Ferrell says Bryant played his 'best ball' ever this summer

Clemson defensive end Clelin Ferrell says he didn’t have much of a reaction on Monday when he found out that Clemson has officially named Kelly Bryant the starting quarterback for Saturday’s season opener against Furman.

“I was just like, ‘OK,'” Ferrell said. “He was the starter last year, so I don’t even think I was supposed to be like, ‘Oh, yes!’ or like, ‘Dang, really?’ I just kind of go with the flow.”

Bryant beat out true freshman Trevor Lawrence and redshirt freshman Chase Brice to earn the starting job — at least for the time being.
