It was all defense in the first half of spring game

The defenses came out to play in Clemson’s Orange and the White spring game as the Orange team leads the White team 7-3 at the end of the first half.

It was a slow-paced first half as neither offense found a way to put together an inspiring drive. Both Jonathan Weitz’s 29-yard field goal for the White team and Phil Mafah’s 6-yard touchdown rush for the Orange team were products of muffed snaps on punts. If the punters hadn’t made these mistakes, the game would have likely been 0-0 heading into the half.

While K.J. Henry put on a show for the White team’s defense, Myles Murphy did the same for the Orange team. In just one half of play, Henry racked up 3.5 sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss as Murphy contributed three sacks to go along with four tackles for loss.

The defenses combined for nine sacks to go along with seventeen tackles for loss in just a half of football and I’m sure the guys on the defensive lines would argue there were more.

Both sophomore DJ Uiagalelei and Freshman Cade Klubnik have struggled to get their offenses going in the much-awaited quarterback battle. Uiagalelei went 10-24 for 116 yards in the first half, while Klubnik completed 13-19 passes for 93 yards.
