Question: Brandon,first of all I would like to Thank You for 4 very memorable years as the QB of the Clemson Tigers and wish you all the best in the coming years and the rest of your life endeavors.My question is you have been apart of coach Bowdens first year at Clemson and you have seen first hand what he and the assistants coaches can do with the team both Defencively and Offencively,how do you personally see the Clemson Football program doing in the years to come and how long would you guess that coach Bowden will have this program back in the Top 10 and even the Top 5 on a annual basis.Do you see this program contending for and winning an ACC Championship very soon.Again Brandon Thanks for all you have done,you have meant and most of all Thanks for being the kind of person you really are,an outstanding individual and a great person who is a great representitive of himself and Clemson University,THANK YOU. Answer: I definitely believe that this program is on the rise and will very soon be consistantly in the top 10. This year should be a great opportunity for us to contend for the ACC Championship. Thanks for the compliments and support. Question: Brandon, what is the biggest game that you played for Clemson and we won? Coots? Answer: Probably the Virginia game this past season and the Carolina game in 98 because it locked up a bowl bid Question: Do you have an opinion on Coach Bowden's decision to change to the White Jerseys for home play? Answer: I think that the color of our jerseys should not be more important than our performance on the field. I do like the white uniforms the best but you can't beat the orange pants and orange jerseys.
