Clemson had just scored its second touchdown of the night at Boston College, which was set up by a 50-yard diving catch by Mike Williams.
The bench was feeling loose. Things could not have gone any better for the third-ranked Tigers to start a game.
As running back Wayne Gallman was coming back to the sideline, he noticed other running backs on the team—Tyshon Dye, C.J. Fuller and Tavien Feaster—were laughing and joking around. Gallman walked over to them and said, “We are going to blow them out. You are going to play.”
At the time the three backs were laughing and making jokes about the weather, but once Gallman spoke to them, they knew they needed to focus.
