D.J. Uiagalelei continues to be his biggest critic even when it’s not necessarily warranted.
Take the final play of Clemson’s double-overtime loss at North Carolina State for example. Uiagalelei took the fourth-down snap and lofted a pass toward Justyn Ross streaking down the sideline. This one wasn’t high, wide or hot like plenty of his passes have been this season. It was on a nearly perfect trajectory for Ross to run under for a touchdown and keep the game going.
For reasons still unclear, though, Ross never put his hands up to attempt a catch, and the ball fell incomplete inbounds just in front of the goal line.
