Troy vs. Clemson: Live Score, Highlights for Trojans vs. Tigers

Clemson 30, Troy 24—Final

It didn't go the way the experts predicted, but the Clemson Tigers escaped with a 30-24 win over the Troy Trojans on Saturday. The Tigers held a 27-10 lead, but the Trojans fought hard in the fourth quarter and were an onside kick away from a potential upset. 

The Tigers, who were a huge favorite in this matchup, per Odds Shark, led by just three points at the half. The Clemson offense was limited all day, and quarterback Deshaun Watson never found a rhythm with his wide receivers. Troy held Clemson to just 25 yards rushing in the first half, and the Tigers finished the game with just 122 yards on the ground. 

Watson finished the game 27-of-53 passing for 292 yards and three touchdowns, but he also threw two interceptions.

The Trojans were led offensively by wide receiver Deondre Douglas, who finished with 11 catches for 93 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Brandon Silvers was 24-of-42 passing for 233 yards and two touchdowns. 

Clemson (2-0) will take on South Carolina State at home next week, while Troy (1-1) will travel to Southern Miss.
