Although, that score won't tell the whole story. If one were to study the statistics for this game, one would assume that Clemson won easily.

The Tigers had over a hundred yards more than the Volunteers, had 14 additional first downs, and had ownership

Clemson also played a much fairer game, with four fallouts for 45 yards compared to Tennessee's nine for 110 yards.

what went wrong for the Tigers? Well, they didn't know how to take advantage of their opportunities.
