NEW ORLEANS — As Clemson and Alabama were giving the college football world two of the greatest games in the history of college football the last two years, Kelly Bryant quietly sat on the sidelines and watched it all unfold.
“As a competitor I always wanted to be out there playing but there’s always a time when you have to be patient and wait your turn, and that’s what I did,” the Clemson quarterback said on Friday, just three days before he leads the top-ranked Tigers in to battle against No. 4 Alabama in the College Football Playoff Semifinals at the Sugar Bowl.
