Huegal, Teasdall bear traits of 'gamers'

Nobody coaches the kickers and punters at Clemson University , but that’s not much different than most anywhere in college football.

As Clemson’s special teams coach, Danny Pearman has kickers and punters under his supervision. Though Pearman has a great deal of experience with college special teams, he would probably be out of his element tutoring Clemson’s new kicker Greg Huegel and new punter Andy Teasdall on the finer points.

Most kickers have a mentor much like a golfer has a swing coach, but on a major college football roster the other 110 players often have several people qualified in blocking, tackling, running, throwing or catching.
