There were a couple of anxious moments for Deshaun Watson – and Clemson fans – early in Saturday’s game against Appalachian State.
Watson was intercepted on the first Clemson possession, and he had to leave the game for a play after a bad snap sailed over his head, leading to him to get hit hard by a Mountaineers defender in the scrum to get the ball.
But no worries.
Watson overcame the early sluggish play to lead Clemson to a 31-point half in a 41-10 win as the Tigers opened their season 2-0. Clemson steps up in competition for the third straight game as it opens ACC play Thursday night at Louisville.
