CLEMSON – Clemson’s wide receiver screen game has been a hot topic since the screen calls from former offensive coordinator Rob Spence, with fans hating the throws that are either on the line of scrimmage or behind the line. To the coaches, a screen to the perimeter is a success if it gains four or more yards because they consider it an extension of the run game.
Offensive coordinator Tony Elliott responded to TigerNet’s questions about the screen game during Monday’s press conference, and he detailed the factors that go into having a successful screen game – blocking on the perimeter, having numbers, and even the body type of the receiver catching the ball.
