When Gideon Davidson made his college debut in Clemson’s season opener against LSU, he hardly saw any action on offense. The highly touted true freshman running back played just two snaps in that contest and did not have a rushing attempt.
After that game, head coach Dabo Swinney lent some insight into why Davidson didn’t get any carries against LSU, saying he made a blocking mistake on his first snap of the game and thus didn’t “get as much opportunity after that.”
Fast forward to the present, and Davidson has come a long way in that area and made big strides in terms of his pass protection.
