way he has with Ngata.

He heaped a bit upon Sammy Watkins when he came in, but it wasn't as vociferous as what he said about Ngata.

He did say Sammy was the starter after day 2 and did not mention Ngata starting, but you have to get excitied about him when the coach praises him that much.

YEs, but Sammy was the real start to our dominance at the WR position. We had pretty good receivers but Sammy was a major step up. Whereas, Now we have a lot of elite WR's and he's going to have to bide his time. But does it really matter at this point. Our Receivers are 2 o 3 deep across the field. There's not another team in the country that can say that. Not even Bama. The team that everyone but Tiger fans think has the best receiving core in the country. We know the truth and will continue to produce first round selections in the draft. Even our 5th rounder seems to be taking over at Oakland.


Go Tigers.

opposing DB's won't have legs in the 4th, but our WRs will still be fresh. It will be an exciting year.

I do seem to recall the same "sponge" comment being used

about Sammy. But, not the amount of effusive praise that Dabo heaped on Ngata. He must be something to watch in practice every day to elicit that kind of buildup.

I really respect Dabo as a person and as a football coach. He is likely the smartest and definitely the most strategic coach we have ever had at Clemson.

Given that he is seldom so ebullient with praise for a freshman, I wonder if there is a underlying recruiting slant to his comments. Perhaps the freshman’s family and younger brother are also reading those comments?

I am certain that Dabo means every word he is saying, but he may be verbalizing the comments to connect with a yet to be committed running back from the state of California.

I’ll never forget Sammy’s 1st scrimmage

He took 1st play for 75 yd TD in end around (reverse from slot)
