Williams, Offense Playing with Lots of Confidence…

CLEMSON – Clemson opens ACC play this week at Memorial Stadium, as NC State comes to town in a key conference matchup. Wide receiver Antonio Williams spoke with the media on Tuesday about the offense and preparation for the upcoming matchup.

–The junior suffered an injury last season allowing him to only play in five games. “It’s just a blessing to be on that field every time” he said. “Just taking it game-by-game, day-by-day and just enjoying it.”

–Williams has started in both games this season. He has 120 yards on nine receptions so far. When asked about his performance so far this season he said, “I’ve been doing pretty good. I’m just happy to be out there. Every chance I get I’m going to make the most of it so I’m happy with what’s going on.”

–The 21^st-ranked Tigers look to stay in the win column after their dominant win over App State on Sept. 7. Williams was asked about carrying that momentum from that game into the matchup on Saturday against the Wolfpack. He said, “I think our confidence is very high right now. We have a lot of momentum, but we have to handle the success just like we handled the adversity of that first game. We don’t want to get too high and think that we can’t be beat or that that’s going to happen every game just because we did it one time.”

-The 2022 season was the last time Clemson won the ACC championship. The junior knows what each conference game means and the mentality it takes to help the Tigers get back to championship game. He said, “We know that this game is very important if we want to get to Charlotte, own our conference and try to win another ACC Championship.”
