CLEMSON — Beer, big plays, big hits and touchdowns.
Clemson’s annual Orange & White Spring Game had it all.
Transfer Tristan Smith hauled in five catches for 137 yards, including an amazing catch-and-run 72-yard touchdown, as the Orange defeated the White, 33-15, Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
“It was a great play. It was an unbelievable play,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said.
Instead of its typical split-squad scrimmage, Clemson utilized an offense vs. defense format with a special scoring system for the defense. While offensive scoring was tabulated by traditional means, the defense could score via tu200bakeaways or fourth-down stops (3 points), missed placekicks by the offense (3 points for missed FG, 1 point for missed PAT), two-point conversion stops (2 points), three-and-outs (1 point) or standard defensive scoring (7 points for a defensive touchdown & PAT, and 2 points for a safety).
