Spring Game Observations: Pace, defenses shine on sunny day in Death Valley

CLEMSON – The annual Orange and White Game wasn’t high-scoring and it wasn’t explosive, but it looks like it was relatively injury-free and you can’t beat a breezy, sun-splashed afternoon in Death Valley.

The Orange scored the first touchdown of the game on the very first drive but failed to find the end zone after that as the White scored twice late to secure the 14-13 win.

Here are some of my takeaways as I watched the game from the press box.

First quarter

*We’ve heard all spring that RB Mikey Dukes has excelled in the return game, and he broke off a nice return to start the game.
