Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney has named Christopher Vizzina his starting quarterback for the Tigers' opener at LSU.
"He's earned that," Swinney said during a press conference on Sept. 1.
"It's been a lot of fun," Swinney said of the quarterback battle. "They've had a very detailed process on how they've gone through it. Every practice, every rep, every throw, everything has been graded to the ninth degree, and (Vizzina) is just a little ahead. He's not a mile ahead, but he's ahead, and practice matters."
Vizzina was the top backup for Cade Klubnik the last two seasons, but with Klubnik now in the NFL, the door opened for the senior to win the job.
While Vizzina was the likely starter heading into the summer, he was competing against freshman Tait Reynolds. Swinney said "there was a time" when he thought Reynolds would win the job, but that Vizzina separated himself during fall camp.
