There is a reason why Clemson’s Ray-Ray McCloud seems to be having a better season when it comes to returning punts.
“Well, he is catching the ball,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said.
Catching punts or hanging on to the football has been an issue for McCloud in the return game the previous two seasons. Of course there is the infamous dropping the ball at the one-yard line as he crossed the goal line a year ago on what would have been a 75-yard touchdown against Troy. Instead, it was a 74-yard return with a fumble that Troy recovered for a touchback.
