Christopher Vizzina takes confidence out of 'really special moment'

Christopher Vizzina worked behind the scenes to become the best player he can be when called upon.

In Clemson's home opener, the 6-4 QB out of Birmingham, Alabama, took the field against Appalachian State and did just that.

Starting quarterback Cade Klubnik came out first and dominated the Mountaineers. The Tigers scored 56 points in the first half. In the locker room, Garrett Riley and Dabo Swinney came to Vizzina to inform him he was taking over for Klubnik. Vizzina saw his first real action other than running the clock down in the fourth quarter.
