Yusef Kelly: There was more to 2004 Clemson-Carolina Brawl than what fans, media saw

Unfortunately, former Clemson running back Yusef Kelly is perhaps known more for what happened in the 2004 Clemson-South Carolina game than anything else in his Clemson career.

Of course, the 2004 game is the year both sidelines cleared as a brawl broke out on Frank Howard Field late in the game following a tackle by former Clemson defensive end Bobby Williamson on then South Carolina quarterback Syvelle Newton.

The most infamous picture from that game is the one of Kelly kicking a USC player who was laying on the ground. However, everyone has their side of the story and Kelly recently told his to The Clemson Insider and how quickly someone, who is mild in nature like Kelly, can lose his or her cool when provoked.
