Here is a look at Saturday’s Clemson-Appalachian State game by the numbers…

2: Number of negative yardage plays for Clemson’s offense last week. Both were sacks attributed to Nick Schuessler, meaning none of those plays were designed runs. That is a testament to the proficiency of the Tigers up front. The group was led by veteran Ryan Norton, who graded out at a perfect 100 percent before going out with an injury. No one graded poorly in the entire group, and although Wofford certainly will not be Clemson’s toughest test, a young crew up front did not show any signs of shakiness. That is a good sign moving forward.

4.03: Clemson’s defense allowed this many yards per play last season. If this level of performance was good enough for one of the most dominant defenses in school history, it should be good enough for the next group in line. Last week against Wofford, the Tigers held the Terriers to 213 yards on 63 plays—an average of 3.38 yards per play. Five times last season, the Clemson defense did better than that on a per-play basis, but eight times, it did not. It was a solid start for the 2015 version.

38: Many fans of both teams are looking at Appalachian State’s seven-game winning streak dating back to last season as an indicator of progress in the Mountaineers’ second season at the FBS level. However, those wins have come against teams from the Sun Belt or from the FCS ranks. The last time the Mountaineers played against a Power 5 team was last season’s opener against Michigan—a 52-14 loss to a team that ended up firing its coach. App State is better now, but that 38-point beatdown seems more indicative of what Clemson can do if it plays well.

59.5: Percentage of pass plays for which Deshaun Watson was on the field in the opener. The quarterback position is not a timeshare. Watson will monopolize the load in the more competitive games, so this is certainly not indicative of a season-long trend. However, if the Tigers can take care of business early, it would not be altogether shocking to see Watson only throw 60 percent or so of the passes once again in an effort to get Schuessler and Kelly Bryant more snaps.

81,500: Official capacity of Memorial Stadium. Every one of those seats was accounted for—either by a fan in attendance or a buyer—last week, and every one of them will be accounted for once again on Saturday. In fact, all tickets have been sold for every home game except Wake Forest, and it stands to reason that game would be sold out eventually since it is Senior Day. Two factors are at play here that have fan interest at an all-time high: Watson is that good and that popular, and the expectations for the season have soared. It all adds up to a lucrative day at the box office for Clemson athletics.
