Go ahead and eat: Wilkins plays big role in dominant defensive effort

CHESTNUT HILL, MA – Christian Wilkins sat down with head coach Dabo Swinney after Clemson knocked off Boston College Saturday night and opened up a bag of chips, oblivious to the interview Swinney was giving.

Swinney turned to Wilkins and said, “Go ahead and eat.”

Wilkins and the entire defense ate Saturday night, holding Boston College to 113 total yards, including just 24 in the first half. The Eagles rushed 33 times for nine yards, an average of 0.3 yards per carry.

“They had nine yards rushing. I mean, so part of that, they had a couple of really bad snaps that took a lot of yards off, but our guys were really dialed in,” Swinney said.
