CHAPEL HILL— The offense for the Clemson Tigers was supposed to be a juggernaut this season.

With the return of quarterback Trevor Lawrence, wide receivers Tee Higgins, Justyn Ross, Amari Rodgers joined by true freshmen Joe Ngata and Frank Ladson Jr. with a running back tandem featuring the most prolific running back in school history, Travis Etienne, and an upstart sophomore in Lyn-J Dixon, many around the nation had pegged the Tigers as potentially the greatest offense in history.

But though the first five games, they have looked just OK. Some may say, even pedestrian.

But even in the midst of an unexplainably slow-start to the season, they are focused on just keeping going.

"We can't get down. We got to keep it going, always," Higgins said after the Tigers 21-20 win at North Carolina. "And we was able to keep it going and we can't let a bad play effect how we play, so we just got to keep it going and that's how we play."

The Tigers have not been in a close game in the fourth quarter in nearly a year. But for Higgins and the rest of the Tiger offense, it doesn't matter if it is the first quarter or the fourth quarter every play is a huge play in the game.

"Well I feel like every play is (the biggest play)," Higgins said. "It could be 1st quarter, it could be, that play could win the game. You never know which play can win the game so you got to go out there with that mentality, just go out there and every play is a game winning play.

"We'll definitely, we going to learn from the tape. We going to go out on Monday and just go over what we did wrong, what we did right and just learn from it and practice well next week, and come out and be ready for Florida State."

Regardless of whether or not the Tigers win by one point or 50 points, they are going to celebrate like they won the national championship because, if Saturday showed them anything, it is hard to win in college football.
"A win is a win. We celebrate wins and we was in there dancing just like always," Higgins said. "You'll se it on our social media accounts but yeah, we was in there dancing

"You just got to go out there and just... I mean, it's fun. These games are fun and just go out there and have fun. So that's really all I can say."
