What happened

ESPN RECAP

Clemson makes short work of Georgia Tech

CLEMSON, S.C. -- No. 6 Clemson is out to show its old reputation is a thing of the past. The Tigers hope a win over Georgia Tech on Saturday helped them build their case. Deshaun Watson threw his most yards this season and two touchdowns to tight end Jordan Leggett , Wayne Gallman had his third-straight 100-yard game and two rushing touchdowns and the Tigers' defense held the Yellow Jackets to their fewest rushing yards in coach Paul Johnson's tenure for a 43-24 win. On the same soggy field where they beat Notre Dame last week, Clemson (2-0 ACC) improved to 5-0 for the third time in five seasons. Those other two teams -- 8-0 in 2011 and 6-0 in 2013 -- could not keep their edge after their hot starts. Maybe this group has more staying power. Left guard Eric Mac Lain said the Tigers came out eager to keep the momentum from last week's 24-22 win against the No.
