With Clemson gearing up for the annual rivalry game against South Carolina, much of the focus has been on the Tigers’ inability to stop Gamecocks quarterback LaNorris Sellers a season ago.
Sellers shredded Wes Goodwin’s defense to the tune of 166 rushing yards, including the game-winning 20-yard scramble with just over a minute to play.
Clemson especially had trouble tackling the South Carolina quarterback that day. During his weekly press conference on Tuesday, head coach Dabo Swinney was asked if that performance was pivotal in his decision to move on from Goodwin.
“Not much. Wes can’t tackle them,” Swinney said.
