It has been a disaster of a season for Clemson and Dabo Swinney. Clemson has deal wth a ton of injuries all year long, and on Saturday, they fell to Georgia Tech. Tait Reynolds got the start at quarterback for Clemson, but lasted just one drive before being injured.

Now, an update is being given on the quarterback, per On3.

“Clemson starting QB Tait Reynolds has suffered a ligament tear in his left knee and will undergo surgery,” the update read.

Reynolds attempted just one pass against Georgia Tech, good for a three-yard completion. He also ran once for 24 yards. He took over as the starting quarterback for Clemson on September 19 against North Carolina. Reynolds has completed 156 of 241 passes for 1,449 yards and three touchdowns. He also has four interceptions.

Reynolds, a freshman, was replaced by senior Trent Pearman. He completed just two of six passes for six yards before he was removed from the game. That led to Christopher Vizzina jumping in at quarterback. He completed 12 of 27 passes for 133 yards with an interception. Vizzina suffered a concussion and went to the hospital after the game. He was already dealing with a left ankle injury and was dressed as an emergency quarterback for the game.

Now, Clemson needs to figure out who will be at quarterback on Friday night against Duke. Swinney could go back to Pearman, or send out freshman Brock Bradley. The team also has Chris Denson, who moved from quarterback to wide receiver in the offseason. Regardless, it will be a difficult test against a Duke defense allowing just 15.3 points per game.
