What a frickin' drive by Clemson.

Clemson executes well on its first possession. Antonio Williams busts the Texas coverage: nobody followed him across the field, and he waltzed in for the score. The Tigers are up 7-0.

Clemson methodically sliced and diced their way down the field on the opening drive. With Texas setting up to prevent the big play, Klubnik did a good job keeping his composure and taking what the defense gave him. He's matured a lot this year and it's showing.

Also note that true freshman running back David Eziomume has jumped to No. 2 behind Mafah. I expect we will see him get +20 snaps today.

Texas answers with a 12-play, 75-yard scoring drive. Longhorns convert a 4th-and-1 on that first drive and eventually tie the game at 7.

Huge play from Sammy Brown to force the turnover on downs. Clemson does punt it back away on the ensuing drive. It's 21-7 Texas with 3:19 to go in Q2.

Helms makes another big play. Touchdown Texas. It's 28-10 Longhorns and they get the ball back after halftime. Clemson's defense must regroup at halftime.
