Clemson Notes

Turns out scheduling Samford as an opening game was not so dumb after all. You face a team that passes MOST of the time, so you get used to some schemes, which allows you to get ready for...... a team that passes a lot.... Clemson. Story here....... Also note that Bilbo and Parker were suspended for some type of minor academic infraction. Coach Gailey said that they did not break a school, league or NCAA rule - they broke a team rule.

Here's the RamblinWreck.com story on the upcoming game - link here.

Chris McDuffie has been reinstated for the GT game after a one game suspension after he was arrested in July on pot possesion and intent to distribute. I guess drug dealing is not as serious as it used to be. Story here.

The GT/Clemson game is a sellout - story here.

Again, one guy to watch for is Chansi Stuckey - link here.

Chansi Stuckey, the Tigers' not-so-secret weapon, did a little bit of a lot during a 37-30 double-overtime victory over Wake Forest.In his first game as a wide receiver, the 6-0, 190-pound redshirt sophomore caught eight passes for 112 yards. He rushed four times for 10 yards. He blocked a punt for a safety. Stuckey's Deacon-flattening block during another Wake Forest punt helped spring Justin Miller for a 69-yard touchdown return. He took snaps at quarterback.

As far as the Clemson game plan, look for quick snaps - link here.

On the recruiting front, Clemson hosted a number of recruits for their game versus Wake Forest, including some the Jackets are following - link here.

Lastly, a story on Clemson and looking forward to this week.
