CLEMSON – The Clemson football team had a special guest playing the part of Ohio St. quarterback J.T. Barrett during Friday’s practice, and to nobody’s surprise he got knocked around a little bit.
Former Tiger quarterback Tajh Boyd joined Friday’s practice as the Tigers continue bowl prep for the College Football Playoff’s Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Eve, and Boyd was able to help simulate the physical presence Barrett brings to the table.
He also brings a different edge to practice.
“He did a good job. It's a little different edge when he shows up,” head coach Dabo Swinney said after practice.
