Matchup Nightmare: Ross, Higgins, and Overton will be tough on opposing defenses

CLEMSON – Imagine that you’re an opposing defensive coordinator and you turn on the film to start preparing for Clemson, and you see Diondre Overton, Justyn Ross, and Tee Higgins lined up at wide receiver at the same time. If you’re keeping track at home, that’s 19 feet of receiver that have to be covered.

That’s a nightmare.

Overton is stepping in while Amari Rodgers recovers from a torn ACL, and wide receivers coach Jeff Scott said Friday that was pleased with Overton’s play.

"I thought Diondre was one of the most consistent guys today," Scott said.
