Working the Clemson beat has been a dream.
That dream continues, as I have joined @ClemsonTigerNet to write and podcast full time.
I'm thankful to @MDavidHood for the opportunity this summer, and I can't wait to continue to grow.
Stay tuned. The best is yet to come. โ๏ธ
@gray_mann21 is now a part of our TigerNet team after graduating Clemson in the spring. He's been a fantastic addition and we are proud to have him. Give him a follow!!
Chad Morris talked about Grant Wise being one of those pieces who has recently stepped up for Clemson.
Watch him bury his assignment along with Gavin Blanchard here that sets up the deep completion to Bryant Wesco.
"I'm watching somebody running around on a highlight that's playing high school football in Arizona...do you know who this guy is?"
Chad Morris tells his side of his conversation with Tait Reynolds on being unlocked as a runner for Clemson, and his growth as of late:
Clemson DT Kourtney Kelly is here.
He says that the day after his injury, he felt like he had a chance to play this year. Kelly adds that the history of guys like Adam Randall coming back early helped push him through rehab.
Chad Morris says Jarvis Green has probably been one of the more consistent pieces in the room for Clemson, and feels like he always finds yards on each given play:
"He's just gonna give you everything he's got."
Morris says being able to end the game on offense has been huge over the last two weeks, with Reynolds' legs producing game-winning plays.
Confidence-wise, it's "huge for this Clemson unit.
The key moving forward, according to Morris, is building on that earlier in the game.
Chad Morris says Clemson's red zone struggles are a "combination of things," whether it is drops, penalties, or miscues.
"It's been a continuation of an error somewhere or a mishap somehow."
Chad Morris says the challenge right now for this offense is to consistently support Tait Reynolds with the pieces around him.
He adds that an example of that strong support was Grant Wise, who started at center against Syracuse this weekend.
Nolan Hauser on his "Terminator" nickname:
He says Kevin Kelly sent him a link to NFL players calling their kickers "terminators."
Kelly started saying it after each kick Hauser made in practice, and it caught fire from there.
Clemson K Nolan Hauser on this moment:
"They mean the world to me because if they aren't there, I don't get anything. They work just as hard as I do, and it was really important for me that I got to share the moment with him."
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney says they tried to give star kicker Nolan Hauser a game ball after Saturday's win, but Hauser wouldn't accept one unless they also gave one to his snapper, Brodey Conn, and his holder, Clay Swinney, because Hauser said he "couldn't do it without them"
Hauser says Dabo Swinney told him he had tied the Clemson record after the game, but that it didn't mean anything unless he could celebrate it with Brodey Conn and Clay Swinney.
Dabo Swinneyโs thoughts on the 24 team playoff remains the same.
He says his job is to get Clemson in a position to compete in whatever format the postseason provides, and feels his program has done that:
Hereโs a look at the shirt Clemson is handing out to students for Thursdayโs game against South Carolina.
Shirts are going to the first 1,250 Clemson fans coming to Littlejohn.
