The media spoke with Clemson center Justin Falcinelli on Monday as the fifth-ranked Tigers began game week in preparation for Saturday’s season opener against Kent State in Death Valley.
Falcinelli, like several of his teammates, is excited about his first start in a Tiger uniform. With the starting spot come high expectations for the center who prepared in the off-season against some of the nation’s best defenders.
Question: How does it feel to get to start the game on Saturday?
Falcinelli: “It hasn’t really set in yet. We were just talking about this this morning, it’s hard to believe that it’s the first game week.
