CLEMSON’S TOP WIDE RECEIVER COULD MISS ENTIRE 2015 SEASON

|| By FITSNEWS || On the one hand, Mike Williams can move his arms. And his legs.  Which is good news …

The bad news?  The junior wide receiver for Clemson University’s twelfth-ranked football team won’t be on the field anytime in the near future – depriving the Tigers of one of their most potent offensive weapons.

Williams’ slammed into the goal post in the east end zone after making a leaping touchdown catch during the first quarter of the Tigers (1-0, 0-0 ACC) 49-10 victory over Wofford.  According to Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney, he sustained a “small fracture” to the neck.

“We received the results from the MRI and he has a small fracture,” said Swinney.  “Mike is doing well, he can walk and will be at class tomorrow.  He will wear a brace and will be reevaluated again in about six weeks.  I can’t say how long he will be out.  He might not be able to play the rest of this year. We will just have to see how it heals.”

Williams’ catch was originally ruled an incomplete pass out of bounds – but replays clearly showed him touching down in bounds prior to careening into the padded goal post neck-first.  He waved to the 81,000-plus fans in attendance as he was carted off the field by Clemson trainers.

Here’s the play …

“We are very thankful that the overall prognosis is good that he will be able to play again at some point,” Swinney added.  “I can’t say enough about our medical staff.  They did a great job through the entire process.”

A 6-foot-4, 210-pound wideout from Vance, S.C. (Lake Marion High School), Williams led the Tigers with 57 receptions for 1,030 yards last year.  He was one of several Tigers selected as first-team all-Atlantic Coast Conference performers.

“Mike is hard to replace because of his experience and his talent,” Swinney said. “But we cross train receivers and it will give other talented players an opportunity.”

Indeed it will …

In fact one of those “other talented players” – true freshman wide receiver Ray Ray McCloud – hauled in eight passes for 80 yards in making his collegiate debut against Wofford.

Clemson hosts Appalachian State of the Sun Belt Conference next Saturday (September 12) at 12:30 p.m. EDT.  Five days later the Tigers make their first road trip of the 2015 season when they travel to Louisville, Kentucky for a Thursday night game against the Louisville Cardinals.

Minnesota lost to #2 TCU by 6. Guess that tells us how weak everybody else outside the SEC is.

Dabo is a traitor like Haley.Haley surrendered to the race hustlers and took the confederate flag down.Dabo surrendered his faith when they came after him for being a Christian.

Believing in losers appears to be your thing.

You can’t find anyone who agrees with your opinion of Dabo, who will put their real name behind it. Some claim he was too vocal about his faith. Their is plenty of criticism of Urban Meyer’s faith.

Joe Bucknut September 7, 2015 at 2:12 pm

lol…I find the entire Dabo era to be hilarious. He clearly stabbed Bowden in the back as a testimony of his Christian faith.

Haley claims to be a Christian to get elected and then when she doesn’t need those voters that overlooked her personal and professional failings, renders them racists/bigots to further her national political ambitions.

They deserve each other.

I think Dabo’s behavior after being stopped for doing 63 in a 35 showed his true colors, and they were not pretty. It’s people like him that constantly talk and brag about God and religion and how they live the holy lifestyle that you really need to watch out for. They are usually the most crooked people you will find.

yeah, because it only took him 5 years in between his only wins to do it a 2nd time. I guess in 5 years maybe

Clemson, a fragile program September 7, 2015 at 10:36 am

I’m still wondering if Deshaun Watson has been disciplined for stupidly leading Williams into the goal post like that?

We all KNOW that Dabo’s career, and any hopes Clemson has, ride on their belief in Watson. He’s their magic bullet they think. Without him, I think mentally Clemson collapses.

I know the schedule is D-2 level, but if they lose their confidence with Watson gone, Clemson is cooked, and likely equal to the rest of the ACC.

I’d hate to be hanging on such a thin string.

So you named the ONLY 3 ranked teams you play this year as your example? LOL too bad you will lose to ALL of them on your way to 5 losses this year. Good job dickweed. USC has 5 top 25 games already on schedule with a 6th coming after A&M enters the poll this week. Good luck against App st. I think after the win vs mighty Wofford followed by App st (assuming they don’t choke) they might cancel the season and claim Clemsux the greatest team to ever walk the earth. I know you guys do, too bad FSU still owns your conference causing you to only win it 1 time since 91. “Elite” status only for delusional Tater fans. LMAO!!!

They laugh at Clemtech for thinking they are so good when the truth is they haven’t done shit since VT and FSU joined yet they keep thinking they are on the national stage all the time and are elite. After you lose to FSU, ND, GT @Miami, Louisville, and to USC we well see how bad you really are. LMAO

Hey Genius what does “GT, FSU, and ND beat their SEC opponents last season ” have to do anything when it also is quoted as saying they are the “the ONLY 3 ranked teams ” Clemsux plays this year? It already said they were good teams, just that they were the only ones Clemson plays, and then it goes on to say that Clemson will lose to all of them. Is reading comprehension not your bright spot there Sparky? It sucks to be you with that low IQ. But good job on the one win in the last 6 years! Tell us again about it 5 years from now when it might happen again

So what you’re saying is “remember when” is Clemson’s version of USCe’s “wait ’til next year”.

You know damn well its Clemson that is the one saying “wait till next year”. There are tons and tons of video showing Dabo saying it, and saying they were “just 1 or 2 plays away from winning a National Title”. Hell Clemson has been saying wait till next year since 1991 when FSU joined the conference and Clemson couldn’t win anymore, all the while trying to claim the are “elite” while talking about things that happened way back including before Regan was even president. LMAO!!!! They wills ay it again this year too after losing 5-6 games. Good luck with App st this week!! When you go to Louisville you wont come back with a win. And yes as much as you deny it, you really are a tater fan, but just to shy to ashamed it (I would be too if I were)

He didn’t lead him into anything. Williams was shoved into the post.

True, Watson is the engine of the offense and if he were to go out I’m not entirely sure how the Tigers would fare. But the dirt peckers have their own problems to worry about.
