Inexperience, not talent, separates freshmen receivers from vets

After Clemson’s second scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday, co-offensive coordinator and receivers coach Jeff Scott said Clemson’s three freshmen receivers looked like, well, freshmen.

Scott said freshmen wideouts T.J. Chase, Diondre Overton and Cornell Powell did not have a good day as far as lining up and doing basic things in the offense, and thus, they’re falling behind the veterans in Clemson’s receiving corps.

Head coach Dabo Swinney agreed with Scott after Clemson’s first of two practices Monday, saying that it’s inexperience, not talent, that separates the freshmen from the vets.

“It’s not talent, not athleticism, none of those things,” Swinney said of the freshmen.
