Clemson quarterback DJ Uiagalelei recovered nicely after a slow start to the game, finding sophomore wide receiver Beaux Collins for a six-yard touchdown for his first passing touchdown of the season.
The Tigers’ offense was pretty stagnant early in the game, having trouble getting anything going on the ground or pushing the ball downfield. Uiagalelei got things going on the team’s sixth drive of the game, marching the offense downfield for the score.
Now 7-10 for 85 yards and a touchdown, it was exactly the type of drive Uiagalelei needed to regain some confidence.
Here’s a look at how Twitter reacted to DJ’s first touchdown of the season:

TOUCHDOWN#Clemson: 14
Georgia Tech: 0A great scramble drill by Beaux Collins. He works back across the back of the end zone to get open and DJ Uiagalelei finds him. A solid 8-play 67-yard touchdown drive.

DJ Uiagalelei on #Clemson's 2nd TD Drive:
– 4 for 6 passing, 53 yards
– 1 rush for 12 yards
– 6 Yard Touchdown pass to Beaux Collins— Reggie Chatman Jr. (@ReggieChatman) September 6, 2022
MVP of that touchdown drive: Clemson receiver Beaux Collins
DJ Uiagalelei should have some confidence now. He needed that. Got some tempo, seemed more in control (save for that pass at goal line).
