No. 16 Clemson Seeking To Regain Offensive Spark

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris laid things out as clearly as he could for the Tigers after their dismal, scoreless second half in a 45-21 loss at No. 12 Georgia this weekend: Morris and the Tigers had few complaints in the first half when his high-tempo attack ran 54 plays, put up 276 yards and was tied with the Bulldogs 21-all heading to the locker room. The Tigers have won two career meetings against the Bulldogs, including a 52-13 victory last week when quarterback Cole Stoudt completed a school record of 19 of 20 passes for 143 yards and three TDs in relief of Tajh Boyd. Stoudt, making his first career start as Boyd's replacement, took responsibility for the offensive troubles and vowed he and his teammates would solve their issues. Morris acknowledged he called a conservative game plan in the third period with Clemson trailing 24-21 and not wanting to make any mistakes that would put the Tigers defense at a disadvantage on a short field. The Tigers get some help along the offensive line this week with the return of left guard David Beasley, a 6-foot-4, 330-pound senior who missed the Georgia loss because of a suspension handed down by coach Dabo Swinney in March. Stoudt was disappointed in losing his first career start and has stayed away from those on the Internet or radio calling for five-star freshman Deshaun Watson to play now.
