CLEMSON, S.C. – Cole Stoudt completed 22 of his 31 passes for 302 yards and No. 23 Clemson scored its highest point total in 33 years in a 73-7 win over South Carolina State on Saturday.

The Tigers (1-1) gained 735 yards against the outmatched FCS Bulldogs (1-1), who were held to 44 yards.

The 73 points were the most scored by the Tigers since an 82-24 win over Wake Forest in 1981 and it was their biggest margin since beating Presbyterian 67-0 in 1957. The Tigers are now 29-0 against FCS teams.

Clemson's goal in this one was simple — get the offense and defense back on track after a disastrous second half in last week's loss to Georgia with No. 1 Florida State up next in two weeks. And the Tigers clicked on both sides of the ball.
