Clemson's defense took Auburn out to the woodshed with their 11 sack performance in the 14-6 win on Saturday night. It was the second most sacks in school history behind only Furman in 1996 and 11 against Utah State in 2004.
Austin Bryant had four sacks on the evening which tied the Clemson single game record and teammate Christian Wilkins also had a stellar game with two sacks against the War Eagles. Here are some of the tweet reactions about Clemson's impressive performance around the Internet.
Clemson held Auburn to 68 yards on 66 plays.

Better team won in Clemson. From AU's standpoint, defense is outstanding and won't face a better opponent this season, Iron Bowl included.

Auburn- defense played good enough to win, offense was terrible, 11 sacks and skeptical play calling falls right at the feet of Gus

Clemson's defensive stats from last night are absolutely insane: 117 total yards allowed, 11 sacks, 14 TFL's, 0.9 yards per rush. MY. GOD.

Clemsons defense is just a relentless force, That front 4 is ridiculous we knew that though. Linebackers are dogs out there & secondary is ??

BREAKING: Jarrett Stidham was unable to make the trip home back to Auburn. When he attempted to board the plane, Clemson sacked him again.

I think that @ClemsonFB nasty D visiting Louisville and @Lj_era8 would make for a compelling contest. Again. Am I right @KirkHerbstreit ?
— Chris Fowler (@cbfowler) September 10, 2017
