WATCH: Kyle Richardson on what the Air Raid brings to Clemson offense


Tony Crumpton Tony Crumpton  ·  Assoc. Editor ·  

Clemson passing game coordinator and tight ends coach Kyle Richardson breaks down the transition to a new offense to the media following Wednesday's practice.

"We took out some stuff that we didn't run a lot (plays) or practicing or repping because that is how we did it years before," Richardson said during his media availability. "Now it's totally different because it's a totally different scheme, so when you hear the buzzword 'simple' because the scheme is simple. We are not coming in needing to simplify things. It's already simplified.

Richardson knows that the players just need to get comfortable and let their natural ability shine in the new offense.

"Now we need to go rep it. Now we need to go learn it. Now we need to be comfortable with it, and that comfortable will lead to confidence."
