NOTEBOOK NOTES: Here's the inevitable notebook from the Greenville News. Today's edition features an update on Clemson's attempts to get receiver Roscoe Crosby back on the field (the paperwork hasn't been sent to the NCAA yet, so it looks shaky); a quick discussion on the future of senior linebacker Brandon Jamison, who is academically ineligible this season; the possibility of playing time for redshirt freshman quarterback Chansi Stuckey; the big hit Toure Francis laid on a teammate; and a thunderstorm that shut down the first practice session after just five minutes.
