The Clemson football team arrives in New Orleans later today, and like any young man traveling to a new spot for the first time, defensive end Clelin Ferrell is interested in the food that the Big Easy has to offer.

Top-ranked Clemson is set to battle No. 4 Alabama on New Year’s Day at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The Tigers arrive Wednesday afternoon and will practice at Tulane University, but when they aren’t practicing Ferrell wants to experience what New Orleans has to offer even though he hasn’t really done a lot of research.

“I haven't, and that's kind of sad because when you go into a place like that, you get to experience a little bit of the fun side of New Orleans - the tourist part,” Ferrell said.
