As the Clemson Tigers prepare to face off against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, fans are eager to see if their team can replicate past performances and secure another victory.

Looking back at their game on December 29, 2021, against Iowa State Cyclones, the Tigers managed a narrow win with a score of 20-13. Despite one turnover and five penalties costing them 60 yards, they maintained possession for over half an hour and averaged 4.3 yards per play. Their rushing game was particularly effective with an average of 3.2 yards on 40 attempts and securing one touchdown.


In another dominant display on November 28, 2021, against South Carolina Gamecocks, Clemson showcased its offensive prowess by shutting out their opponents with a resounding score of 30-0. The rushing attack was relentless with an average gain of over six yards per attempt resulting in three touchdowns. The defense also stood tall by not allowing any points and intercepting two passes.


The most impressive performance came on November 20 when they decimated Wake Forest Demon Deacons with a staggering scoreline of 48-27. The offense was firing on all cylinders as they amassed over seven yards per play from scrimmage totaling an impressive tally of over five hundred total yards for the day.


These past games paint a picture of a team that is capable both offensively and defensively; however, it's crucial to note that turnovers have been an issue for Clemson as seen in these games where they gave up possession multiple times.


Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will certainly pose challenges; yet based on recent performances by both teams and considering Clemson's ability to control possession time while maximizing yardage gains both through air and ground attacks – there is reason for optimism among Tiger fans.


The upcoming battle scheduled for September sixth promises to be thrilling as it unfolds under Atlanta skies at Mercedes-Benz Stadium come midnight kickoff time according to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Fans won't want to miss this encounter which will be broadcasted live on ESPN channel number two hundred six.
