Superman states his Heisman case on the field in rivalry win

COLUMBIA, SC – Every player, coach and spectator took notice of Deshaun Watson Saturday afternoon as he put on a performance for the ages, but Clemson’s sophomore quarterback is more focused on his team’s goals rather than personal accolades.

The difference for Clemson in Saturday’s 37-32 victory over South Carolina at Williams-Brice Stadium is that the Tigers had Watson on their side, as he made his case as the nation’s best player.

The gameplan for Saturday was to put the ball in Watson’s hands, and he completed 20-of-27 passes for 279 yards and a touchdown and added 21 carries for 114 yards and three scores.
