3rd. down plays was the key to victory.

Clemson 2-11 on 3rd...0-1 on 4th.

Syracuse 8-19 on 3rd. and 2-2 on 4th.

We have to be moving up in 3rd. down efficiency on D.

D's been incredible on 3rd downs this year.

There was a time you had to hope we had them at 3 and 12 or greater to have a chance of getting off the field. Now, 8 out of 10 times, they're coming off the field. It's almost a given. Unbelievable turn around.

The defense on 3rd down was amazing, seems like in years past that was what ultimately killed us. This team just doesn't stop with the intensity.
