TCI hands out some helmet stickers to top performers in Saturday’s 23-13 win over Florida State…

B.J. Goodson

For the second consecutive week, Goodson was a man possessed on defense. He led the Tigers with nine tackles—3.5 of which came behind the line of scrimmage. Twice, he sacked Sean Maguire, which was something none of his teammates could do in Saturday’s game. Goodson also iced the game when he recovered a Travis Rudolph fumble with 2:15 to play. Dabo Swinney was complimentary of his MIKE linebacker during postgame once again after another stellar effort in the middle of the Clemson defense.

Ben Boulware

Boulware played his worst game of the season in Raleigh last week, but his bounce back performance was a thing of beauty for the Tigers. After some early missteps in run defense, the Anderson native corrected his mistakes and had a productive afternoon. He piled up six tackles, which tied him for second on the team, but that was far from his only contribution. Boulware broke up a pass, pressured the quarterback once, and forced a critical fumble with 2:15 to play that allowed the Tigers to take over possession and run out the clock. Boulware was also in on perhaps the most important tackle of the game—a fourth down stop of Dalvin Cook for no gain with 6:17 to play that gave Clemson the ball before its game-clinching touchdown.

Greg Huegel

Saturday’s contest looked increasingly like a field goal game as it wore on, and Clemson fans had to feel at least decent about that prospect because of the way Huegel performed kicking the ball. He nailed all three of his field goals in the game, and he did it so convincingly that there was an air of inevitability that accompanied his kicks. Even with the NCAA’s top kicker on the opposing sideline, Huegel’s trio of makes—from 31, 25, and 34 yards, respectively—gave Clemson exactly what it needed in a nip-and-tuck struggle.

Wayne Gallman

The Wayne Train rolled all over Death Valley once again. His presence was critically important at the beginning of the game and again at the end. The outset of the game featured a Clemson offense that struggled to find its identity, so it turned to Gallman. At the end, the sophomore running back punctuated a resounding victory with a 25-yard touchdown run as he was attempting to grind away as much of the clock as possible. 103 yards on 22 carries is not the most impressive stat line of Gallman’s season, but it came in the most important game, and that matters.

Jordan Leggett

On several occasions this season, Leggett has made headlines for catching one or two passes—just as long as those catches resulted in touchdowns. Against the Seminoles, Leggett made headlines based on quantity. His six receptions were second-best on the team, and his 101 receiving yards led the Tigers on a day in which their passing game concluded play just shy of the 300-yard threshold. Both of those numbers were career highs for the junior tight end.
