CLEMSON – Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott knows that quarterback DJ Uiagalelei has struggled with his accuracy this season, but he reiterated earlier this week that not all of the throws are Uiagalelei’s fault. He knows Uiagalelei will not only have to throw the ball with accuracy this week, but also he's going to have to run it for the offense to be effective.
In fact, Uiagalelei injured his throwing hand against UConn when the interior of the Huskies’ defensive line generated a push and Uiagalelei’s hand smacked against a helmet. The fact that the pocket got pushed around is one of the reasons some of his throws were off the mark.
