Clemson discusses quarterback options behind Tait Reynolds for Miami matchup
Summary

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney outlined the quarterback depth for the upcoming game against Miami. With starter Tait Reynolds healthy, fifth-year quarterback Trent Pearman is currently next in line should an injury occur. Christopher Vizzina, who suffered an elbow injury earlier this season, has returned to practice but is still not fully recovered. While Vizzina is available, Pearman would receive the first opportunity to play if needed. This season has already seen Clemson navigate a quarterback injury after Vizzina was sidelined against Georgia Southern.
