When he put in the tape and started watching last week’s Duke-North Carolina game, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was surprised with what he saw from Blue Devils’ quarterback Daniel Jones.
“He is a nightmare,” Swinney said to ESPNU radio host Mark Packer Thursday.
Jones put up 547 yards against the Tar Heels, including 186 rushing yards, a record for a Duke quarterback.
This Saturday, Jones will try to do something no Duke quarterback has done since David Bennett in 1980, come into Death Valley and beat second-ranked Clemson. The problem is, the junior quarterback got the Tigers’ attention with his performance against North Carolina last week.
