Dabo Swinney says Antonio Williams was a full go all week
Clemson Football head coach Dabo Swinney doesn’t often go into detail on injuries. He indicated Antonio Williams, Nate Wiggins and Sheridan Jones should play this weekend against Miami, but didn’t offer a lot of info.
Wednesday evening he discussed Williams’s situation a little more.
Dabo Swinney talks about WR Antonio Williams (ankle) being back for Miami. Says he was "full go" last week for the first time in a while.

"He was close the Wake game but just not quite there … Last week, he was able to make another jump, where he needs to be."
For inquiring minds that want to know: we have learned what South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer kicked when he broke his foot.
The Mystery of What Caused the Broken Foot has been solved.

Beamer says it was a Gatorade cooler.
I think this theory probably fits the available evidence the best.
Probably thought it was empty when he kicked it but 5+ gallons of Gatorade doesn't move so easily.
