The Clemson Tigers football team then saw their defense wake up as well. They scored back-to-back sacks on the following drive, setting a new tone in the second half. The Auburn Tigers’ defense stepped up at every turn, forcing two fumbles in the game but the offense couldn’t take advantage of Clemson’s mistake.
