Williams, a dynamic playmaker for the Tigers, had a game for the ages, setting a new school record for receiving yards in a single game with an astonishing 237 yards. His remarkable achievement capped off a stellar outing where he was nearly unstoppable, catching passes from quarterback Cade Klubnik and turning them into explosive gains.

The Tigers’ offense as a whole was clicking on all cylinders, with Klubnik throwing for over 350 yards and multiple touchdowns. Running back Will Shipley added to the offensive barrage, contributing with both rushing and receiving touchdowns, keeping the Yellow Jackets’ defense on its heels throughout the game.
Clemson’s defense, while overshadowed by the offensive fireworks, played a pivotal role in stifling Georgia Tech’s attack. The Yellow Jackets were only able to manage 17 points, with Clemson’s defensive line wreaking havoc in the backfield and the secondary limiting any potential deep threats. The Tigers’ defense maintained strong pressure throughout the game, forcing turnovers and creating opportunities for the offense to capitalize.
Antonio Williams’ 237 receiving yards broke the previous Clemson record of 211 yards, set by legendary receiver DeAndre Hopkins back in 2012.

After the game, Williams credited his teammates for helping him achieve the milestone, emphasizing the teamwork and chemistry that have been building all season long.
“To be mentioned in the same breath as guys like DeAndre Hopkins, that’s just unreal,” Williams said after the game, visibly emotional. “But this is a team effort, and I’m just glad I could help put points on the board for us.”
The Tigers now sit comfortably at the top of their division, with their offense proving to be one of the most potent in college football. As the season progresses, Clemson will look to build on this dominant performance and continue their march towards a possible playoff spot.
As for Antonio Williams, his record-breaking day only adds to his growing legacy in Clemson’s storied football program. With his combination of speed, hands, and football IQ, the sky is the limit for Williams as he looks to lead the Tigers to even greater heights.
