Denson has Opportunity to Win Starting Job

CLEMSON — When Chris Denson came into the Furman game in Clemson’s last home game last fall, the fans were amazed at what they saw.

The freshman quarterback looked like Clemson great Woodrow Dantzler. An electric dual-threat quarterback from Plant City, Fla., who instantly breathed life into a Clemson offense that was not playing well at the time.

Denson entered the game in the fourth quarter, and on his second carry he broke off a 50-yard run — Clemson’s longest of the season. Two plays later, he threw his first career touchdown on a 4-yard pass to tight end Logan Brooking.
