James Skalski had to watch a host of young players get their first start at Wake Forest last Saturday thanks to a targeting call in the second half of the national championship game that kept him on the bench for the first half.
The senior linebacker entered the game in the second half, but he was proud of the way young players stepped up to fill his shoes and keep the Demon Deacons scoreless in the first 30 minutes.
Skalski felt the game plan and preparation ahead of the matchup with the Demon Deacons allowed young players to shine in the season opener for Clemson.
