Front Page Story: Howard makes the most of his opportunity

Howard makes the most of his opportunity

Tiger running back D.J. Howard felt like he had a lot to prove this past Saturday when Clemson hosted Auburn, and when he got his chance he made the most of it. Full Story »

And you should be proud. You did a very good job and I'm sure you will get the chance to keep proving yourself....

He definitely made an impression

When Howard got his touches you could tell he was running with determination. I was very impressed with what I saw on Saturday and I'm glad he's a Clemson Tiger. That kid can flat out run.

This is what i don't get. You should want to prove something to yourself every time you go out. Doesn't matter who you play. I know you had a chip on your shoulder...but play with one EVERY SATURDAY....not just one

i think what he meant was he had extra motivation going up against a team that basically told him he couldn't be a running back for them...i don't think he meant that he played harder against auburn than he will against other teams

And I think what i am saying is that you...as a player..should always have extra motivation to prove yourself. Jerry Ricesque attitude. Dude wasn't the most athletically talented WR in the league, but he always tried to outperform himself.

Dj Howard = 2nd best frosh on the roster


Sep 22, 2011, 3:25 PM

Honestly, through the first three games... Who has done more consistently?

I love Bellamy , peake, Crawford, and st Anthony but DJ has absolutely played mistake free ball and deserves 10 carries a game.

If he plays that well when his friends & family attends...


Sep 22, 2011, 3:38 PM

... then I hope they attend the FSU & VT games!

He's looked really good since the spring game. He hits the hold decisively and has good speed. He reminds me of James Davis. I love the way he fights for more yards after initial contact, but he's gotta carry that ball more securely in those situations. He was carrying it too loosely a few times against Auburn. I'll bet the coaches got on him about it.

He reminds me of Marcus Allen or maybe even Hershel Walker a little bit. He is a very good RB, and I have no doubt he will play this week and every week with the same zeal he showed last week. A real star doesn't crank it up for one team and coast for others. He plays balls out every game, and DJ is a real star. I saw it in the Spring game, too. We now are getting that quality depth that good teams have. We need more quality OL and DL, but we are on the right track. JMHO

I gotta say everyone in our section was saying "Andre Who?!?!" after DJ started waxin them.

I think he is the 2nd best running back on the roster, Bellamy will surpass him down the road after he learns how to secure the ball and hit the right holes. I am very impressed with howards yards after initial contact, were goin to need him to do that against a nasty fsu defense.

GO TIGERS!!!

Hey DJ...


Sep 22, 2011, 4:38 PM

FSU thinks you should have been a DB too...

Show then on Saturday...

when i saw the first few practice clips of this guy i saw right away hes a natural for the rb position. it was exciting cuz u could tell this kid has "it", and i didnt have a clue if clemson would have depth behind ellington who was coming off surgery...ellington is a beast, but dont sleep on howard, the kid can play. also gotta luv having that true freshman who has to be the fastest college runner ive seen since rocket ismail launched at notre dame!!!!!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Bellamy is faster than CJ? I'm not so sure about that.***
