Clemson kicker Greg Heugel says South Carolina Matchup Will Be “Personal”
Clemson kicker Greg Heugel on how South Carolina matchup will be personal. After pounding the Duke Blue Devils 35 to 6, Heugel covered how the South Carolina rivalry is heightened even more this year.
Heugel spoke to the media how his practice routines have become more day-to-day, and kick-to-kick, as he expects to meet several of his friends on the field who play for South Carolina and how his mistakes on the field during this game would become very personal.
When asked about how big the rivalry game was, Heugel mainly focused on how Clemson needed to treat this game just like the others in being the biggest game of the year, looking towards the bigger picture, the College Football Playoff. T
his strategy as stated by Heugel follows the Dabo Swinney policy as every game could be their last shot. Heugel emphasized even more of how that last shot mindset has been the pushing point for Clemson so far this season as they remain undefeated heading into rivalry week, as Clemson has been focusing on playing to a standard, not to an opponent.
