Tom Allen is about to get his first taste of the Clemson-South Carolina rivalry.
It hasn’t taken long for the Tigers’ first-year defensive coordinator to fully immerse himself in it.
“First time being a part of it,” Allen said. “I think what I have learned is that it’s highly passionate and a lot of strong emotions. A lot of strong feelings, both directions, which is awesome. Been in some similar situations, so not really surprised by that. Love having the opportunity. Been in some places that didn’t have a rivalry like this. It is definitely a special thing to be a part of.
