The 5-0 Tigers travel to Boston College this weekend, where they will look to remain perfect in the standings and the red zone. The Eagles are allowing teams to score in the red zone a whopping 85% of the time, so look for the Tigers to add to their record.

It is worth noting the massive improvement Clemson has made in the red zone compared to the 2021 season. In 2021, the Tigers only scored in the red zone 80% of the time, good for 89th in the nation.

Improved QB play and TE production have greatly impacted the Clemson offense, especially in the red zone. Sophomore RB Will Shipley has also greatly contributed with 7 rushing TDs.
