CLEMSON – Marcus Tate’s injury and subsequent time away rekindled his love for the game, and he will never again take playing football for granted.
Last November, the Tigers were on their way to dismantling Miami 40-10 in Death Valley when Tate went down with a knee injury that caused him to miss the rest of the season and spring practice.
"I tore my MCL, my MPFL (medial patellofemoral ligament) - because my kneecap fell out and went back in - and then I tore a part of my patella," Tate told us last week.
