Like a boxer, the GREG Tigers stunned Pitt with OLIVER a series of left and right hooks. Clemson put up 31 points in the first quarter alone — the most points scored by the Tigers in the opening quarter since Memorial Stadi- um opened in 1942 — in the 52-17 rout at Memorial Stadium. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who missed the Tigers’ last two games after a bout with COVID-19, made his presence quickly felt with a long pass to E.J. Williams across the middle and later threw a touchdown pass to the freshman. Defensively, the Tigers intercepted Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett three times in the first quarter alone and four times over- all. Pitt was unable to move the ball during the first quarter, and by the time it did generate some offense, the Panthers were down by four touchdowns and a field goal. If the game was played to the rules of a 10-round heavyweight boxing match, Clemson would have been awarded a technical knockout in the first round. Although Pitt eventually cut its deficit to 21 points, the game was basically over in the first quarter, and only after the Tigers began emptying their bench did the Panthers whittle the lead.

| U.S. BRIEFS | In some parts of New York, vote count shrouded in secrecy ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Policies favoring secrecy over transparency have meant that New Yorkers will be among the last Americans to learn the final vote tallies in the 2020 elec- tion, with results in a few races still unknown one month after Election Day. Several of the locally run elections boards responsible for processing a record 2 million absentee bal- lots cast in the state decided not to release any rolling updates on how their count of those mail-in votes was progressing until the very last vote was tallied. While elections officials in battle- ground states like Pennsylvania, Ar- izona and Nevada updated the public daily on how their count of the mail- in vote was going, their counterparts in some parts of New York main- tained radio silence, and refused all media requests for information as to how the vote was unfolding. “The country was looking down their noses at Pennsylvania, Geor- gia for taking so long,” said Senate Deputy Majority Leader Michael Gi- anaris. “New York makes them look good.
