If Charlie Whitehurst ever decided to run for Governor in the state of South Carolina, it will probably be a split vote.
On one side, the Clemson faithful would probably fill his ballot up, while the South Carolina faithful would more than likely check their ballot for his opponent. And neither would have anything to do with his platform.
Whitehurst is simply known as the guy who beat South Carolina four times, the only quarterback on either side in the 114-year history of the rivalry to go 4-0 against his archrival.
“I kind of downplayed it early,” Whitehurst said.
