by - Assoc. Editor -

Clemson tight end Jordan Leggett spoke to the media following Saturday's thrilling 24-17 overtime win against North Carolina State in Death Valley.

On where this game ranks in his Clemson career:

“It is definitely up there. This is one of the few overtime games I have been in since high school, and it is definitely one I will remember.”

On how playing with the great expectations has affected the team:

“Yes, every team we play for the rest of the schedule is going to play us their best, just like NC State. We have to look forward to that because we have a target on our back.”

On NC State lining up for the game-winning field-goal attempt:

“I couldn’t even watch. I had my face in my towel praying and somebody up above was looking out for us.”

On if you were concerned heading into overtime:

“Yes, definitely if we got the ball back, I knew we would be able to win.”
