CLEMSON – At some point Saturday afternoon, the Death Valley crowd will be at full throat cheering on the Tigers in a big situation and Wofford’s defense will have to try and find a way to stop the offense and put pressure on quarterback Deshaun Watson. It’s at that point that freshman left tackle Mitch Hyatt will have to clear his head and trust Eric Mac Lain.
Hyatt will be the first true freshman to start the first game of the season at left tackle since 1944 when Phil Prince started the opener against Presbyterian.
