Clemson's Tajh Boyd questionable with hip strain

Clemson is saying quarterback Tajh Boyd has a left hip strain and is questionable for Saturday's game at Maryland.

An X-ray and a followup magnetic resonance imaging showed no significant damage to Boyd's leg, after he left the Boston College game in the third quarter. That followed a nasty lower-body hit by B.C. lineman Max Holloway.

It's unclear how Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris will distribute the practice reps this week between Boyd and freshman backup Cole Stoudt. Stoudt did fine managing the lead in the second half, but the Tigers were in a position to play conservatively the rest of the game.
