CHARLOTTE, N.C. — When Mitch Hyatt was asked about Clelin Ferrell and Clemson’s vaunted defensive line while onstage in front of media at the ACC Football Kickoff on Thursday, Ferrell, who was sitting nearby, put his fingers in his ears.
That’s because Ferrell did not want to hear yet another person sing the praises of the Tigers’ D-line, which is considered the strength of a team that is expected to contend for the national title this season.
“It’s good publicity, but you get tired of hearing about how good you are, how good you can be,” Ferrell said.
