The game was marked by defensive prowess from both sides. The Clemson defense managed to sack the opposing quarterback once and recorded an interception, showcasing their ability to disrupt plays. However, it was not enough to secure a win for the home team. The Tigers' offense struggled throughout the game, with only one successful field goal from 22 yards out marking their only points on the board.


The Clemson punting unit was kept busy with eight attempts totaling 331 yards; however, none resulted in blocked kicks or touchdowns. On offense, passing proved challenging for Clemson as they completed just over half of their pass attempts for an average gain of three yards per play and no touchdowns. Their rushing efforts were stifled as well, managing a mere two yards on 23 attempts.

Penalties played a role in this tightly contested game as well; though not excessive in number with seven infractions costing them 59 yards. In terms of efficiency within scoring range, Clemson had one red zone appearance which they capitalized on but failed to convert any points from third down situations more than two-thirds of the time.


As for special teams performance aside from punting duties – there was little impact made during kickoffs or punt returns by either side throughout this defensive battle.
