The victory over Kentucky in the Gator Bowl was the most important thing to Clemson linebacker Barrett Carter, and his key role in turnovers was a close second. But the championship wrestling belt? That can’t be overlooked.
Clemson’s defense forced four Kentucky turnovers, and Carter was right in the thick of it. He tipped one ball that he turned around and caught for an interception, and he recovered a fumble as well. Carter, who has already announced his intention to return to Clemson for a final season, walked into the interview room following the game wearing the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl Championship Belt and a smile as wide as Florida.
