Friday Update: Tigers dealing with heat and injuries at Jervey Meadows camp

CLEMSON – The heat was on in Jervey Meadows Friday.

Graduation traffic snarled the parking around McWhorter Stadium and Jervey Meadows Monday morning, and there was plenty of snarling going on at the Tigers’ practice as a muggy heat descended on the wet practice fields. The move to Jervey is supposed to simulate a tough road environment (and usually are the first real tough days of camp), and as the sun peeked out behind the clouds and began to beat down on players and coaches alike, everyone started to feel the heat.

It started with stretching – strength and conditioning coach Joey Batson didn’t like the way the Tiger Jacks (jumping jacks) were performed, so he made them do it again.
