Clemson has two quarterbacks undergoing evaluation after Georgia Tech handed the Tigers a 20-6 loss, during which they lost starter Tait Reynolds on the first drive of the game because of a left knee injury.
After initially turning to third-string quarterback Trent Pearman, who was ineffective, the Tigers went to Christopher Vizzina, who has been hobbled because of an ankle injury during the past few weeks. He was limited in practice this week and was limping throughout the game.
After a big hit during the Tigers’ final drive, Vizzina appeared to aggravate his ankle injury. He was taken to a hospital from the locker room after the loss. He finished with 133 passing yards and one interception while rushing for 12 yards on 10 attempts.
“Unbelievable will to win,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said of Vizzina gutting through his injury. “Unbelievable fight from that kid.”
Reynolds appeared to injure his left knee after sliding at the end of a 7-yard run on the first drive of the game. He came up hobbling and had to be helped off the field. After going into the locker room, he returned to the sideline with a brace on the knee.
Swinney said Reynolds’ knee “locked up” and that he will have an MRI.
The loss drops Clemson to 6-4 (4-3). They next face Duke in Durham on Friday.
