WINSTON-SALEM, NC – Clemson defensive tackle Bryan Bresee stepped out of the Clemson locker room with a smile on his face. The hurt is still there. It won’t ever go away. But for a few hours Saturday afternoon, he played for his sister because he knows she’s watching.
Nate Wiggins broke up Sam Hartman's fourth-down pass in the end zone to help No. 5 Clemson hold off No. 21 Wake Forest 51-45 in double overtime on Saturday at Truist Field.
Bresee didn’t play in last week’s win over Louisiana Tech – he had traveled back to Maryland to be with his family and his 15-year-old sister Ella, who passed away last week from brain cancer.
