It was a windy day in Death Valley this past Saturday, but that didn’t stop 50,500 fans from piling into Memorial Stadium to watch Clemson’s Orange and White Spring Game.
The Orange team came out with a 17-9 victory.
Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson played for both teams. He completed 5-of-6 passes for 140 yards for the Orange team. One of those passes was a 61-yard touchdown pass to Ray Ray McCloud down the near sideline. Watson was not as successful with the White team as he was 2-for-5 for one yard.
With a lot of focus on Clemson going into the upcoming season, here is what is being said following the spring game on Saturday.
Spring Game Attendance (so far):
60,000 – Michigan
50,500 – Clemson
49,913 – FSU
46,000 – Florida
42,436 – Oklahoma
32,916 – SC
18,000 – BYU— Pick Six Previews (@PickSixPreviews) April 9, 2016
Deshaun Watson is bigger.
He seems more self-confident, even than last year.
His command is precise.
Leadership palpable.
What a player.— Marty Smith (@MartySmithESPN) April 10, 2016
