BC's Frank Spaziani on Sammy Watkins


by -

FROM ACC teleconference on Wednesday:

Q. Can you talk about the problems

that Sammy WatkinsSammy Watkins

Fr. Wide Receiver

#7 6-1, 200

Fort Myers, FL

View Full Profile presents? He's obviously

had a huge impact as a freshman at Clemson.

When you see him and compare him to the

other top receivers, seeing Gibbons last week

and Vernon and Varner the week before, what

does Watkins do that makes him so effective?

COACH SPAZIANI: Well, he's a lot faster

than a lot of people, that's the first thing. You

know, when you watch him, it's hard to fathom that

he is just a true freshman. He has tremendous

skills, quickness and speed. He's a handful.

Q. Is he a guy that you shape your

coverage for, to double him or try to take him

away and make him do other things?

COACH SPAZIANI: Well, I don't know if

we are equipped to do that, but you certainly have

to be aware of where he is and what he does, and

schematically do the best job you can to make sure

you try to neutralize him in the best things he does.

Once again, I don't know, you have to be

on a certain level to do some of those things. We

have to play our defense.
