I, too am sad about Giff Timothy. I believed he was having knee issues this entire year, because he had begun to develop into what we all wanted, and then the injury last year. Since that it has not been the same guy. I know how that is, and it is sad to see it happen to a guy who was doing so well. The great news is Dabo understands and is going to use the positives Giff possesses so he still can contribute to this team. I don't think most coaches would look for a positive outcome. Dabo is a very special man in many regards.

I agree. When our lelt tackle went out in the Orange Bowl things went south from that point on. Even after driving to the one yard line and that fumble occurred which shocked the world. One play behind our left tackle and that game would have been totally different. I truely felt concerned from a offensive standpoint as I sat there that night and watch him exit the field and didn't return.

Really glad we have a coach that finds a way to keep kids

on the bus rather than throw them under it.

All these examples where kids have had to end their career early but were allowed to stay in school and working with the team shows that they are more than a number to Clemson and is a big reason why recruiting is at the level it is.

Every coach tells recruits and their mommas "we care about you" Clemson has multiple concrete examples that prove we really do.
