ESPN announcer says Tigers should worry about King

ESPN analyst and announcer Chris Fowler has seen No. 7 Miami play twice this season and has been impressed with the success head coach Manny Diaz has built around quarterback D’Eriq King.

Top-ranked Clemson hosts the high-flying Hurricanes on Saturday night on ABC with Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit on the broadcast.

Fowler raved about Miami this past Wednesday, but acknowledged the biggest test for its offense will be at Death Valley this weekend.

“D’Eriq King is dynamic,” Fowler said. “I think what we saw from him in the offseason, bringing the leadership and the poise and winning the team over very quickly, and then what he’s done to show these skills sets off whether it’s a run early or a precise passer against Louisville.
