Eye of the Tiger: Elliott sees toughness, heart of a champion as players overcome pain

CLEMSON – Two weeks ago, offensive lineman Will Putnam was hobbling around on a swollen ankle and still managing to block Florida State defenders. Last week at Louisville, quarterback DJ Uiagalelei was trying to play with a bulky knee brace, running back Kobe Pace was battling a head injury, wide receiver Joseph Ngata tried to play with a hurt foot, and running back Will Shipley went into the locker room after getting his bell rung and injuring his foot but still returned to play. Why? For the love of the team.
