CLEMSON – The mullet stays.
As the final two quarters of football were played in the dominating win over Appalachian State, freshman linebacker Sammy Brown was noticeable both for his play and for the blonde locks flowing out of the back of his helmet.

Linebacker Kobe McCloud suffered a season-ending knee injury that Saturday.
