Quarterbacks could not find the right zip code

Tee Higgins stands at 6-foot-4 and weighs 208 pounds. Diondre Overton stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 205 pounds and Justyn Ross stands at 6-foot-4 and weighs 207 pounds. Despite all that height and physicality, Clemson’s quarterback still could not connected with the tall targets in Tuesday’s situational scrimmage at Clemson’s Death Valley.

Though Kelly Bryant, Trevor Lawrence and Chase Brice did well across the board on Tuesday, they could not connect with the big-three wideouts for much of the day.

“They had some really nice plays, but today, I think we had too many no-touches,” Swinney said.

Swinney called his group of wide receivers zip-code wideouts, meaning the quarterback just has to throw the football in the same zip code and they will find a way to come up with the football.
