Backup QB Tait Reynolds Leads 5 Scoring Drives as Clemson Defeats Georgia Southern 22-7
Tait Reynolds threw for 178 yards after Christopher Vizzina left with an injury, and Nolan Hauser made five field goals for Clemson.
- On Saturday night, freshman quarterback Tait Reynolds led Clemson to a 22-7 victory over Georgia Southern following a two-hour lightning delay, replacing starter Christopher Vizzina after an arm injury.
- Following a 51-10 loss to LSU last week, the Tigers sought redemption against a Sun Belt opponent as severe weather delayed kickoff at Memorial Stadium by two hours, pushing the start past 9:30 p.m. ET.
- Kicker Nolan Hauser converted all five field goal attempts, while Clemson's defense forced eight three-and-outs and held Georgia Southern to 22 rushing yards on 18 carries, dominating the line of scrimmage.
- Vizzina could not return because he "couldn't feel his left arm," per head coach Dabo Swinney, forcing offensive coordinator Chad Morris to manage a unit that stalled frequently in the red zone.
- Clemson hosts North Carolina next Saturday in an ACC conference opener, seeking offensive consistency after the Tigers struggled to generate touchdowns against the Sun Belt opponent during the home opener.
