A couple of hours before Clemson’s 24-point win over South Carolina in Columbia last year, Christian Wilkins and one of his teammates were tossing the football in the end zone, like they always do prior to a game.
In one instance the ball sailed and went over Wilkins’ head and into the hedges, which are located in the back of the Carolina end zone. A South Carolina student picked up the football and held it out to Wilkins as if “here you go.” As Clemson’s All-American defensive tackle went over to get the ball and thank him, the Gamecock fan threw the ball as hard as he could to about the 40-yard line and then proceeded to stare Wilkins down.
