“He’s just mentally tougher, he’s much more confident and we’re better around him. I think that’s made him better,” stated Swinney. “The biggest thing is that we all go through adversity. If you’re made of the right stuff, it makes you better. We don’t like it, but it makes you better, and he’s made of the right stuff. He’s an unbelievable kid. He’s one of the most humble leader I’ve ever been around. He’s put the work in. He’s battle tested. Got some good experience and he’s got some bad experience. He’s just a much more competent young man in what he’s doing. Great ownership of what we’re asking him to do offensively. He’s a much more confident runner, I think that’s a reflection of what he did from a, just getting his body where he wanted it to be. He’s healthy.

“So I’m really proud of him. I mean, he’s not perfect, but he’s so much improved and he’s getting better every week. I like the look in his eye, and the No. 1 thing is he’s providing great leadership for this team. Not just the offense, but the team. Great energy, every single day at practice. So I’m really proud of him, and really expect him to play well.”

Thus far, DJ Uiagalelei has done enough to keep Clemson undefeated as they look to get back to the top of the college football mountain. Time will tell if he can continue to do so in 2022.

Lee Corso predicts Wake Forest win, calls Clemson overrated on ESPN College GameDay

Lee Corso made his feelings known and then some on the Clemson Tigers during College GameDay on Saturday.

Evidently, the legendary coach turned analyst isn’t a fan of Dabo Swinney’s squad in 2022, repeatedly calling the Tigers overrated and picking Wake Forest to send Clemson home with a loss.

“Clemson is overrated. Yeah, Clemson is overrated. That’s right. Clemson’s overrated,” exclaimed Corso. “Wake has lost 13 straight to the Tigers, but this could be the year. Why? Because Wake has got an offense that can out-score the Tigers. They’re at home, where they’ve won 11 straight games, so it makes sense to me. 

“Wake Forest upsets No. 5 Clemson today, write it down. Clemson’s overrated!”

Evidently, Lee Corso believes Clemson’s revenge tour will take a huge hit when the Demon Deacons take it to them on Saturday. Time will tell if he’s right, but there’s no question where the analyst stands.
