Clemson defeats Georgia Southern 22-7 on Saturday night as backup quarterback Tait Reynolds takes over and leads the Tigers on five scoring drives. Reynolds, starting after Christopher Vizzina is injured, throws for 178 yards. T.J. Moore records seven catches for 103 yards and a touchdown, while Nolan Hauser goes 5-for-5 on field goal attempts.
The game is played following a two-hour lightning delay, which shifts the start and tempo. Clemson rebounds after being routed 51-10 by No. 11 LSU the previous week. While all outlets highlight Reynolds’ role in driving Clemson’s offense and Hauser’s perfect kicking, the reporting centers on key individual outputs—Reynolds’ passing yards, Moore’s receiving production, and Clemson’s late conversion of possessions into points—rather than broader team strategy or controversy.
