D.J. Uiagalelei had a memorable day against The Citadel on Saturday while playing in his first game at Death Valley.
The true freshman quarterback found the end zone twice on a pair of rushing touchdowns in the No. 1 Tigers’ 49-0 blowout of the Bulldogs at Memorial Stadium.
Uiagalelei came into the game to replace Trevor Lawrence with Clemson leading by 28 points early in the second quarter. Following a 44-yard punt return by Travis Etienne to The Citadel 6-yard line, Uiagalelei notched the first touchdown of his college career on a 1-yard rush up the middle on third-and-goal, extending the Tigers’ lead to 35-0 with 13 minutes left in the first half.
