Despite their defeat, Georgia Tech saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays.

Clemson hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 77.6 points per game. However, it’s not like Georgia Tech struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 75.6. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.

Does Clemson have another victory up their sleeve, or will Georgia Tech turn the tables on them? We’ll have the answeOur staff has been hard at work on our roster, and we look forward to solidifying our defensive coordinator position to help lead this extremely talented group as we pursue our goals for 2025,” Swinney said.

 

Clemson was originally believed to be targeting Tennessee defensive coordinator Tim Banks – who had been eyed for the same position at Miami. Banks is staying in Knoxville, however. Subsequent reports indicated the Tigers were looking at Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden, but he is said to be eyeing a job in the NFL.

 

Plan C? According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Swinney is working to hire Penn State coordinator Tom Allen. Penn State reached the semi-finals of the expanded College Football Playoff (CFP) before falling to Notre Dame.

“Family geography loomed large in Allen’s decision, as (moving to Clemson) would position the Allen family closer to their two daughters, who live in the Carolinas,” Thamel reported. “Allen’s son, Thomas Allen, would likely join the Clemson staff as well in some type of analyst role. He works at Penn State as a defensive analyst and analytics coordinator.”r soon enough.
