After what he called an “average week” for kicker Nolan Hauser last Saturday, Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney had a message following the Tigers’ second scrimmage of fall camp.
“He had a great day,” Swinney told reporters on Thursday. “Y’all make sure you print that.”

Swinney had said on Aug. 9 after the Tigers’ first live game of fall camp that Hauser had had an average week, including one kick that was “just terrible.”
He offered a more promising report on his sophomore kicker after Thursday’s scrimmage.
“He actually had a really good day,” Swinney said. “He’s had a few good days. But Nolan, stuff just goes off his back. He’s just kind of wired the right way, but I thought he was average last week.”
Swinney had said last Saturday that Hauser needed to “pick it up” and that he hadn’t been as consistent as the Tigers’ coach would like.
