For the record, Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd is not afraid of South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. Boyd addressed Clowney’s recent comments that he, along with Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray, fear the big-hitting Clowney.

“Am I scared?” Boyd asked Sunday at the ACC media days event in Greensboro, N.C. “No, I’m not scared.”

Boyd declined the opportunity to engage Clowney further.

“Honestly, those are things that I’m not really focused on at the moment,” said Boyd, himself an All-America. “We’ll see those guys in November, but in the meantime we’ve got a lot of work that we need to accomplish as a program and as a team before we reach that step.”
