CLEMSON - Graduate kicker and Charleston native Jonathan Weitz played an integral in his Tigers getting revenge in the rivalry series with South Carolina on Saturday, making all three of his field goals from 42, 49 and 50 yards, respectively. It was a game that's been on his mind.

“It’s just special to get these opportunities, especially after sitting behind such a great kicker in BT (Potter) and what happened last year. A second opportunity (after) losing to them, it’s a dream come true, and I was thinking about that one pretty much up until I got the call from Coach Swinney to come back,” Weitz said, whose season-best field goal going into the game was from 41 yards out.
