SDS News: Clemson coach Dabo Swinney impressed by Texas A&M QB Kellen Mond
Swinney shared his thoughts on Mond when he met with the media Monday.
“Very impressed with their quarterback,” Swinney said. “The more I’ve watched of him, really impressive athlete. I’ve met him, he came here and camped one summer. He’s incredibly athletic and he has moxie. He won me over when he’s running the read option and he’s 20 yards downfield leading the way blocking… I know they played a game against a team that didn’t match up real well last week but he made some good throws. Made on throw on the sideline, two really big throws to their tight end. (No.) 81 is a guy that transferred in there. He fits the mold of what Jimbo has had from the tight end position.”
SDS News: Texas A&M RB Trayveon Williams shares thoughts on playing Clemson
Texas A&M star RB Trayveon Williams says the Aggies are confident heading into the game and feel they have an opportunity to show the world what they can do
“It’s a great opportunity for everybody to go out there and perform and show what we can do,” he said. “Just not making it any bigger or any smaller than what it is. It’s a good front seven, but just like what we play in the SEC, those defensive linemen all the time. We’ve just got to keep the main thing the main thing and go out there and perform.
