| SOUTH BEND, Ind. When Dabo Swinny decided to pull DJ from the Syracuse game back on Oct. 22, it worked out for fourth-ranked Clemson.When the veteran head coach did it again on Saturday, it aided in the 35-14 lo s to Notre Dame.Backup quarterback Cade Klubnik was intercepted by Benjamin Morrison at the Clemson 14, setting up a short touchdown three plays later, which opened up the game and signaled the end of Clemsons 14-game winning streak.What made it seem worse for the Tigers (8-1) was the fact Uiagalelei appeared to get in rhythm before being pulled from the game. Though Clemson did not score, he drove Jordan Bowden Jersey the Tigers from their own 3-yard line to their 48 before things bogged down.It appeared Clemson finally had a little mojo on , as did Uiagalelei. Then he was pulled from the game and the Tigers never recovered.We just wanted to try and get a spark going, Clemson offensive coordinator said. I told both of them to just be ready and I told DJ to keep his head in it because you never know what can happen, so he stayed James Harden Jersey positive and obviously we had to come back to him.Down 21-0, Uiagalelei came back in the game on the Tigers next po se sion. He drove them down to the Notre Dame 19-yard line, where on second-and-10 he tried to hit Joseph Ngata down the near sideline. Instead, Morrison recorded his second interception of the night and returned it 96 yards for a touchdown.After being pulled from the game, and then throwing a pick-six, it would have been easy to a sume Uiagalelei would quit. He did not.Instead, he came Taurean Prince Jersey back out and led Clemson on an 11-play, 75-yard drive, which included his 21-yard run up the middle on third-and-nine, moving the football to the Notre Dame one. Shipley scored on the next play.Scroll to ContinueMy biggest thing is I am a team player. I want to do whatever is best for the team, Uiagalelei said. I want to be the best person. So, if that means I have to go out and go block kicks or go give water to anybody, then I will give drinks to everybody.For me, my mindset is to be able to be the best person on the team and be the best leader I can be for anyone on the team. Whatever I need to do, that is all I do.Uiagalelei led Clemson on a second scoring drive at the end of the game. Another 10-play, 75-yard drive which he capped with a four-yard touchdown pa s to Ngata.It did not surprise me one bit to see him come back and play with confidence. He is a team guy all the way. He is a guy that is Kevin Durant Jersey going to battle until the end, Streeter said.Uiagalelei, who completed 27-of-39 pa ses for 191 yards, said he respected s decision to pull him.That is Coach Swinneys decision right there. I respect everything that he does, the Clemson quarterback said. I was right there trying to support Cade and give Cade as much confidence as po sible.
