Bounce back: No. 7 Clemson, Bryant rebound for 24-10 victory

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Kelly Bryant spent two weeks wondering about himself and his team after Clemson's loss at Syracuse. Both he and seventh-ranked Tigers put the doubts to rest against Georgia Tech. Clemson's banged-up quarterback passed for two touchdowns and 207 yards as the Tigers topped the Yellow Jackets 24-10 on Saturday night, rebounding from the team's first loss of the season and regaining momentum on the try for a second straight national championship. "Our players were ready," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. "They were locked in." Especially Bryant, the dynamic junior who had left Clemson's past two games with injuries. He sprained his left ankle in the win over Wake Forest on Oct. 7, then suffered a concussion in the second quarter at Syracuse, where the Tigers lost 27-24 two weeks back. "We needed this," Bryant said.
