Kyle Parker became the second Tiger freshman to throw three touchdown passes in a single game in a near comeback against Georgia Tech. Parker completed 15-of-31 passes for 261 yards and three touchdowns, including aerial strikes of 63 yards to C.J. Spiller and 77 yards to Jacoby Ford.

After trailing 24-0 just five minutes into the second quarter, Parker led the Tiger offense to 27 unanswered points and a 27-24 Clemson lead, but Georgia Tech’s Scott Blair eventually hit game-tying and game-winning field goals to outlast the Tigers.
