Stat Pack: A look at where Clemson football ranks in various categories in the ACC, nationally
- Clemson's offense has improved drastically in most categories this season. The Tigers' defense has gotten a good bit worse after it was a top-10 unit in the country last season.
Regardless, Clemson won the ACC for the ninth time in 13 years last weekend, and the Tigers are in the College Football Playoff for the seventh time since its installment in 2014-15.
During the Tigers' third open date of the season, it's a good time to take a look back at how Dabo Swinney's team stacks up nationally and within the conference on the stat sheet.
