Vizzina Gave Clemson Hope, Even When Defense Failed

CLEMSON – Let’s be honest here.

Though Clemson lost Saturday’s game to SMU, in a way, it seemed like a win.

Why?

The Tigers now know what they got in backup quarterback Christopher Vizzina. Though things started out rocky for the sophomore, he ultimately settled in and gave his team a chance to win the game.

If you told me prior to Clemson’s 35-24 loss to SMU, who was going to play better – Vizzina or the Clemson defense? I would have easily taken the Clemson defense.

But the exact opposite was true. Vizzina completed 29 of 42 passes for 317 yards and threw three touchdowns with no interceptions.
