Dinner with Swinney turned Potter’s confidence around

Since Clemson’s win over Florida State on Oct. 12, much of the attention has been on kicker B.T. Potter.

The sophomore missed a routine 24-yard field goal in the first half and head coach Dabo Swinney was not happy. Swinney gave Potter a tongue slashing which was caught by the cameras of ESPN.

Many wondered if Swinney was too hard on him, but Potter says Swinney’s reaction made him a little upset at first, but not at Swinney.

“I think he was pretty mad, but I think I was more mad at myself,” Potter said. “It was a routine kick and it’s something that I kind of took for granted, expecting myself to make it.
