Before this season, Clemson’s two most recent games to start at 9:30 p.m. or later in its home time zone were played in Tokyo. The Tigers have now done it in back-to-back weeks.
Dabo Swinney says Reynolds earned the opportunity based on Clemson’s first two games, while pushing back on reports that Christopher Vizzina’s arm injury would keep him out against the Tar Heels.
The freshman quarterback flashed the talent that excites Dabo Swinney, but both Reynolds and Clemson’s head coach saw plenty to clean up after his first extended college action.
Freshman Tait Reynolds was pressed into extended action after Christopher Vizzina left with an injury, while Nolan Hauser kicked five field goals and Clemson’s defense stifled Georgia Southern in a 22-7 win.
