FROM ACC teleconference on Wednesday:
Q. Can you talk about the problems that

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.
