UConn: The Trick Play That Sparked Clemson
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney looked at punter Andy Teasdall and said one word and Teasdall wandered onto the field wondered if he’d heard right. UConn, the term for the trick play that lets Teasdall loft a pass to defensive tackle Christian Wilkins. Teasdall walked to his position for the punt and thought about his next move.

Brilliant call & brilliantly executed. Now let the Big Fella play fullback some in the red zone. Jumbo Package!!

Run Wayne behind him or just give him the ball.

You could see the sideline erupt. This was the turning point of the day.

Fortunately, this one was called and he connected on a pass that would have made Joe Montana proud.

I just wish we had saved that play for the Natty. We did not need it against OU.
Fooled everyone on the planet. I thought about it and discarded it as a possibility on 4th and 4 (I think), especially after the ACCCG fiasco. No way would we do that.

I called it in section 418. I thought that Dabo sensationalized the chewing out of Teasdall in the ACC Championship for that moment. What a call!!!!!!!

Did anyone catch on film the play after this one with Ray Ray? It wasn't on TV.

We ran the same fumble rooskie play in the Chicfila bowl when we beat Tennessee. Tommy Bowden was our coach then and I think both our OC's were on that same team.
