CLEMSON - Walker Parks took his time on his way out of Memorial Stadium following the loss to South Carolina. Despite the sorrow he felt at the moment, he proclaimed to those around him he had faith in Syracuse, the team Clemson needed to win for an ACC Championship spot.
As Parks describes it, a woman walked by him and informed him the Orange were down 21-0 to Miami.
“Well, there’s that,” Parks thought.
Not so fast.
Parks headed to his parents' tailgate, and remained glued to the screen as the game played out, still hopeful.
