Wertz leads Georgia Southern into No. 2 Clemson

Shai Wertz knows what to expect when his Georgia Southern team challenges No. 2 Clemson on Saturday afternoon in a battle of unbeaten teams at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, S.C.

"I know it's going to be loud," said Georgia Southern's sophomore quarterback, who is from Newberry, S.C. "I grew up going to games at Clemson, so I know what it's going to be like on third down."

Clemson actually recruited Wertz as an athlete and offered him a scholarship a few years ago, but he eventually decided he'd rather be a quarterback at a smaller school than play another position at a larger school.
