CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) Five Clemson tailbacks combined for 209 yards rushing and Charlie Whitehurst was 13 of 23 passing for 86 yards in the Tigers' scrimmage Saturday afternoon.<br>
<br>
Clemson's defense allowed just one touchdown, and the offense, which gained 558 yards, didn't turn the ball over.<br>
<br>
``There were positives on either side of the ball,'' Clemson coach Tommy Bowden said. ``We didn't lose a turnover for the second straight scrimmage and that was a plus. We came close to a couple of turnovers on defense and we obviously need to create turnovers.''<br>
<br>
Bowden said Clemson was last in the nation in turnover margin when the Tigers started 1-4 last season.<br>
<br>
James Davis, who had missed the last two days of practice, returned Saturday and had 15 rushes for 69 yards, including a 28-yard touchdown. He led the scrimmage in rushing attempts and yards.<br>
<br>
Clemson opens the season with Texas A on Sept. 3.<br>
