Swinney says Potter needs to ‘grow up and mature a little bit’

B.T. Potter served as Clemson’s starting placekicker for the first six games this season. However, Dabo Swinney has decided to make a change after Saturday’s 45-14 win over Florida State at Death Valley during which Potter missed wide right on a 24-yard field goal attempt in the second quarter with the Tigers leading 28-0.

The Clemson head coach said during his teleconference Sunday evening that senior Steven Sawicki has the starting job going into third-ranked Clemson’s game at Louisville this Saturday.

Sawicki made his first career field goal, a 26-yarder, in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s victory.
