CLEMSON, S.C. – Clemson defended their home field coming off a bye week with a 37-0 victory over Charleston Southern on Saturday afternoon. The game marked the end of the nonconference schedule for the Buccaneers as they will end the regular season with five consecutive conference contests.

The Tigers were able to score on each of their first five possessions of the game using two field goals, three offensive touchdowns and a special teams touchdown to jump out to a 34-0 lead heading into halftime.

Charleston Southern's offense was able to have two of their first three drives go into Clemson territory and set up field goal attempts. The Bucs missed on a 50 yard attempt and dropped a hold later in the first half on an attempt that was from 35 yards out.

In the second half, the Bucs limited the Tigers to just three points. Additionally, the Charleston Southern defense came up with a pair of interceptions to stall drives from the hosts.

Jared Echols finished the day 7-12 for 50 yards through the air. Hakeem Watters added 46 yards on the ground including a long of 18. Maxwell Warren led the team in receiving with five catches for 38 yards.

Taivon Snipe led the team in tackles with 10 for a career-high. Steve Zayachkowsky and Avery Dixon each had seven while Champ Brantley added six on the day. Mylan Bowen and Kason Hooks each had an interception during the afternoon with Bowen catching his with one hand and returning it for 45 yards while Hooks' came in the endzone for a touchback. Shaun Hamilton had a forced fumble in the game as well.

Charleston Southern will begin a five-week sprint to the end of the regular season next weekend as they return to Ohio Valley play on Saturday. The kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. EST at Tennessee State with the game to be available live on ESPN+. After this, the Bucs will be home for three consecutive weeks playing Western Illinois (10/31), UT Martin (11/7) and Southeast Missouri State (11/14) before hitting the road for Eastern Illinois (11/21) in the regular season finale.
