The St. Francis (PA) Red Flash got their boots smoked in their season opener, and this game doesn’t get any easier. The Red Flash just don’t have the offensive depth to crack this Clemson defensive pressure. The Clemson Tigers didn’t have the easiest opening matchup, but the experience and talent are there, and they need to take advantage of games like this if it’s going to be a factor in the ACC this season.
