    Clemson will be without star receiver Sammy Watkins for its season-opening showdown with Auburn after Tigers coach Dabo Swinney suspended the All-American for two games after an offseason drug arrest.

    Watkins was pulled over during a traffic stop May 4 and found to have marijuana and two pills he didn't have a prescription for. He was charged with two counts of possession, both misdemeanor charges. The 19-year-old Watkins was eligible for a pretrial intervention program as a first-time offender.

    Swinney said he told Watkins then he could sit him for as many as four games if the receiver didn't follow guidelines of his team or legal punishment. Swinney met with Watkins' attorney Bob Ariail earlier Friday to make sure the sophomore complied with the rules of intervention program.
