2012 recruiting class

Members of the 2012 recruiting class are difficult to find on this team. These elder-statesmen are nearing the end of their college careers, but, that doesn’t mean they are done playing just yet. These senior citizens outplayed the true freshman in my estimation.

Nick Schuessler came in guns blazing in relief of Deshaun Watson. The veteran quarterback completed 11 of his 17 passing attempts for 177 yards and 2 touchdowns. Schuessler also added 3 carries for 9 yards.

Carlos Watkins was his usual disruptive-self. The mammoth defensive lineman recorded 3 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 tackle for loss.

Jay Guillermo has been a mainstay on Clemson’s offensive line for years, as was the case against Syracuse. Guillermo and the Tigers offensive line did not let up a single sack against Syracuse.

Andy Teasdall punted the ball twice for an average of 37.5 yards per punt.
