Coach Swinney confident that Gallman will play next week

Clemson Tigers’ coach Dabo Swinney reported on Wednesday that he expects running back Wayne Gallman to play against Florida State next week.

After a brutal hit in the first few seconds of the NC State matchup, Gallman left the game with a concussion.

Swinney stated on the ACC coaches’ teleconference that Gallman is “doing great.” The running back has been on concussion protocol all this week and has been unable to attend practices.

“He’s just a great football player,” Swinney said. “He’s our leader at that position, and we really like our other players but we don’t have a lot of experience there.
