CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- The offense for No. 18 Clemson has expanded beyond Tiger stars C.J. Spiller and Jacoby Ford.
The Tigers seemed to rely too much on their pair of senior playmakers, who accounted for nine of the team's 11 touchdowns during its 2-3 start. However, Clemson (7-3, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) has expanded its playbook to bring in many other performers during a five-game winning streak that has it a victory away from clinching the ACC's Atlantic Division.
The Tigers can advance to the league championship game with a win over Virginia (3-7, 2-4) at Death Valley on Saturday.
Clemson is averaging more than 42 points a game during that stretch, almost doubling their scoring average in its first five games.
