CLEMSON, S.C. _ Clemson players said leading up to Saturday's game against Texas A&M that the matchup was "personal" after the Tigers' defense was embarrassed by the Aggies a year ago.
Clemson's defense certainly played with an edge during its dominating performance Saturday afternoon.
The Tigers held the Texas A&M offense and quarterback Kellen Mond in check in a 24-10 victory at Death Valley.
The top-ranked Tigers led 17-3 at halftime and cruised to the victory after allowing Mond to throw for three touchdowns in the final two quarters in 2018.
Tigers quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 24 of 35 passes for 268 yards, with one touchdown and one interception against the Aggies. His favorite target on the day was sophomore receiver Justyn Ross, who had seven catches for 94 yards and a score.
