Scrimmage Report: Defense shines, quarterback race tightens

The Clemson football team held its final practice before spring break Wednesday afternoon in the indoor practice facility, and head coach Dabo Swinney oversaw an offense that ran exactly 99 plays, the same number of plays Clemson ran in the 35-31 win over Alabama in the title game in January.

season camp. Even if one does start to separate, I think they are close enough that coaches will keep the competition heated by not naming a starter until they have to. We may not even know until just before kickoff of the first game. In fact, whoever starts that game, may not be the starter by season's end.

In the video clip in the other article, Elliott sure sounds enthusiastic about Cooper. There's a difference between seeing it here in print compared to the audio version.

I think it's safe to say that Cooper is the clear favorite

here on T-Net. I can sort of understand that, since Kelly couldn't beat out Nick Scheussler for 2nd string last year, and we don't know if he can make all of the throws or not. I'm not sure that's sound reasoning though as we know even less about Cooper. Personally, I just want the best guy in there. I think we have 4 very good, capable QBs, and I think we are in good shape no matter who it is.

Mr. Zerrick Cooper is the man with the arm, hands down. He throws one of the prettiest looking ball on the team. If you not ready, he can stick it in your face mask for a completion.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That's what I've heard, and I've factored that in.


Mar 16, 2017, 1:42 PM

I still think it will be at least a two, maybe 3 man battle all the way, but for now, Bryant has the edge.

Atta Boy, Kelly! Y'all are just dying to give QB1 to anyone but Bryant, cause he seems like a Nick Marshall run first kind of QB, and we've developed the pass version of Auburn's offense. The thing is, we've only really seen Kelly run, cause he's always in during third string mop up duty.

I will be happy with whoever wins the spot, but with Bryant, we could very well have the male version of Ms Jackson.

...or it could be that he also on top of that could not beat out Scheussler for 2nd string behind Watson at any point in a single year for 2 consecutive years, which again in my opinion says something when you are supposed to be dual threat like your first string QB.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Scheussler had better knowledge, experience, and consistency


Mar 16, 2017, 9:16 AM

No surprise he was the #2...

Throwing the ball efficiently also helped. He was 23 of 33 for 334 yards and 6 TD's; passing efficiency of 184.7. Not bad for a backup to Watson, who was on the field the majority of the time. ;)

Who is Ms Jackson?

Noticed Elliot stated, Cooper, Israel & Johnson tightening the race by 2nd scrimmage on Bryant.
IMO, I can't wait to see what Johnson can do in scrimmage & in live game situations. Who knows, maybe Auburn rotation..

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Gawd, I hope not.

That was a momentum killing cluster frick.

I see that one of Renfrow's catches was a 39 yarder. Should we be concerned when looking at the quarterback and receiver stats that all the other passes other than the one Renfrow pass must have been really short ones? And, with the Renfrow catch, we don't know how far it travelled in the air.

I know the our defense is going to be great again and the quarterbacks probably are not getting a lot of time to throw, but I hope we can stretch the field, and not just throw screens and short crossing patterns.

Go Tigers!

I was at the scrimmage yesterday. The QB rotation was Bryant, Cooper, Isreal. Only after each had seen the field 3 or 4 times each did Johnson get his opportunity.

Can someone help? I don't recognize the name.

"little Ty Thomason, a 230-pound kid who's been playing wideout"

And is this the bruising back we've been longing for in short yardage situations?
