Tigers flourish on third down

RALEIGH - Kyle Parker was stunned - not because he had not seen receiver Xavier Dye, but that Dye had managed to corral Parker's laser from short range.

On a pass intended for receiver Jacoby Ford some 10 yards further downfield, Dye made a nifty grab and converted a third-and 5 with a 17-yard gain.

Clemson completed a season-high 60 percent of its third downs in Saturday's 43-23 victory at N.C. State, but the way the Tigers did it was just as impressive.

Four of the conversions came on completions of 16 yards or longer, demonstrating a downfield passing attack that has augmented the Tigers' newfound offense.

After Dye's 17-yarder, Parker threw over a dropping linebacker to connect with tight end Michael Palmer for 22 yards on third-and-7. Ford's 47-yard deep ball down the middle was on third-and-11, and with the Tigers in danger of giving N.C. State the ball back while holding a 30-17 lead early in the fourth quarter, Parker escaped pressure in the pocket and hit Palmer for 16 yards on third-and-3.

Commentary: Clemson learning what it takes to be a winner

RALEIGH | CLINCHING A DIVISION title Saturday would have been nice, but some will say it would be better to get the job done at home.

That's what awaits the Clemson football team and its fans Saturday when the Tigers play their last home game of the season, against Virginia.

Maybe, after 18 years, that elusive 'C' word will fit them.

A division championship, which would be its first, is one victory from becoming a reality, and with it will come the chance to play for something bigger - an ACC championship.

"I told 'em before the game, championship teams take care of business," said Clemson coach Dabo Swinney after the Tigers whipped North Carolina State 43-23. "I asked them, 'Do you think you're ready to be champions? We'll find out today by the way you play.'"

Tigers blast NC State

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Before his team stepped onto the field at Carter-Finley Stadium on Saturday, Dabo Swinney asked his football team if it was ready to be a champion. Saying it and demonstrating it are two different things, yet Clemson walked out and proved it in a 43-23 pounding of N.C. State
