Clemson Overcomes Struggles to Win | Columbia News

Clemson’s Dabo Swinney celebrates a gritty 22-7 win over Georgia Southern despite shaky offense, ten penalties, and losing the turnover battle—thanks to stellar defense and special teams. Kicker Nolan Hauser shined, though Swinney wishes those FGs had been TDs. QB Christopher Vizzina exited due to numbness in his arm; Swinney’s unsure of severity but insists both QBs are vital. Freshman Tait Reynolds got snaps and showed promise, especially in clutch moments, though growth is still evident. Swinney blamed tackles for loss on multiple units—not just the line—and called penalties “frustrating.” Looking ahead to UNC’s ACC opener, he wants a roaring home crowd, a normal kickoff, and a statement performance—since both teams are undefeated in conference play. The stakes are high: Clemson must elevate their play to compete for the title. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
