Tee Higgins made Frank Ladson paranoid, but Ladson survived The Hill

CLEMSON – Hey Frank, don’t fall.

Junior wide receiver Tee Higgins made a bold prediction prior to Clemson’s Thursday season opener against Georgia Tech, and it had nothing to do with the final score.

Higgins predicted that freshman wide receiver Frank Ladson would fall running down Clemson’s iconic hill during the Most Exciting 25 Seconds in College Football.

That prediction was on Ladson’s mind as he exited the bus and took in the raucous atmosphere surrounding the hill, and he made up his mind. No running full speed. Just take it easy.

I asked Ladson about the prediction as he faced the media following the 52-14 shellacking of the Yellow Jackets.
