When Deshaun Watson ran a bootleg to his right and hit RaShaun Allen for a 6-yard gain in Wednesday’s preseason game between Houston and Carolina in Charlotte, N.C., a loud roar came from the new Allen Reeves Football Complex in Clemson.
“You could hear it,” Clemson co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott said. “The whole team was cheering for him, talking and all of that. That was special. As a coach, that was very rewarding (to watch).”
Watson was one of six former Tigers playing in the preseason opener for both NFL teams. Houston has five former Clemson players on its current roster, while the Panthers have one.
