Special teams: Pearman says young Tigers short on experience

SUNSET – Imagine a scenario where the Clemson football team, on the road for the first time during the 2015 season and facing a hostile Thursday night crowd in Louisville, has to have a big kick late in the game.

Can your first-year (as a starter) snapper get it to your first-year holder so your first-year kicker can make the kick for the win? Can your first-year punter make the big kick out of the back of the end zone with seconds on the clock?

That’s the situation facing special teams coach Danny Pearman as the Tigers head into fall camp Tuesday.
