LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney does not give out a lot of game balls, but he gave one to B.T. Potter following Saturday’s 45-10 victory at Louisville.
It had not been a good week for the Tigers’ kicker. He was demoted by Swinney at halftime in last week’s game against Florida State after he missed a 24-yard field goal. Swinney laid into the sophomore after the miss and replaced him with Steven Sawicki, who started Saturday’s game.
But instead of pouting and feeling sorry for himself, Potter got mad. He directed his anger on the football when he nailed a 51-yard field goal on the Tigers’ opening possession of the game.
