Deshaun Watson continues Heisman push with 2 TDs vs Boston College

Coming off a huge win against Louisville, Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson continues to bolster his Heisman resume, scoring two early touchdowns against Boston College.

If anyone was expecting a drop-off game from Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson after leading the Tigers to a huge win over Lamar Jackson and the Louisville Cardinals last week, they were likely disappointed through the first quarter of Friday night’s game.

In a road game against the Boston College Eagles, Watson and the Tigers quickly built a 21-3 first quarter lead by the power of Watson’s throwing arm.

With the Tigers already leading 7-3 late in the opening quarter, Watson delivered a nine-yard strike to wide receiver Mike Williams to put Clemson up 14-3.

Watson’s first touchdown of the night was set up by another dime to Mike Williams that put the Tigers in scoring range:

Aside from an impressive grab by Williams, Watson placed the ball perfectly on both throws to give his team a bit of an extra cushion in this ACC matchup.

Less than two minutes later, Watson’s pass to a wide open Jordan Leggett went for 56 yards and a touchdown to give the Tigers a commanding 21-3 lead before the second quarter had even started.

Early in the second quarter, Watson is 5-for-9, with two of his completed passes going for touchdowns. He has 126 yards and is averaging 14.0 yards per throw in the early stages of the game.
