for 198 yards and three TDs. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs’ quarterback was only 2 for 10 and 90 yards with one TD and one INT. Clemson led in all aspects of the game. To show, the Tigers totaled 562 yards as opposed to the Bulldogs’ 387. While each team threw an interception, Clemson’s offense was able to outperform The Citadel by leaps and bounds.
