Turner, veteran Tiger defense taking ownership after sting of CFP defeat

The Sugar Bowl loss to Ohio State last month left a bitter taste in “super” senior safety Nolan Turner's mouth and he knew there was no other choice -- he would return to Clemson for another shot at a National Championship.

“My mind was made up right after the last game,” Turner said after the first spring practice on Wednesday. “There’s things I have to get better at, and obviously the season didn’t end how we wanted it to and to have one more run at it are all things that factored in.”

Turner will now enroll in graduate school at Clemson and have a shot to win a sixth-straight ACC Championship come December this year.
