And Elyjah Thurmon is down after one play for Clemson. He is starting on the offensive line as Tristan Leigh and Marcus Tate are out today -- they did not make the trip.

RJ Mickens makes a great tackle on the bubble screen and Clemson gets a quick three-and-out after the turnover. Pitt going with Nate Yarnell at quarterback today.

10:59 1Q no score as we go to the first TV timeout of the afternoon.

Clemson 7, Pitt 0 after Cade Klubnik's 14-yard strike to Antonio Williams on a slant. Klubnik off to a great start against Pitt in the passing game, currently 7-of-8 for 88 yards against a Pitt defense that will bring a lot of heat today.

7:20 to play in the first quarter.

Timeout Pitt. They have it 3rd and goal with 5:31 to play in the first quarter. Desmond Reid with a 43-yard gain to set it up. Clemson leads 7-0.

Touchdown Pitt. Daniel Carter scores from 2 yards out. Aveion Terrell gets a pass interference penalty on the play before

5 plays, 75 yards in 1:58. Panthers making light work of Clemson's defense as they tie the game at 7.

Clemson will be forced to punt on 3rd and long. Klubnik tried to scramble and get some yards but it's well short of the marker. Two drops on the drive hurt, especially one by Jake Briningstool on 2nd down. Pitt is determined to take away Phil Mafah so the challenge is on Clemson's receivers to win their matchups and catch the ball.

Pitt with the ball now with 2:30 and counting. We are tied at 7.

And of course, the injuries on the offensive line doesn't help either.

Pitt will be forced to punt after the underneath shallow crosser falls just out of reach of the receiver.

1:04 left to play first quarter. Tigers about to get the ball back with the game tied at 7.

Cade Klubnik tries to scramble but he is forced out of bounds on the Pitt sideline. Punting time for the Tigers.

14:20 to play before the half.

Touchdown Clemson. Cade Klubnik finds Antonio Williams wide open for a 28-yard completion. Williams made his way to the middle of the field in the void in the coverage. If the Tigers can find time against the zero coverage that Pitt wants to bring, look out.

3 plays, 75 yards and the Tigers take a 14-7 lead.

Great defensive play by Barrett Carter to knock that ball down. WR was open. Clemson football at the 12-yard line.

Cade Denhoff with the sack on 2nd down and then Barrett Carter gets a hand on the ball on 3rd down to force the incompletion. Clemson gets the ball back with 8:38 left before the half, leading 14-7.

A long 59-yard field goal attempt for Pitt is wide right. Clemson ball with 4:11 to play in the first half, leading 14-7.

Three straight offsides penalties as it was 3rd and 26 for Clemson, but now it's 3rd and 6.

Cade Klubnik can't find Bryant Wesco on the low throw and the Tigers will punt.

Pitt will get the ball back with 2:31 to play, trailing 14-7.

Sammy Brown is ejected as he hit Pitt QB Nate Yarnell in the chest on third down, and is called for targeting.

Clemson's linebacking core has gotten thin very quick with Wade Woodaz and now Brown out.

The 51-yard field goal attempt for Nolan Hauser is good. The kicking game has been an adventure as we've seen over the last two weeks.

HALFTIME | Clemson 17, Pitt 7

Panthers will get the ball to start the second half so that was a big score for the Tigers.

Dabo Swinney told ESPN Molly McGrath in the halftime interview that Elyjah Thurmon is likely done for the season with the injury on the first play of the game. Really tough news for the first time starter.
