ATLANTA — It didn't start out pretty, but No. 4 Clemson's football team did what it had to do as it pulled away from Georgia Tech in the second half to win 41-10 in Monday night's version of the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game.
For quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei, it was redemption from last season's opening-game disappointment as he went 19 of 32 for 209 yards, while also running for 28 yards.
