Demerick Chancellor led the running backs with 6-87 rushing, including a 55-yard touchdown run against the second-team defense. Paul Macko had 7-34, James Davis 7-27, C.J. Spiller 5-23 and Reggie Merriweather 3-4.
Sixteen different receivers caught the ball during the scrimmage that was played in perfect weather conditions.
Jacoby Ford had the most receptions with six for 32 yards. Nelson Faerber had five catches for 32 and reserve Philip Ashe had four for 32. It was also a good day for the tight ends. Freshman Michael Palmer had three catches for 26 as he continues to play well. First-team tight end Thomas Hunter had 2-33 and Barry had 1-38 and the touchdown. Fullback Alex Pearson had 3-25 in terms of receiving.
Sophomore wide receiver Aaron Kelly had made up significant ground on sophomore Rendrick Taylor over the last several days of workouts. Bowden confirmed that on Saturday when addressing the media. "Aaron has had a good few days here recently," he said. "Rendrick had gone ahead, now Aaron has caught up with him, and might have gone ahead a little."
Bowden again said Saturday the coaching staff is looking at a scenario where both Ford and Spiller will be on the field at the same time to field punts this fall.
Spence states in addition to being consistant on the ground and through the air, this years Clemson team will be undoubtably explosive on offense and special teams.
