When running back Kobe Pace has the ear of his quarterback, D.J. Uiagalelei, he offers a piece of advice that sounds more like a reminder. "Just be you, man," Pace said. "Nobody has to go out there in front of 80,000 people and throw a ball but you. You gotta do that. So that's what you do. That's your responsibility." Uiagalelei, the former five-star recruit, came into last season with his potential greatness compared to the realized greatness of Trevor Lawrence. After an uneven first season as Clemson's starter, the big-armed quarterback has faced questions about whether he is, in fact, good enough. There was nothing but empty concrete staring back at Uiagalelei and Clemson's offense on Aug. 13 as they entered Memorial Stadium for a preseason scrimmage.

But it was a moment where Uiagalelei answered some questions. The entire offense did. "Honestly, I kinda saw that comin'," Swinney said. "I told the defense, it was very competitive." In Swinney's experience, the defense is usually ahead of the offense early in preseason camp. And this is supposed to be one of the more talented defenses Clemson has had in a while. But the results of the first scrimmage, as relayed by Swinney, continue the optimistic appraisals of Uiagalelei's growth. Part of his maturity is actually a reduction, slimming down from over 260 pounds to just under 235. With that noticeably lighter frame, Uiagalelei made plays in the scrimmage that wouldn't have been possible a year ago. "I'm proud of D.J.," Swinney said. "He made two or three big plays with his legs." - Charleston Post Courier
