Quote made earlier today from Cole Stoudt after being benched this year.
The biggest thing, he said, was to make sure that he didn't have a bad attitude. Stoudt said that could have bubbled over and affected the team as a whole.
"The team is bigger than just one player."
But it wasn't easy. He leaned on a lot of different people to help deal with being benched.
"Family was a huge part. They talked to me every single day. Friends from back home, friends here on campus, teammates, they were helping me. It's big to have people helping me, especially on this team."
He's right. Players like Chad Kelly, and many others, could have tried to sabotage the rest of the team given their personal failures, which would have a significant affect on the chemistry we have seemed to develop. Cole Stoudt was better than that.
Stoudt may not be the most phenomenal talent, but he is OUR talent. All the players that put on those tiger uniforms want to be Clemson tigers, and for that alone we should give them our full support.
Get behind this young man or GFY. Win, lose, or draw, I'm a CLEMSON supporter. Go Cole. Go Tigers.
