CLEMSON — The Clemson Football team was back at practice Monday behind the Allen Reeves Football Complex in Clemson.

The media got the opportunity to watch the first four and a half periods of practice. The Tigers were working out in shells, as they finish the acclamation part of practice which is required by the NCAA.

Here is what we were able to observe while watching the quarterbacks.

–Though we know Christopher Vizzina and Tait Reynolds are one and two in the quarterback battle thus far, Trent Pearman is the third man in the rotation, followed by freshman Brock Bradley and transfer Colson Brown.

–Offensive coordinator Chad Morris and quarterbacks coach Tajh Boyd both led the drills on Monday.

–In one drill, Boyd would roll a ball at the quarterbacks, while they looked straight ahead. At the same time, another coach was grabbing them while trying to disrupt the throw. Both Vizzina and Reynolds did fine on the drill.

–Morris led the next drill, as he had the quarterbacks backup and step forward to navigate themselves through the pocket. While they were doing that, Morris was watching their feet and how they threw the football. He got on to Brown for throwing a lollypop. “No lollypops,” he yelled.

–On the next drill, the quarterbacks worked on throwing wide receiver screens. Morris was again quick to correct mistakes he saw. Vizzina thew a little high on a screen and then Reynolds threw one even higher. “Bring the ball down,” Morris yelled to his players after Reynolds’ throw.

–The Tigers then moved to “pitch-and-catch” drills. Vizzina and Reynolds were lined up opposite each other with Pearman lined up with Reynolds and Bradley with Vizzina. The inside quarterback was asked to throw down the middle or deep, while the outside quarterbacks worked on the sidelines and outs. To be honest, in my opinion, Vizzina and Reynolds graded about the same. They had some really good throws, were behind on a couple, and were late on a few deep balls. Overall, though, they looked good.

–Clemson then moved to “Team” when the offense came together and worked on their two-minute offense. Vizzina and Reynolds looked good on the skinny post throws and deep balls. However, Vizzina was behind on one throw to Tyler Brown on an out-route, which Brown went to the ground and caught it sliding for a short gain. To be honest, that was probably the worst throw by either QB during the 25 or so minutes we were allowed to watch practice.
