  Clemson's offense continued to look out of sorts as D.J. Uiagalelei completed 21 of 44 passes for 241 yards a touchdown and an interception in the Tigers 44-7 win over UConn on Saturday. An easy win has been a rarity for Clemson (7-3) in this unusual season, but the victory over one of the worst teams in FBS didn't answer a lot of questions. "We didn't play to that standard today. We'll take accountability for it and work on it," Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliot said. Uiagalelei continued to struggle overthrowing receivers. He played for two-and-a-half quarters despite a sprained knee ligament that left him hobbling at the end of last week's win over Louisville. The sophmore did lead Clemson to touchdowns on his final two drives of the day, an 88-yard drive just before half that took 34 seconds and the opening drive of the third quarter, "I like how he finished," Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said. Receiver Dacari Collins said it isn't all Uiagalelei's fault. "From day one, we've got to do better catching the ball," he said.

Clemson scored two touchdowns on its first eight drives. One score came on a fake field goal and the other as backup quarterback Taisun Phommachanh took over for four plays before leaving with what appeared to be a shoulder injury. "There would have been a lot more opportunities for Taisun if he had been available," said Elliot, who also said that Uiagalelei is still "our guy." Uiagalelei averages nine carries a game, but rushed just once Saturday, a 1-yard sneak on 4th-and-1 in the third quarter. It may have been another costly win for the Tigers, who at times have been without 18 scholarship players. - Clemson/AP College Football
