Clemson freshman linebacker Kane Patterson saw the most extensive action of his young career on Saturday, playing 23 snaps and posting his first career sack in the Tigers’ 45-14 win over Florida State at Death Valley.
“That was really cool,” Patterson told the media on Monday. “I got more opportunities this past game, which was very exciting, just for all the work I’ve put in this summer and fall so far. I got the opportunity and it went well. (FSU quarterback James) Blackman scrambled my way, and it was just really exciting to get my first sack.”
Patterson, who enrolled at Clemson this past summer, has appeared in all six games thus far this season.
