Has the backup QB position been determined for Clemson football?

The Clemson football team will open up the 2020 season against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons this Saturday evening at Truist Stadium in Winston-Salem.

One of the most intriguing questions from Clemson football fans, especially in the midst of this particular season, has to do with the backup quarterback position behind Trevor Lawrence.

Heading into preseason camp, redshirt freshman Taisun Phommachanh was listed as the backup with true-freshman DJ Uiagalelei listed as third-string on the depth chart.
