“Tigers” feast on “Owls”

Davis scores 3 TD’s to lead the way

Bank of America Stadium - Charlotte, N.C.

 

James Davis currently leads the ACC in rushing with over 600 yards and in scoring with 11 touchdowns.
With a big ACC match-up looming next weekend against the No. 12 ranked Georgia Tech “Yellow Jackets” the No. 11 ranked Clemson “Tigers” rolled into Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. and quickly disposed of the winless Temple “Owls”.

Former Douglass-Atl H.S. star and last years ACC “Freshman of the Year” James Davis who currently leads the ACC in rushing with over 600 yards and in scoring with 11 touchdowns added to his totals rushing for 138-yards on 9 carries and he scored 3 touchdowns in the 1st half against Temple.

 

Temple took the opening kick-off and drove down the field to take a 3-0 lead on a 27-yard field goal by K-Jake Brownwell. After that it was all Clemson, Davis carried four straight times for 39-yards and a touchdown to give the “Tigers” a 7-0 lead.

 

Clemson recovered a Temple fumble at the “Owls” 34-yard line and went right back to work. Up and coming freshman star RB-C.J. Spiller spelled Davis and followed up with four straight carries of his own, culminating with a short touchdown run that made the score 14-3.

 

QB-Will Proctor threw a pair of TD's in the lopsided win.
Davis and Spiller took turns swapping touchdown run as Clemson opened up a 28-3 lead early in the 2nd quarter. Clemson quarterback Will Proctor added to the scoring parade when he connected with FB-Alex Pearson for 6-yards and a touchdown. K-Jad Dean added his fifth PAT to up the lead to 35-0.

Davis finished off a big 1st half when he busted loose for 64-yards and his third touchdown of the game. The “Tigers” all but finished off the “Owls” and the half when Proctor hit freshman speedster WR-Jacoby Ford for 55-yards and a touchdown to give Clemson a commanding 49-0 halftime lead.

 

Former Sequoyah H.S. star QB-Cullen Harper (RS Soph.) and former Chattahoochee H.S. star WR-Nelson Faerber (Junior) started the 2nd half as Coach Bowden rested his starters. Faerber fell on a fumble in the endzone to score the first touchdown in the 2nd half as the “Tigers” went on to a lopsided 63-9 win.
