Dabo Swinney remembers Tajh Boyd’s first two games as Clemson’s starting quarterback like it was yesterday. He had just brought in Chad Morris to run the offense and Boyd beat out Cole Stoudt as the starting quarterback that spring and summer.
Swinney and Morris both bragged about Boyd’s progress leading up to the start of the season and how far the Virginia native had come since the spring in learning Morris’ power-spread attack. Then the season started and Swinney and Morris were scrambling around wondering where their quarterback was.
Boyd and the offense struggled early in Clemson’s wins over Troy and Wofford.
