Mafah on his performance against the Irish: “I knew what I had to do”

CLEMSON - Riddled with injuries, Clemson’s offense was up against it versus No. 12 Notre Dame, especially without their starting running back, junior Will Shipley.

It turns out the Tigers had just about all they needed in junior running back Phil Mafah, who put on a clinic with a school-tying 36 carries for a career-high of 186 yards and two touchdowns.

“I just came in with the mindset that whatever amount of carries I get, I’m just going to try to make the most out of each and every one, and I’m just glad that that included a win for us,” Mafah said.
