A little factoid. On game day Clemson becomes the third largest city in SC. The Terps come into this 3-1, while the Cyber Terps are still undefeated on the season. There is a light rain coming down here in Death Valley. Look for turnovers. They say MD is overmatched and James Davis is going to make all the difference. Corso dons the Tiger head. Hopefully the head is on a spit by the end of the game!! Clemson will kickoff, Buchholz kicks to Kenny Tate and he returns it from the 10 to the 34. Scott get the carry straight up the gut for 2. Play action pass falls incomplete, doesn't matter holding on the Terps. 2nd and 18.
