ATLANTA -- Deshaun Watson and No. 5 Clemson finally turned in the performance everyone was expecting, totally dominating Georgia Tech in the first half on the way to a 26-7 victory Thursday night.After sluggish wins over Auburn and Troy, and a practice-like rout of FCS school South Carolina State that meant nothing, the Tigers (4-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) won at Georgia Tech for the first time since 2003 to set up a huge showdown with No. 3 Louisville.Watson was 32 of 48 for 304 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown pass to Mike Williams and a 9-yarder to Jordan Leggett with just 4 seconds left before halftime to complete a stunningly lopsided showing that wasnt entirely reflected in the 23-0 lead. Wayne Gallman added a 1-yard TD run.Clemson finished with a 442-124 lead in total yards.Georgia Tech (3-1, 1-1) didnt get into positive yards until early in the second quarter and the halftime stats were almost comical: Clemson held a 347-22 lead in yards, was up 19-3 in first downs, and ran 56 plays to only 21 for the home team.The Yellow Jackets picked up one first down on a debatable pass interference penalty, another on a meaningless 14-yard run at the end of half. Clemson looked as though it was playing a lower-division school for the second week in a row, not its ACC opener.This was a virtual repeat of last years meeting at Clemson, where the Tigers raced to a 33-10 halftime lead on the way to a 43-24 victory.Clemson backed off over the final two quarters, and Georgia Tech managed to avoid its first home shutout since 1957 when Dedrick Mills scored on a 2-yard run with 13:21 remaining.Even when Georgia Tech came up with a big play, it wound up costing points. Lance Austin intercepted a pass in the end zone and tried to bring it out -- only to be whacked inadvertently by teammate Corey Griffin, knocking the ball loose.Austin fell on it in the end zone, but that was a safety for Clemson. It was a far cry from a prime-time game last season, when the defensive back returned a blocked field goal 78 yards for a touchdown on the final play to give Georgia Tech a stunning victory of Florida State.There wouldnt be an upset on this night.THE TAKEAWAYClemson: Dont read too much into the sluggish showing in the second half. It was only natural that the Tigers let down a bit after dominating the first two quarters. For sure, this was just the sort of confidence-boosting performance that Clemson needed heading to their showdown with Louisville.Georgia Tech: After opening with three straight wins over mediocre opposition, the Yellow Jackets dont seem to have made much improvement over last years 3-9 debacle. Coach Paul Johnsons triple-option offense was totally manhandled and increasingly looks like a gimmick that other teams have figured out. Poor recruiting seems to have caught up with the Yellow Jackets when they face elite competition.UP NEXTClemson: When Louisville visits Death Valley on Oct. 1, it will have all the makings of a national playoff game. Assuming the Cardinals (3-0) get by Appalachian State on Saturday night, two unbeaten powerhouses will meet to establish the pecking order atop the ACC.Georgia Tech: No. 15 Miami (3-0) and longtime nemesis Mark Richt visit Bobby Dodd Stadium on Oct. 1. Richt is in his first season as the Hurricanes coach after 15 years at Georgia, where he went 13-2 against the Yellow Jackets.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

Dai Young insists the English game will never fall into another bitter club-versus-country row, allaying any lingering tensions from Englands injury-hit Brighton training camp.The amicable agreement between Aviva Premiership clubs and the Rugby Football Union (RFU) has recently endured its biggest test in a generation after Wasps flanker Sam Jones broke his leg in a judo session with England.Baths Anthony Watson broke his jaw and Exeters Jack Nowell suffered a thigh strain in rugby training with England, leading Saracens boss Mark McCall to question the timing of the Brighton get-together.England head coach Eddie Jones met the clubs rugby directors last week, with Wasps boss Young adamant there has been no lasting damage.Obviously Eddies always going to back his corner and were always going to back ours; we have slightly different agendas, said Young.But when it comes to player welfare and looking after players weve got the same agenda.From our point of view it will be doing nobody any good for us to be falling out with the national set-up. And to be honest I dont ever really see that happening, not in this day and age.We all realise that and as I said you cant have a bigger brother in this situation.Weve got to be equals and coming out of that meeting I didnt feel anything other than this is a relationship that will continue and will not be a problem.England coach Jones had long been slated to meet Premiership coaches in London last week, but Young admitted the injuries in the recent Brighton camp changed tthe complexion of discussions.ddddddddddddExeter boss Rob Baxter had expressed frustrations at the workload of winger Nowells training during the Brighton camp, given the 23-year-old had only just recovered from thumb surgery.Premiership Rugby bosses and the RFU both issued statements after Thursdays meeting in London to indicate talks had progressed positively.Now Wasps boss Young has echoed those sentiments, and vowed the relationship between club and country will remain strong.The meeting was hijacked a little bit by a lot of things that went on in the camp, because that meeting was pencilled in for a long time, said Young.It wasnt a showdown meeting, that was never the case, it was always arranged for Eddie to come along and discuss what his plans were.It was an excellent meeting, what we expected, and the previous meetings Ive had with Eddie have always been positive and respectful from both parties.I totally respect what England want to do and try to support that as much as we can.Ive never had anything back the other way that wasnt replicated from their side.So they obviously had a couple of unfortunate incidents where people got injured but people do get injured, as in any training.From our point of view its part and parcel of sport and these things happen.Leaving that meeting everyone was totally confident that we dont see any problems in the relationship moving forward.
