Highlights of Dabo Swinney Sunday conference call

September 4, 2011 By

  • Dwayne Allen breaks free for the Tigers' go ahead touchdown against Troy

    Most proud of how team handled adversity and the disciplined it played with. No defensive penalties.

  • Credits his coaching staff…played 24 freshman…pleased it was a better opener than last year.
  • Only questionable injury is Rashard Hall…won’t know for sure until he is checked out Monday.
  • Thought defensively they got better as they went…six three and outs…did a good job against the run.
  • Thought Boyd played well after slow start…was named player of the game.
  • Said Boyd showed good composure in the second half. They did simple things he didn’t do a good job with in firt half but settled down.
  • Thought the offensive line did okay…three sacks, but two on quarterback. Disapointed they didn’t score on fourth and inches.
  • Phillip Price did a good job, was the offensive lineman of the week. The first five offensive linemen all graded out a winner.

Clemson juniors Scott Firth and Richie Shaffer were both named to the Cape Cod League All-Star team, announced last week by Commissioner Paul Galop. Clemson joined Stony Brook as the only two schools to place multiple members on the 25-man team.

Firth, a righthander from Buffalo Grove, IL, was 3-1 with a 1.88 ERA and .218 opponents’ batting average in 43.1 innings pitched over nine starts with Hyannis. He allowed just 32 hits with 33 strikeouts and pitched in the Cape Cod League All-Star game on July 29.

Shaffer, an infielder from Charlotte, NC, hit .263 with 21 runs, 11 doubles, two triples, six homers, 22 RBIs, and 16 walks in 36 games with Chatham. He also hit for the cycle in Chatham’s 10-4 win over Cotuit on June 17 and won the home run derby at Fenway Park prior to the Cape Cod League All-Star game on July 29.
