Clemson offense struggles in 22-7 victory over Georgia Southern
Summary

Clemson defeated Georgia Southern 22-7 on September 12 at home, though the Tigers' offensive performance remained stagnant. Quarterback Christopher Vizzina left the game with an arm injury during the first three drives, forcing Tait Reynolds to play the remainder of the contest. The Clemson offense converted only 2 of 14 third-down attempts and relied on five field goals from kicker Nolan Hauser to score. While running backs Gideon Davidson and Chris Johnson Jr. combined for 115 rushing yards, the passing game managed only 197 yards. Head coach Dabo Swinney cited 10 penalties and poor red-zone execution as primary concerns as the team prepares for its first ACC matchup.
