Spence starting to get comfortable in new role

Things have changed a lot for Clemson kicker Alex Spence in one week.

Last weekend, the redshirt junior was one of only two players on Clemson’s roster that didn’t see the field during the team’s 47-21 win at Louisville.

A week later against Boston College — following Greg Huegel’s ACL tear that was the result of a freak accident in practice — Spence found himself as Clemson’s starting kicker.

“I was waiting for my opportunity, and I didn’t know I would get to go in this many times the next game after (the Louisville game),” Spence said after second-ranked Clemson’s 34-7 win on Saturday in Death Valley.
