CLEMSON – While Clemson players and coaches waited at the team hotel before Saturday’s home finale against Wake Forest, co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott watched wide receiver Tee Higgins and noticed that the junior playmaker wasn’t his normal, playful self. And it worried Elliott enough that he approached Higgins to make sure everything was ok.
It was. Higgins was simply locked in.
Higgins atoned for an uncharacteristic drop against NC State a week earlier by catching four passes for 64 yards in the 52-3 victory over Wake Forest. Three of those catches went for touchdowns.
