Chase Brice will be remembered for Clemson faithful for years to come. Most credit him with “saving” Clemson’s last championship season with his fourth-quarter drive against Syracuse and while I won’t go that far as no one knows how the season would have shaken out with that loss, he was still a big part of the Clemson program.
Immediately after the announcement came, the same question kept popping up – why Duke? In reality, no one knows who offered Brice around the country. I know that Clemson fans were hoping he would follow Jeff Scott down to South Florida, but most people also understood that Brice’s talent level was Power 5 good and he was never going to head to Tampa.
