On the Tiki & Tierney show on CBS Sports Network, former Virginia and New York Giants running back Tiki Barber discussed Clemson quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei and his performance in the Tigers’ 27-21, double-overtime loss to NC State in Raleigh last Saturday.
“Fundamentally, he’s got flaws,” Barber said. “He stands perfectly still in the pocket, which looks nice when you take a picture of him because he’s enormous — 6-4 and 250 pounds. But mechanically, when you’re trying to throw a ball accurately, it’s not very effective.”
Uiagalelei completed 12-of-26 passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns with one interception against the Wolfpack, with both of his touchdown passes going to Justyn Ross on throws of 32 and 9 yards.
