Dick’s Sporting Goods opens early after Clemson wins national title

CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) - Three Lowcountry Dick’s Sporting Goods’ stores opened early on Tuesday morning to celebrate the Clemson Tigers National Championship victory.

The Tigers demolished the Crimson Tide on Monday night, taking down Alabama 44-16 behind the effort of freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who completed 20-of-32 passes for 347 yards. He tossed three touchdowns to Travis Etienne, Justyn Ross, and Tee Higgens to lift Clemson to their second title in three years.
