D.J. Uiagalelei showed improvement in Clemson’s 49-3 win over South Carolina State on Saturday.
After a tough start to open the season in the loss to Georgia, offensive coordinator Tony Elliott saw progress in his sophomore quarterback.
“Overall, I thought he had a better pocket presence this week than he did the previous week and so that’s all were asking him to do is get better every week,” Elliott said in a press conference on Monday.
Uiagalelei completed 14-of-24 passes for 171 yards a touchdown and an interception. He also used his legs with five rushes for 23 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
