CLEMSON – If you’re a Clemson football player, and you don’t want to get smacked by defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, don’t score a touchdown.
Wilkins, the junior out of Connecticut who is one of the unquestioned team leaders on the second-ranked Tigers, is easy to spot after a Clemson score. His familiar No. 42 sprints from the Clemson sideline toward the end zone – he’s quicker than you think – and he finds the teammate that scored the touchdown.
As a reward for the score, that player has Wilkins’ huge paw come crashing down on his helmet.
