Clemson starting defensive end Xavier Thomas is expected to miss a third consecutive game since suffering a concussion at practice last month. Tigers coach Dabo Swinney says Thomas has made significant progress since entering the concussion protocol before No. 4 Clemson's 45-10 victory at Louisville three weeks ago. However, the team plans to hold him out Saturday against Wofford of the Football Championship Subdivision. Thomas had started four of the team's first six games before getting hurt. The 6-foot-2, 265-pound sophomore from Florence is third on the Tigers with 4+ tackles for loss. Clemson (8-0) is looking for its 24th consecutive victory when it takes on Wofford (5-2). - AP College Football

Diondre Overton finally got his moment. It came in Clemson's best offensive showing of the season. The reserve receiver, who had only four touchdowns in his previous three seasons, caught three scoring passes to help the fourth-ranked Tigers win their 23rd straight game, 59-7 over Boston College on Saturday night. Travis Etienne ran for three TDs as Clemson built a 38-7 by halftime on the way to their fourth 8-0 start in five seasons. And Overton, part of two Clemson national title teams, at last had a starring role. "Like I told my team, it's just been a long time coming," he said, smiling.

Overton had scoring catches of 22, 63 and 34 yards, nearly equaling his career mark coming in. He finished with a career-best 119 yards receiving as part of what Swinney said was Clemson's most complete game of the season. "I could've transferred, could've left, could've let my team down," Overton said. "But I just kept the faith." Etienne had scoring runs of 3, 4 and 5 yards as the Tigers (6-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) easily extended their program best streak. They jumped on the Eagles (4-4, 2-3) early and never let up -- Clemson had the ball six times in the first 30 minutes and scored each time. "I think the offense set the tone tonight," Swinney said. "We wanted the offense to be fast and efficient and that's what we had tonight." Trevor Lawrence completed 16 of 19 passes for 275 yards with three touchdowns. - Clemson/AP College Football

Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons, a contender for ACC defensive player of the year, leads the Tigers in about every defensive metric you can think of with 56 tackles, six sacks and 10 stops behind the line of scrimmage. He said he is hardest on himself when he makes an error and Tigers defensive coordinator Brent Venables does not try to boost Simmons' spirits. "I usually agree with him," Venables joked. "I'm hard on him, too." - AP College Football

Clemson defensive end Xavier Thomas is expected to return this week from concussion protocol when the No. 4 Tigers play Boston College. Says defensive coordinator Brent Venables: "I think he probably will, but we'll see." Thomas was hurt during practice and did not travel for Clemson's 45-10 win over Louisville. The 265-pound sophomore has started four of the first six games for Clemson (7-0, 5-0 Atlantic Coast Conference). He's tied for third on the team with 4.5 tackles for loss and with six quarterback pressures. Justin Foster started in his place against Louisville and was named the ACC defensive lineman of the week with two sacks. - AP College Football

Preseason No. 1 teams commonly relinquish the top spot without losing, but the extent of Clemson's fall is unusual. The last preseason No. 1 to drop as far or farther without a loss or tie was Oklahoma in 1977. The Sooners slipped from first to fifth after opening the season with a 25-23 victory over Vanderbilt. Oklahoma started climbing the very next week and reached No. 1 again before losing its fifth game of the season to Texas in mid-October. One has to go all the way back to 1971 to find a similar drop to Clemson's for a preseason No. 1. Notre Dame started that season top ranked and won its first five games, slipping to No. 7 while doing so. Maybe voters' suspicions of the Irish were justified: Notre Dame lost twice in the second half of the regular season to finish 8-2 and ranked No. 13. - AP College Football

Because Clemson's Trevor Lawrence isn't prone to mistakes, the two early interceptions he threw against Louisville were a bit puzzling. He put both miscues behind him to guide the Tigers to another rout. Lawrence threw three touchdown passes, Travis Etienne rushed for 192 yards and a score and No. 3 Clemson beat Louisville 45-10 on Saturday for its 22nd consecutive victory. Darien Rencher and Chez Mellusi added rushing touchdowns for the Tigers (7-0, 5-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who missed first-quarter chances to build a big lead when Lawrence was intercepted twice near the goal line.

Lawrence settled down to hit Joseph Ngata and Justyn Ross with second-quarter touchdowns for a 17-3 halftime lead. Both passes were almost in the same spot near the goalpost stanchion, high enough for his receivers to snag over defenders. Lawrence, who had thrown one interception in his previous three games, said he wanted to "really just show the guys I still got confidence to throw it, and I'm still going to try to make all the throws even though I had made two really bad plays. The guys were confident in me and had my back." Lawrence's 10-yard pass to Cornell Powell made it 31-3, and he finished 20 of 29 for 233 yards. He also rushed 10 times for 47 yards. Etienne had his most productive rushing game since he ran for a career-high 205 yards against Georgia Tech in the opener. Dominant as Clemson appeared, coach Dabo Swinney said Louisville made his team work for the win. "They really played us tough," Swinney said. "We knew this was a game we were going to have to eventually knock them out because they were not going to give up." - Clemson/AP College Football

Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdown passes, two to Justyn Ross, and No. 2 Clemson answered any lingering questions from its close call at North Carolina, winning its 21st straight game by pounding Florida State 45-14 on Saturday. The Tigers and coach Dabo Swinney faced two weeks of questions about why the defending national champions needed a last-minute stop on a 2-point conversion to escape the Tar Heels with a 21-20 win. Everything from Lawrence's health to Travis Etienne's fumble-itis (he had a key one to keep North Carolina in the game) came under scrutiny as many wondered: What's wrong with the Tigers? Apparently, nothing.

Clemson (4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) started 6-0 for a fifth straight year and beat the Seminoles (3-3, 2-2) for the fifth straight year, also a program best. Lawrence completed 17 of 25 passes for 170 yards, including 10- and 8-yard TD throws to Ross. Lawrence also ran for a touchdown, the 6-foot-6 sophomore extending full body to get over the goal line. Etienne ran for 127 yards and caught one of Lawrence's scoring throws. - Clemson/AP College Football
