CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson defensive tackle Bryan Bresee will miss Saturday night's game against Louisiana Tech, staying with his family following the death of his younger sister, Ella, this week.
Bresee played in the Tigers' win over Furman last week, and then left to be with his family. Ella Bresee, 15, died Thursday of brain cancer. There will be a service celebrating her life in Gaithersburg, Maryland, on Tuesday.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney left the door open for Bresee to play, but said he had more important issues than football this week.
