Halftime recap: Georgia Tech vs. Clemson

Things didn’t start well for Georgia Tech at Clemson on Saturday night.

The Tigers added another score on Kelly Bryant’s 20-yard touchdown pass to Milan Richard late in the first quarter.

Clemson’s final score of the half came on a short touchdown run by Travis Etienne, giving the Tigers a 21-3 lead going into halftime.
