Swinney breaks down the plays of his QBs, says Pearman has "always shown it"

CLEMSON – Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney says that Trent Pearman didn’t win his awards by being lucky, and he wasn’t lucky in his performance in Saturday’s spring game.

Pearman, the Tigers’ third-string quarterback, put up the best numbers of any of the quarterbacks during Saturday’s 27-12 victory by the Orange. Pearman played quarterback for both teams and finished the day a combined 13-of-18 for 145 yards and a beautiful touchdown pass to Bryant Wesco. Pearman also led all rushers with 12 carries for 62 yards, including a 49-yard touchdown run.

Swinney said he was happy Clemson fans finally got to see Pearman in action.
