CHARLOTTE, NC – The Clemson football team filed into the tunnel underneath Bank of America Stadium late Saturday, the stands above them shaking and reverberating as the Georgia fans celebrated and chanted, “U-G-A! U-G-A! U-G-A!” into the night. Some of the players looked up, watched the stands shake, and then looked back down and continued the trudge to the locker room.
It was a poignant moment on a night when there weren’t many poignant moments. The defense? That group was nasty. I thought Bryan Bresee and Ruke Orhorhoro and Baylon Spector and Andrew Booth all played like the grown men they are.
