Third-ranked Clemson’s defense shows improvement

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) âone space€one space” Clemson cornerbacks Martin Jenkins and Darius Robinson are glad to finally make contributions on the field. The two had interception returns for touchdowns in the first half as the third-ranked Tigers (2-0) turned a tight game into a 52-13 blowout over FCS opponent South Carolina State on Saturday. Jenkins missed last season with a hernia injury while Robinson broke his ankle in midseason and missed the final six games. The friends collaborated on a rap song they hoped would be a Clemson anthem, “We Too Deep.” They’re much happier after making a difference in stopping opponents and winning games for the Tigers. Jenkins had a 52-yard interception return TD. Robinson’s went for 35 yards. It was the first time in Clemson history the Tigers have had two pick-6 scores.
