Clemson's highly anticipated quarterback decision has been made, with Christopher Vizzina set to start against No. 11 LSU. Coach Dabo Swinney announced the choice on Tuesday, naming Vizzina as the Tigers' QB1 for their major Week 1 road matchup.
Vizzina earned the starting role after an offseason competition. He brings valuable experience, having played in 14 games and completing 64 of 105 passes for 596 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. His single career start against SMU last season was particularly impressive, yielding 317 yards and three touchdowns, a feat not achieved by a Clemson quarterback since Deshaun Watson in 2014.
The upcoming game on Saturday, September 5th, at 7:30 p.m. ET, presents a significant challenge for Vizzina as he leads Clemson into the intimidating Tiger Stadium. This marks his first opportunity to start the season as the designated quarterback in a high-stakes contest.
