TCI handed out some helmet stickers following Clemson’s 56-10 victory at Boston College on Friday night…
Wayne Gallman
Gallman wasn’t given many opportunities to contribute in Friday night’s bloodbath, but he made the most of the ones he had. The redshirt junior rushed for 109 yards on only nine carries, including a 59-yard touchdown run with 9:22 remaining in the first quarter that put Clemson on the scoreboard. The touchdown was even more impressive given that the tailback almost slipped down at the line of scrimmage before bursting into the open field. Gallman’s total is only one yard less than he had in last week’s game against Louisville, and he did it on seven fewer carries.
Deon Cain
Cain has firmly established himself as a touchdown machine, and perhaps Deshaun Watson’s most consistent vertical threat not named Mike Williams. Cain snagged another pair of touchdown passes in Friday’s contest, giving him four in the past two weeks. For the game, the sophomore hauled in three passes for a team-best 68 yards. His two touchdown receptions came within 6:20 of each other in the third quarter—a 29-yarder on a deep ball and a nine-yard fade that put the game out of reach at 35-3 with 5:18 to play in the third.
Tavien Feaster
Feaster was a fixture in the backfield and in the slot during garbage time in Friday’s game. The freshman from Spartanburg rushed for 56 yards on only four carries, including a 45-yard touchdown run where he broke away from the pack. It was Feaster’s first career score in a conference game.
Christian Wilkins
In front of a plethora of family and friends, Wilkins had a fine performance back in his home state. The sophomore defensive line standout registered four tackles, including two for loss, and a sack. He was disruptive throughout his time in Friday’s game until he left with a leg injury in the second half.
Ben Boulware
Boulware’s 18-tackle game against Louisville won him some national honors, and he followed it up with a solid effort against Boston College. He co-led the team with nine tackles, and he forced a fumble in the ballgame. Boulware was also briefly flagged for targeting after a vicious hit on quarterback Patrick Towles late in the first half, but instant replay negated the call and saved Boulware an ejection.
Mark Fields
When the game was already basically over, Fields added insult to injury for the home team. The sophomore cornerback intercepted a pass and returned it for a 42-yard touchdown to cap the scoring with 90 seconds remaining in a 56-10 victory. Fields’ interception was the only one for the Tigers’ defense in the game.
